The LG GD900 Crystal is coming to a Carphone Warehouse near you. The phone, which features a unique see-through keypad will be out in July.
The LG GD900 Crystal has one obvious selling point – you can see through it. Well, the keyboard bit, anyway. Sliding out from beneath the screen of this slimline mobile is what looks like a slab of engraved plexiglass, but is in fact a working numeric keypad.
The keypad isn’t just a transparent gimmick, though – it is in fact TWO transparent gimmicks. As well as number and dialling keys the pad can also be used as a simple trackpad for use with the built in web browser. The pad also supports handwriting recognition for entering text.
Carphone Warehouse was so impressed with the LG GD900 Crystal that it acquired exclusive rights to offer it on contract and PAYG in the UK. No pricing details have been released as yet, other than to say that the LG GD900 Crystal will be free on contract.
