Wannabe iPhone Killers came, saw buyers who couldn't really afford the Apple phone, but could never really conquer the touch screen market.


Now, there's another player who's apparently taking the big step, it's called 'LG Arena' (K900) which surely looks the part as the Apple iPhone --  Take a look at the image below, even the UI will look familiar to you!


 


Images of the phone first leaked on Danish site called All About Phones.


Would this be the next iPhone Killer?


 Here's what its specifications are believed to entail:


 


- Tri-band GSM/UMTS/HSDPA


- FM Radio


- aGPS


- 1000mAh battery - 300 hours standby, and a talk time just shy of 4 hours


- WiFi


- 5 megapixel camera


- 3 WVGA (800x480) touchscreen


 


LG introduced its moderately priced large screen touch interface phone in the form of LG Cookie sometime back.While the phone excited touch screen enthusiasts, it failed to impress when it comes to features. (Read LG Cookie's review here.)


 


The price and availability of LG Arena is not known as of now. But one can hope it beats the iPhone price-wise for starters, we'll talk about the performance when it makes it to the shelves.

It's not competition to Cookie. This phone is in different segment. It's a 3G phone whereas cookie is just 2.5G. Also i feel the price will not be less than 25K.
