Office and games
If a phone has such a shiny and spectacular menu, office features are often minimal. Well, this is not true in the case of LG Arena. The calendar has a beautiful month view, it has a great interface using nice fonts. The week view is even better and there is a daily breakdown as well, wonderful. Four kinds of entries can be stored and there is a separate option for holidays, so this means a total of five, and we can have a total of 500 entries. Events can of course be set to repeat.
The alarm clock is completely new. We can access the countdown timer from the same place, while the alarm clock has two parts, there is a “widget alarm”, which can be configured from the brown panel, and there is the standard alarm, which has every possible configuration option. This includes the ringtone, vibration rhythm and power, displayed text, repeat times and snooze time. In order to set it up, we have to turn the arms of a clock, this has a sunny sky displayed between 6 AM and 6 PM, while outside this interval we can see a starry sky. Of course one could do without such tricks, but the S-Class menu is full of such delicacies and you can see new ideas in every menu, and these don’t affect functionality at all. It’s astonishing, there’s no other word for this.
The calculator has large buttons and supports trigonometric functions. The stopwatch has lap timing, notes do exactly what they have to, while the world clock has a list view, but as we add a new city, we’ll have a nicely designed, rotatable globe. At the sound recorder we can choose between MMS-sized recording or we can record until the memory fills up, in my case this meant 549 hours. Well, yeah, it’s easy to do that, there’s 8 GB of on-board memory… The recorder can be accessed during calls and it stores the voice of both parties.
We’re still not done, as LG Arena can display all kinds of Office documents with Picsel Viewer. This is a cool feature on such a high resolution display and the gyroscope works over here too, but what’s even more is that this is the first place where we can make use of the multitouch feature. We can zoom in and out of documents just like iPhone handles pictures. Even though the animation is not that smooth, it still works fine.
As for games, we have multiple options. First we have the good old Java, and LG Arena also supports Flash Lite applications. Pure Flash content is too much for the phone, but small things run without a problem. Additionally we have the M-Toy menu, which includes three applications that use the gyroscope, none of them are a big deal. Besides the usual dices and the wheel of fortune (as seen on KM500) we also have a ping pong game.
