"The direct, intuitive and dynamic S-Class UI will be unlike anything that has appeared on a mobile phone before," said Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile. "With rich 3D graphics, touch sensitivity and exciting multimedia capabilities, it will truly make Arena a fully loaded multimedia phone."
