Judging by a leaked 2010 roadmap for LG, future handsets will continue to enjoy the limelight as the LG Stage has been revealed.
A rectangular touch device sharing a lot aesthetically with the popular Arena, the Stage appeared amongst a number of new devices including the LG Wine 2, Wine Junior and Cookie 2.
With the Arena, LG Cookie KP500 and LG Cookie KP501 shipping millions of units each, it comes as no surprise that the Korean manufacturer wishes this touchscreen success to continue in the new year.

Now that this high-end touchphone has been out for a little while, the price of the LG KM900 Arena has gone from being a device purely for the premium owner to something a little more competitive. To find the best from the pick of mobile phone deals, a good place to go is Omio.com.
They have a great comparison table of all the LG Arena deals accross the major networks and retailers, and also have a wide selection of free gift offers and cashback incentives for those eager to make their money go a little further.
The Arena, as with a number of LG phones these days, runs on the S-Class user interface yet is not a smartphone in the traditional sense of offering applications, updates and a level of customisation.
The LG Application Store has launched just recently in the Far East, but the programs available on it are only for Windows Mobile, more of a legitimate smart phone format as opposed to the proprietary platform.
However, with a lot of retailers discounting the handset heavily, you are likely to pick up a bargain on pay monthly, prepat and SIM-free deals alike.

We knew that the S-Class user interface on the Arena was a joy to use, but now the beautiful and intuitive design has been officially recognised, with an iF Communication Design Award.
Winning the Gold in the ‘Product Interfaces’ Category, the S-Class 3D interface was one of only 30 winners from a field of over 1,300.
“Through recognition from this prestigious organization, LG has once again proven its design expertise and innovation not only in physical appearance but also in user interface,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “LG will continue to lead with products that enhance the user experience.”
The S-Class UI is now on a range of LG handsets, including the LG Viewty Smart GC900 and LG GD900 Crystal.

It seems like jumping on a bandwagon works if you’re a company on the scale of South Korean giants LG and Samsung. Apple might have forced the industry to accept that touchscreens were the future, but these two manufacturers certainly took the idea and ran with it.
From the original top sellers like the LG Prada and 6 million selling LG Viewty, up to the present with the bargain LG Cookie, S-Class UI-driven LG Arena and forthcoming LG Viewty Smart, these handsets broke records due to their mass market price points and intuitive user interfaces.
Between LG and onslaught of the Tocco, Omnia and Pixon and recently released Samsung i8910 HD and Samsung Tocco Ultra, the two Korean giants have gone on to sell 20 million touch phones.
It’s worth noting that Apple has sold 13 million iPhones alone, and with a revamp around the corner the pioneers of mass market touch phones are set to stay ahead of the game!
