I bought this phone on Sunday, 13rd September 2009:
LG Arena KM900 (Black, $348 with Starhub Student Plan)
I was actually deciding between LG Joy GM730 and Samsung Jet S8000 and ended up buying LG Arena, which I have never considered.
I aways do things like this, considered A and B but in the end buying unknown C.
Haha.
But it's alright, I have only decided to buy a new phone last Monday, so don't really know alot about Samsung Jet and LG Joy.
LG Joy GM730 ($298 with Starhub student plan)
Samsung Jet S8000 ($348 with Starhub Student plan)
At First I have already decided to buy the Samgung Jet as the sales person said that this phone is more reputable than the LG Joy.
Then three of my friends told me that this phone has good functions but is problematic.
In addition, bro told me that his friend said sometimes he can't hear when people called.
So I gave it up and thought of buying the LG Joy.
Again, the sales person advised me to buy Arena instead because both of them are almost the same but the Arena is more popular and is more user-friendly due to I-forgot-what database.
I considered it for almost an hour before putting my cash down.
LOLX.
I would buy without consideration if this purple(They said its PINK) phone is available in Town.
LG Arena KM900 (Pink) (Not available in SG)
Frankly speaking, I didn't really want to buy a new phone initially as my plan is only one year till now, and I would have to pay a penalty of $100 for early upgrading but when I heard Bro buying then I thought of getting one too. Just can't get over the temptation.
Haha.
My sis is aiming for a Blackberry and my bro bought Nokia 5530.
This is the third NEW phone I have in this year OMG.
First, Sony Ericson W595 (18/11/09-03/08/09), then Sony Ericson W910 (04/08/09-13/09/09) and now, LG Arena.*Sinful ~~ * I have also sent my W595 for repairing of the LCD. It costs another $70 plus.--BIG BIG hole in my pocket now. For those who might be interested in this phone, this is a short review:
