LG GT950 Arena - User Reviews

  • really BAD device. There were 3 devices that in my hands, and aaaaall of them somehow they developed the same problem: Totally misaligned touch presses. calibration didnt help. after 4months all the devices had teh same problem

  • My gf had this phone while I had the Arena haha she hated this phone so bad! It was the Arena minus all the cool features and a lot more sluggish. Constant crashing. Horrid phone not worth the price or worth the monthly AT&T payments haha

  • does lg arena gt950. support whatsapp

  • This is the worst cellphone I have ever had. I began looking for a replacement after a couple of months. This is the version that was re-made but the remake crippled it and its missing all of the features of the KM900. The specs on this page are incorrect. It does NOT have Wi-Fi like the KM900, nor does it have 8gb memory, nor does it have full access to the internet(anything with flash on it will not load and there is no way to get flash for this phone), nor does it have the 3.5 or 2.5mm headphone jack, only a micro-usb port. LG's website does not even support the GT950, only the KM900 and every other place I've been for help or accessories thinks that the KM900 and GT950 are interchangeable because of incorrect information. I got this phone to go on the net( but it won't fully load most sites and gets no flash), to use as MP3 player (but there are no compatible earphones for micro-usb on this LG motorola micro usb headphones don't work), and for the Wi-Fi (not available for this version) so it's worthless since it barely gets a signal. I got the specs from this site and others and they are incorrect!

  • There is NO built in WI-FI for the LG Arena GT950. There is for the LG Arena KM900

  • this telephone is a very funn because i can use my mail ..

  • this is a piece of crap.. phone

  • There is a built-in Wifi in LG ARENA so Please check the information on this website with has to be corrected thanks

  • Is this a better phone than the km900?

  • u seems like a Nokia agent plz don't fool people...hanging problem is in Nokia's phone(OS: Symbian) and not LG...I'am using LG phones for last four years. my first phone was super cool LG KU990 "viewty"...and now i'am using this phone for last three months without any problem....cheerrrrsss to LG

  • Guys this phone starts haning after 20 mintues of usage and it starts heating up like anything in your pocket after every 30 minutes....you can have a hot cofee over this phone as it is as good as a GAS...!

  • this is a really bad and cheap quality mobile i have ever used and the worst part is LG customer care is least bothered about your problem after selling the handset to the customer...now i do have Nokia X6 and i am happy...!please dont buy this phone if you need please go only for nokia phones..

  • camera have led light?

  • The old model is better!!!!!! and most cases more expensive - just a little: Reasons: - Wifi - 8GB internal memory! - (and a little thinner :)))) LG forgot to update this phone! IT was the best in 2009!!!!! Now LG loosing to Samsung! But, for 150-200 USD the old model still okay. Galaxy is 600-700USD. SE sucks! Motorola still sleeping after the great Razor! Huge profit was for them. The whole phone market is slow, the reluctant to release great phones.

  • Good phone..... Looks awesome

  • what the difrent, with KM9500 ARENA, and i thing its to much expensive for this phone LG GT 950 ARENA, than BLACKBERRY STORM 2.

  • Mostly we will have have but GOD it gonna suck, my mom have KM900 & it's wifi wont connect to my AP nor through ad-hoc

  • no u will not get wlan or wifi

  • Good Mobile.

  • this phone have a wifi or non

  • RAM means Random-Access-Memory. ROM means Read-Only-Memory and CPU means Central-Processing-Unit

  • Will this thing download movies? If so, how well does it?

  • LG Arena (KM900) has 1Gbit of RAM, that's roughly 128 MiB not 8 MB.

  • this is a pretty good phone. I have a frend who just bought one and told that he is so happy with it. the sound is clear and loud for it's dolby effect so for those who are a music seeker this is the best phone for you. Secondly, the camera is clear having 3.15 megapixel.

  • km900 is pretty good, dont know about the gt950 though, small and thin enough to put just about anywhere, price is cheap now, got mind when first came out.

  • by charging your phone 10 hours, you are actually shortening the life of the battery. thus you are going to have shorter usage per charge. charge what is only required and you will get the best of the life of the battery.

  • guys, im planning to buy my very first touchscreen phone on my birthday. can you please help me by letting me know the pros and cons of KM900 ARENA? thanks a lot guys,

  • theres no wlan,is there any phone that is all-in-one device,12mp cam,wln,tv,beam(like samsung beam) thats the one i like.

  • how many hours or talk time Ru getting it if you charge your phone for 10 hours continuously? because for me i am hardly getting 2 hours of talk time....but i have never tried your method of charging it for 10 hours. please advice

  • I have had this phone for 2 months and I am on my 3rd phone. The touch screen on this phone is completely garbage. You can't calibrate it, adjust sensitivity, or use a stylus. The phone's OS is so poorly designed! You can't puch the call button while in the 'tasks' menu. If you get the crappy phone to send a text, it will take you to the 'tasks' menu. Why on God's earth would I want to go there? If you attach a BT headset, it will unlock the phone. If it's in your pocket it will start sending texts or making calls. As most people know, it is on par for the ATT and LG phone lineup.

  • I have this phone and it is really good.Great camera and is easy to connect with a PC

  • charge your phone for 10 hours and ignore the message phone is fully charge, it worked for me ;-)

  • either you have a problem with your batery or ur just giving to much of a intense use to your phone, mine last 3 days on 1 charge, sms mostly and a few calls music and some photos.

