LG KM900


Sometimes the phone freeze and have to restart
Touch Screen below part is not responsive sometimes
Some Handset Proximity Sensor is not in good condition, have to fix or have to change the sensor
I don't want to mention about battery life.
It is sure that has low battery life but just look the screen resolution that is the best ever. I love it everytime I see phone screen.
If you are a user who needs to make many calls, just off the touch vibration and touch sound. One more step. ON the power saver setting. That will keep your battery life last longer as non-touch screen phone.
Now this is the popular question in this website that is about GPS Navigation.
Lucky Arena has 'stand alone' GPS receiver that can get GPS Signal without connection. The problem is GPS Navigation Software as Google Map is good software but it depends on Internet connection. What we are talking and asking here is Connection_Free GPS Software. the best software is "MobileGmap". It is totally free but no voice guide. I have use MobileGmap for quite long time and satisty about this software. But I have to admit that It can not compare with Nokia Map. If u don't mind about connection charges, "WisePilot" is the best for LG.
Now how about the accelerator meter sensor. It's not too good when you try to send SMS and playing music player. Except that I think It's quite OK.

> In reply to Fahad @ 2009-11-23 19:10 from 956jya ofcourse, these two r totally from different domains, and being a smart phone with a symbian os 5800 can accomodate many 3rd pary application, but at the same time developing a phones interface on any specified given os puts some restrictions on the designes of the phone as well, since they cant make the phone do all the functions they want frm it in their way...they have to go according to the os,that os puts some restrictions in the designers view of making the phone to work...

so for the same reason, some designers of phone dont go for any open platform os , rather they choose a closed os also known as Propetiary os which they develop on thier own...
as they are making their own os they have full freedom of doing their functions accordingly nd they dont have to get restricted by the limitations of the os...just for improving the UI experience and the phone's usability , the designers try to develop the phone in their own os...

otherwise , u only try to think why any developer will go fr any hardshift and try to develop a totally new os for any phone, rather he can simply choose any of the present open os' like symbian, winmo, android etc avalable in the market nd can develop the phone on this platform, that will be simple fr him.

then why the developer r going fr a difficult job by designing a totally new interface for some phone,definitely there will be some reason behind this step...

they choose to make their own Propetiary os just to increae the usability and UI of the phone more friendly and fill it with most of the functions so u need not have to look fr many 3rd pary applications...
this is the case with arena...if u put any os like symbian in arena...that will simply ruin most of its functionality...
if u want a phone that can accomodate anything that u want frm it, then u can go fr smart phones...other wise if u want a nice and clean interface and a friendly UI with all of the functionalitis of a high end device with good multimedia support, u can go fr arena..
i am not offending anyone...this is just my view..
every phone is gr8 in its own way...

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-11-23 07:25 from utnYsorry but no offence, you cant compare a normal phone with smart phone. 5800 is a symbian set, arena is a normal set. i know it is great, but you cant compare with this two, they are unique on their own way.

> In reply to ummid (nepal) @ 2009-11-23 10:54 from w9D0for me the phone never ever hanged while viewing my doc files or going through my gallery,..camera is good at day light but in night the pictures may not be that clear, after all is a 5mp camera only(what more do u want?)....flash is ok,i dont say its great....music quality is gr8...
regarding battery life, i can say that its not that gr8...this is a down side..but its not the phones fault since its using a 1000mah battery thats not sufficient...if u can find any 1500mah then this will be the bestest best phone..
anyways i dont mind charging my phone every alternate day or in heavy use everyday...since its a high end phone...and in the market, no high end phone gives u great battery life...
what ever phone u buy in the high end range , u will face same problems..
nd change ur firmware to the latest one i.e. v10p for faster response...

> In reply to souldarkness @ 2009-11-23 05:02 from u0w}Arena is far better than 5800, just compare the screen resolution, screen sensitivity arena is much ahead..
and ofcourse u can watch Youtube over wifi...and nowadays u can find many applications for arena...
arena doesnt hang or freeze like 5800 nor does it have any screen flickering problem like 5800...
5800 is only good for listning music, its camera is the worst one...in other multimedia features , arena is far ahead...
and even many of my frnds traded their old 5800 for for arena...as arena looks far better in hand than 5800
