LG Arena Coming In March

If you’re looking for an iPhone clone with the potential of actually being usable, the LG Arena looks like it might actually deliver a decent experience. And according to the press release LG Australia just sent out, it will deliver that experience as soon as next month.

LG will announce more specifics about ARENA and its features along with some surprises during a press conference at the Mobile World Congress. LG Mobile Australia will launch ARENA and provide further information to local media in March 2009.

Hopefully they give us more information before they launch the phone, but either way a March 2009 launch is a much better outcome for Australia than we typically receive from most companies. We’ll keep you posted when we hear any more…
