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.

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!
