Abstract: To go along with its see-through appearance, the LG GD900 also sports a razor -thin frame: The phone is just a mere 13.4 mm thick, and with a high-gloss surface it could be a slippery device for pockets to contain. The construction on the LG GD900 was don...

Worlds first transparent keypad sounds like a totally pointless gimmick and if thats all it was, wed be the first to agree. Besides having touch-sensitive buttons, the other feature of the Crystals numeric keypad is the ability to enter character...