  • i ever use LG Arena, bcoz of its quality on its screen is very high, it run out the battery very fast.. 1000mAH is not enough for this kind of phone.. reconsider before u buy.. i must charge it twice a day..

  • This phone can work anywhere in the world were there is cellular coverage. It is a quadband phone. Its data network, however, operates only on the US 3g network ATT.

  • Hi.I'm from mexico, I'd like to know if the information you posted is the same for the models sold in my country?

  • Please note, this phone is NOT the LG KM900 Arena. This phone is GT950 Arena. This phone is the U.S. Version.

  • I use this phone for almost 1 year and I experienced many problems. Especially with the touch screen which is not responding correctly anymore. I have problems writing my PIN so imagine how terrible is this phone. I'm not going to trust LG again....

  • this phones 3g telme

  • this phones is 3g phone

  • I work for LG electronics, this phone is the American version of the KM900. In the US we base our phone specs and features bases on what the Service providers request from us since they are the one that buy the phones from LG. Yes as a few downgrades but this is how we where requested to build the phone.

  • thats stupid. probably ur a careless phone user. thats why you complain its unreliable.

  • What's wrong with LG, you asked? They keep turning out crappy unreliable phones, that's what....

  • what;s wrong with LG. . .T_T

  • this phone is worse than the previous Arena. i guess this phone is designed only for US customers with higher price. if you check now, old arena is 200EUR and this one is 320EUR. wtf.....

  • Owh~ no WLAN, come on... :(

  • I thought this is an upgrade of KM900 Arena, but I was very wrong, it's a downgrade. What are you thinking LG people, are you out of your minds???

  • hey, I hsve the old lg arena, its a nice phone. all now i dont see anyone witha phone like this in jamaica, its a very nice phone, but lg, you need to go straight and upgrade.

  • 200Mhz Cpu 8Mb Ram shares with Gpu this are the specs for the europe km900 i think this would be the same

  • this phone is worse than the previous Arena. i guess this phone is designed only for US customers with higher price. if you check now, old arena is 200EUR and this one is 320EUR. wtf.....

  • lg is not that good

  • are you seriously going to 'go with' an Arena? Are you nuts? Worst phone i have ever owned. Do some more looking.. or buy mine.

  • does anyone know what the ram, rom, and cpu are supposed to be?

  • Umm, sadly this phone doesn't have wifi ): The LG KM900 has it. So Im gonna go with the KM900 ARENA

  • I wish it was always that fast really!

  • Yeh exept the better built qualitiy the 1Ghz cpu the gpu the ram the camera the storage the os uhm yeh and the support by htc uhm unless this of course this phone can beat the nexus with 200mhz 8mb ram and practically no internal storage the crappy os which is proprietairy and and and and and and

  • bueno

  • you are wrong buddy. HTC phones are nice but LG's touchscreen is very close to IPHONE which means its touch is way better than HTC. but that doesn't mean HTC sucks. lets say so far, NEXUS is the best production of HTC, which has 16M-color capacitive AMOLED touchscreen of WVGA (480x 800 pixel) resolution. besides LG ARENA got the same except AMOLED. & much more cheaper than HTC NEXUS. so if you are talking about touchscreen than i would say LG touchscreen isnt bad. its way better than HTC.

  • 1000 mAh for this Phone! LG, how many times we have to tell to put at least 1250 to 1500 mAh in arena! Battery life suckssssssss!

  • unbelievable, almost same specs as km900. Only diffs is this phone is missing Wifi & Video Call. Not to mention higher price. What were they thinking?!

  • Tottaly waste of money. Compare it with LG KM900 Arena. Oldest model was better than this monkeybutt. :D

  • r u blind or jst dum? or didnt u do 1st grade and now u cant read?

  • Dear Gsmarena, Please correct the Specs on this. It has no Wi-fi and since it's at&t, of course no front camera. Oh, it freezes a lot.

  • Why so much hate for this phone? For a non-smartphone it looks great, and with a little bit of poking on the net can be found for free.

  • Just what the market needs.. Another LG Arena.. Isn't one enough? In fact, its already one too many.

  • Just to comment that this phone already appears in the list of DivX certified phones, so I think it not a rumor anymore. Bye and thanks for this great site

  • the arena ist just a great phone. the display and the touch-screen is at least as good as an i3G. the dimensions are great, so it fits easily in pockets - just look at the arena specs. the phone is completely in metal and glass - not these cheap HTC plastic. the touch-screen is perfect. the image quality of the cam is way better than ANY motorola, not just the milestone. if LG would just port ANDROID on it would be the perfect phone. if you want a telephone and not a netbook, this is the perfect casing. i was close to exchange it to a milestone(was using it for 2 weeks, but i don't want to carry such a big device - so i went back. go for an iPod if you want this app-stores. both together are even cheaper than an nexus1. :-)

  • OMG my terrible spelling made me look like a fool :(

  • You face looks like the old arena....jokes jokes :P

  • it looks exactly like the old arena..

  • If this phone does not work on Windows Mobile or other at least Symbian platform then it's not worth it!

  • Is At&t finally releasing a phone with front camera and HSDPA 3g? Must be close to 2012

  • lg gt950 for at&t company only?

  • This phone actually looks ugly... The screen is to small and it looks like its going to be thick. Not so good specification... The only company who makes really cool and good touchscreen phones is HTC. The Google Nexus One that HTC made looks awesome. LG... You suck at touchscreen xD

  • No integrated memory as I see... Another shitty US only version... They could add 8 Mpix camera at least! Damn!

  • wohoo first. any difference to the lg arena?
