savramesh 37 Report post Posted June 18, 2009 Techtree News Staff, Jun 17, 2009 1923 hrs IST Features an 8 megapixel camera The touchscreen slider phone sports a 3 - inch 16 M color TFT screen and features an 8 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash and D1 video recording at 30 fps, QVGA time-lapse and slow-mo video recording. Crystal has 1.5GB of internal memory, GPRS EDGE class 12 and Wi-Fi for connectivity. It measures 105 x 52.5 x 13.5 mm, and weighs 127 g. Explaining the touchpad, the company says that the phone's slide-down Crystal Touchpad first appears to just be an alphanumeric keypad, but it actually doubles as a touchpad for controlling the phone. Further, it can be used like the trackpad on a laptop computer. It also recognizes handwriting, responds to multi-touch commands and enables a new way of navigation called Gesture Command, another first from the company. Slide open, the Crystal Touchpad is completely transparent and illuminated with a soft glow. LG says that it is made of highly durable tempered glass and is framed and reinforced by a band of Liquidmetal, a composite alloy that is ultra-strong and able to absorb shock and vibration. For multitasking, there's a multitasking button and draw one of 12 easy symbols on the keypad. Users can assign these symbols to any of the phone's nine multitasking-enabled features. The LG-GD900 Crystal will be available in Chrome and Titan color choices. It is expected to hit shelves in June in select countries in Asia and Europe and will then debut in other countries across the globe. As soon as the India prices and availability are announced, you'll know it first on Techtree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

santhoshavanoor 7 Report post Posted June 20, 2009 You are right Ramesh, Dual touch means the screen can recognize two senses at a time. We can zoom pictures by using our two fingers, and dual touch is very useful to play games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savramesh 37 Report post Posted July 14, 2009 Review: LG Crystal Team Gadget Guru, July 13, 2009, New Delhi This transparent, slide-out keypad is no gimmick. It is a true extension of a touch screen phone created by LG. LG has christened it 'Crystal'. LG Crystal (LG-GD900) is a unique concept. It is a premium phone with a slithering glass swagger about it. The see-through tempered glass is a keypad with a cool glow to be visible in any light condition. It is made of highly durable tempered glass and is framed and reinforced by a band of liquid-metal, a composite alloy that is ultra-strong and able to absorb shock and vibration. It is sleek, slender and has seamlessly placed volume and camera button on the sides. But LG Crystal is not just a pretty face. Not only does it dish up the digits, the keypad also transforms itself into a laptop style mouse pad that offers easy phone browsing and navigation. With the first of its kind shortcut method, this glow-transparent-pad can create magic. Just drag your finger to write an alphabetic letter, maybe an 'M' on the keypad, and watch the music menu come alive on the screen. Once you've reached your favourite song, you can savour it in the best audio quality. LG Crystal gives you Dolby surround sound and more options to hear your song. Crystal uses LG's signature S-Class user interface. It has a 3D cube style menu that is always a pleasure to navigate. The menu can also be viewed in a simple format. It is laid in four categories for easy access. Contacts and music widgets can be viewed in a pretty reel format. It is no less than a smart phone. Crystal offers quick shortcut features for emails like copy and paste, you can do that with messages and notepad. Viewing online pages is a breeze with the keypad gesture control and easy zoom in and out options. There is handwriting recognition as well. Multimedia features are aplenty. LG Crystal has a 8 mega pixel snapper, video record with various light controling and speed controling options. There is Google Maps, YouTube and FM player. Fun features are quite different from other phones in the games section. There are motion sensing games and the bubble game. Blow wind on the phone to activate the bubbles. Even a simple feature like calender and organiser, that one uses daily, is given a new design. Date, time and memo format look smart and fun to use. All in all this Crystal will creat magic in the mobile market in India when it launches in August. We reckon it will be priced around Rs 30,000. LG Crystal has: * Transparent touch pad * Gesture command on touch pad * 3D S-Class user interface * LCD touch screen * 8 megapixel camera Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vikasmahajanz 33 Report post Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Tranparent Mobile phone from LG The LG GD900 is a newly announced 13.4-mm thick slider that features 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity. What truly makes it special phone however is its transparent keypad that softly glows once it's slid open. This is definitely one of the more uniquely designed phones we've seen so far at the Mobile World Congress this year, and we're certainly hoping that its specs will be up to par with its stellar design. It'll also ship with an equally stylish Bluetooth headset, but apart from these details, we're pretty much left in the dark with the GD900 (no pun intended). The first ever transparent mobile phone from LG is appropriately named : Crystal ! GD 900 is totally transparent and made by scratch-resistant design. This is touch screen phone with 7.62cm full function touch screen display. Other features are as follows : Internal Memory – 1.5GB External : 16GB Wi-Fi Dolby Mobile enhanced sound Media player DVD resolution recording 8 mega pixel auto-focus camera LG Crystal price : LG GD900 is available in India for Rs 86,000 only.
