The LG GD900 Crystal is the latest masterpiece to hit the markets. In a rather innovative and eye-catching design, the GD900 comes in a sleek silver casing, but its slide-out keypad is transparent.

The touch sensitive keypad illuminates when it is initially slid out, although the glow does dim after a short period. Created from colourless glass, the keypad is highly responsive and is an efficient input addition to the touchscreen.

The device has a 3”inch touchscreen, and is compact enough measuring 105mm long, 52.5mm wide and 13.5mm deep, but weighs 127 g. It supports 1.5GB of memory, which is expandable by up to 16GB through the use of a microSD card.

Aside from the coolness factor of being transparent, the LG GD900 Crystal comes complete with a range of user-friendly features and the latest technology. It has an amazing 8 megapixel autofocus camera at the back of the phone. An LED flash enables the user to take photos in lowlight environments. It also supports video recording, as well as 3G video calling through the use of a second camera.

The GD900 has a built-in music player as well as an FM radio, both of which emit music quality of a very high standard.

Unsurprisingly, the Crystal comes complete with WiFi technology and Bluetooth. The document viewer feature allows the user to view Word, Excel and PDF files.

For those users who are after a unique-looking phone, with a host of functions, this is a superb choice.
