AT&T Discontinues LG Arena After Two Months on Sale

Humberto Saabedra

LG has confirmed that once AT&T sells through its current stock of the LG Arena high-end touch screen featurephone with the manufacturer’s S-Class user interface, the carrier will not ship anymore units for sale, effectively discontinuing the device.

This is despite being recently launched last February after months of speculation which began last year. The device was also heavily featured during the last NCAA March Madness tournament in TV ads for AT&T, on account of its built-in support for AT&T Mobile TV, powered by Qualcomm’s MediaFLO.
