Can you feel the MWC 2010 fever? We’re about to see lots of phones get either leaked or official in the following weeks so in case you plan to buy a phone these days, you’d better hold your horses for a while. Maybe your next phone is just around the corner and you don’t even know about it.

After we’ve seen the Android 2.1-running HTC Incredible earlier today we now have the LG Arena Max to look at. Also known as the LG LU9400, the new LG creation has been spotted in the wild in Korea. While we have no idea when the phone will actually get launched we can only expect LG to announce it at some point next week during the Mobile World Congress that’s about to start in Barcelona, Spain.

Those of you that liked the original LG Arena will definitely love its successor. The Arena Max will come with a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 5-megapixel camera and a powerful 1GHz Snapdragon processor from Snapdragon.

Will the phone run Android OS? Maybe Windows Mobile? We don’t know any of that, at least for now. The LG Arena Max might end up to be just another featurephone like its predecessor, not that we don’t like those. But featurephones can never compete accordingly against smartphones so we’re really counting on LG to announce some hot smartphones at MWC that could handle Android or Windows Mobile.

LG didn’t release any official confirmation of this device yet, and from the looks of the leaked picture we only know that the Arena Max will be heading to Korea at some point in the near future. That doesn’t mean that other markets will not receive it too later this year so we expect to see the Arena Max in its official suit at MWC 2010.

What do you say Arena owners, will you upgrade to the Arena Max or are you going to move something entirely different?
