LG announced today that its LG ARENA (LG-KM900) multimedia phone has exceeded one million sales worldwide. The ARENA reached the milestone in five months after debuting at the Mobile World Congress 2009 in February. The camera phone is currently being sold in 53 countries across the globe and is seeing intense interest and orders from new carriers in France, Portugal, Romania and other countries.

“We live in an age when mobile phones are tools for entertaining and staying connected to the world. The ARENA was developed to draw on this trend and LG has reached the pinnacle in terms of functionality and user convenience, which has been reflected in consumer uptake,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Considering the swift sales success of the ARENA it is true that real innovation comes from customers, so we will keep going out of our way to gain their insights and reflect their needs in our products.”

The LG ARENA packs Dolby and DivX technologies to provide an outstanding audiovisual experience. Moreover, LG’s 3D S-Class UI, which was unveiled with the ARENA, enables users to navigate and access content easier. The phone picked up a Gold iF Design Communication Award in June for its intuitive and superior 3D S-Class user interface. In August, ARENA was awarded the European Green Mobile Phone 2009-2010 by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) for its sustainable components and packaging
