Today, as the first operator in the world, TeliaSonera launches 4G services commercially to customers in Stockholm, Sweden and Oslo, Norway.
"We are very proud to be the first operator in the world to offer our customers 4G services. The use of mobile broadband in the Nordic countries is exploding and customers need higher speeds and capacity. This is why we launch 4G services in both Stockholm and Oslo," says Kenneth Karlberg, President and Head of Mobility Services.

4G/LTE will open up new possibilities for customers to use and enjoy services on their laptops, requiring high transmission speed and capacity, such as advanced web TV broadcasting, extensive online gaming and web conferences.

"Being first out with new technology gives us unique experience that we can use on all our markets. We will continue the roll-out to offer our customers new communication services for the future," continues Kenneth Karlberg.

The two pioneering 4G city networks cover the central city areas of Stockholm and Oslo and will be used for mobile data. 4G is the fastest mobile technology available on the market, with speeds up to ten times higher than today's turbo 3G.

TeliaSonera has three nation wide 4G/LTE licenses; in Sweden, Norway and also recently in Finland. The network roll out is in progress to offer 4G to Sweden's and Norway's largest cities.

The Stockholm 4G city network is supplied by Ericsson. The Oslo 4G city network is supplied by Huawei. The modems at launch come from Samsung. Evaluation of suppliers for TeliaSonera's common 4G core network and radio networks in the Nordic and Baltic countries is in progress and vendors will be selected in the beginning of 2010.

REview Mobile Phone - LG ARENA KM-900

LG is one of the most forward-looking mobile on the market today. Never a company to stay at the bottom, have always been willing to take risks, the biggest and best phone out there year after year of design. This means that they offer again this year, the LG KM900 done arena. Touted as a successor to the LG Viewty, this phone has a lot to live, but to hit the mark?

Before we look at whether the great advantage of 3D interface that lives up to the hype, we should look at the outer casing. The LG KM900 Arena is one of the applications very smooth and sophisticated mobile phone. With clean lines, slim line design and a fabulous color, is certainly attractive for business and personal sides of the spectrum. Is actually a titanium silver casing, with a black border to the beauty on the screen to highlight it. Measuring 3 inches wide with a resolution of 480x800 pixels, is truly amazing, and you will be blown by the quality.


Regarding the list of features, it seems that the LG KM900 Arena must be satisfied in any base. With a built in memory of 8GB, there are more than enough space for everything you want to save. You can also add to that more with a microSD card if you wish. The touch screen is incredibly sensitive and easy to use, the connectivity options are excellent, and the Wi-Fi is much more reliable than one would find on most other phones. The reliability of the phone is generally excellent, but you might want to know a little 'properties.

The LG KM900 Arena is a music player and a camera. The music player supports most file formats and has some absolutely wonderful touches. For example, the 3.5mm jack on the top of the phone so that you can enjoy fabulous quality music headphones, without snagging on the bag all the time. Dolby Mobile is responsible for the excellent sound quality, but it's possible your music through the FM transmitter, and actions. The camera does not, on the other side is as powerful as one might expect from LG Mobile. However, we want to 5MP still pictures very good and comes complete with LED flash, autofocus and face recognition, among other features. As such it is highly functional and perfect for the user to take pictures, how and when the mood you love.

However, the LG KM900 Arena a big mistake for the excellence of all who is above and unfortunately happens to be the main selling point, the LG has decided to focus - the 3D interface. Logic tells us that 3D images is impossible on a flat screen, but LG seems to be wishful thinking to believe otherwise. This is not the mobile version of the HD so as not enthusiastic, because bitterly disappointed if you're doing.

Provided you do not buy into hype 3D, you'll be very pleased with the LG KM900 Arena to be satisfied. This is a fantastic laptop, which really push the bar. LG is in reality a call for bigger and better mobile phones and the LG KM900 fits perfectly in the arena!
