LG are set to release a very iPhone-looking phone in the form of the LG Arena KM900. The LG Arena is obviously a touchscreen phone, but what’s most striking is just how similar its interface (“S-class” apparently, whatever that means!) is to the iPhone’s.

It’s not how a phone’s interface looks, though, it’s how intuitive and responsive it is to use that will determine its success. Obviously this is difficult to assess from a screenshot alone, but we shouldn’t have long to wait for the real thing, as it’s rumoured to be on show at MWC 2009 in a couple of weeks.

We do have some news on the specs on the LG Arena though, after the jump.

Details are still, sketchy, but it seems the LG Arena will come with GPS, 5 megapixel camera, DVD-quality video recording, DivX video playback and Wi-Fi. In other words, everything you’d expect from a top-end handset.

So the LG Arena is looking very tasty indeed, and with an expected release date of March 2009, we should be able to see it in the flesh real soon. Let’s just hope it works as well as it looks.
