LG’s Crystal gd900 is a good example of the company’s innovativeness in phone design, with its key feature being the first transparent keypad on the market. It combines a touch-screen interface and a surprising touch-sensitive slide-down numeric keypad. It also has a polished silver casing and exudes an elegant overall appeal. Without doubt, this is a phenomenon in mobile phone design.
Apart from its unique features, this phone also boasts a high-resolution screen, with 800 x 480 pixels and a profusion of colours for an improved viewing experience. You can rotate the screen, according to the orientation you prefer and the S class interface is included, which makes it an especially user-friendly device, due to its bright, colourful icons and easy access to other phones that also use the S class interface.
The LG Crystal has a handwriting recognition device and 3G technology and also features touch-screen controls to aid the process. Its memory can handle a basic 1.5GB, but can be easily expanded for additional storage by using a MicroSD card, which can store up to 32GB. Connectivity includes Bluetooth 2.1, USB, Wi-Fi and TV-Out.
There is no doubt that the LG Crystal gd900 is an extremely fashionable phone, which also scores highly in the novelty department. On the downside, however, some reviews have expressed a sense of disappointment, because of its remarkably high price and lack of GPS, a feature that is considered to be one of the essentials in today’s world of mobile phones.
