LG GD900 Crystal review: Crystal clear

 

When talking about good design it's usually all about placing the right elements in the right places. And in the rare cases when an R&D team actually comes up with something innovative, they usually reserve it for a 2000 buck handset like the Motorola...

And luckily the sleek handset is much more than a pretty face. The rich feature set of the GD900 Crystal places it only a short step away from LG's multimedia flagships. However the lack of GPS is easily made up for with cool features like gesture...

LG Crystal GD900 Review

 

We are introducing the LG Crystal GD900 to you – the first handset equipped with a transparent keyboard or, rather, a translucent touch-sensitive keypad. Is it an eccentric product of today´s modern design, a high-tech tech cell phone or the daintiest...

LG Crystal GD900

 

We love the clear touchpad, both for its good looks and intuitive gestures, and we think the Crystal makes a good mobile phone. Shame its camera is a stinker.

Funky clear touchpad, Intuitive gesture control, Superb display, Decent battery life

8MP camera takes terrible photos, Web browser and media player could use refinement, No 3.5mm headphone socket on the phone

LG Crystal GD900 Review

 

Using the touchpad takes some time to get used to mainly because there's not physical buttons to push but the feedback mechanism is okay. The cool thing about the touch keypad is that you can use it as a trackpad (with multi-touch!) to navigate between...

Review Of The LG Crystal GD900 Cell Phone

 

The crystal touchpad supports many astounding features like multitouch and gesture control. Thanks to the brilliant sensitivity of the touchpad even the handwriting recognition feature works well as compared to its counterparts. The S-CLASS 3D...

Insane transparent touchpad, good voice clarity, luxurious and dainty appearance, high sound quality, S-CLASS 3D interface

Bad camera quality,Limited DivX/Xvid playback features,The S-CLASS 3D interface is sluggish when opening certain menus

: I got the answer to the question I framed  in the introduction. This one definitely stands out of the three and is the best amongst them. The fantabulous design adds a lot to its weight. The pretty face has a lot of brilliant features behind it. LG...

in April. LG have taken their time telling us the full specifications of the Crystal, presumably because they know that they can get more press coverage that way

LG GD900 video reveals it all

 

There isn't half as much excitement in reading a review of a gadget as there is in viewing the video. That's what should be learnt from this fascinating grab of the LG GD900 at CTIA. The transparent keypad is definitely the highlight of the phone. It...

LG Crystal (GD900) mobile phone

 

LG's latest Crystal mobile phone features a transparent keypad.

Transparent keypad that doubles as a gesture touchpad, Wi-Fi, responsive touch screen

No GPS, no 3.5mm headphone jack, all plastic build, poor camera performance, sluggish user interface

LG's Crystal (GD900) impresses largely thanks to its unique, transparent keypad that doubles as a touch pad. Ultimately though, it suffers from the lack of features often associated with stylish fashion phones. As a basic "dumb phone" you'll be...

LG Crystal GD900

 

It's clear why the LG Crystal GD900 isn't your average phone, but what's it like to use?

LG GD900 Crystal review

 

Is the first transparent phone clearly just a gimmick?

Cool trackpad ; Improved texting accuracy ; Great video recording ; Well-built chassis

Poor camera ; Unpredictable touchscreen ; No GPS ; High price point ; Touch sensitive buttons are too sensitive

Overall, a novel handset, but we're not sure that it's one that will capture the hearts of the phone-buying public in the face of other, cheaper, feature phones
