Abstract: LG is making strides with their phone design. With each new model they make improvements to both functionality and aesthetics. The Crystal is primarily a design change over the Viewty and Renoir but essentially the functionality is the same. However, ...
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 impres...
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
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....

Beautiful Design, Good Looking Screen, Very Good Music Playback
Expensive, Poor Camera, No GPS
The LG GD900 Crystal is priced at Rs. 25,200 and honestly that price-tag does not justify the bad camera and the lack of GPS. For a phone that is clearly targeted at users looking for an all-purpose premium product, LG should have ensured that the cam...
Good audio, Easily reads DivX and XviD videos, Good battery life (without camera use), Brilliant design concept, Well priced, Good camera
FM reception was bad, Battery drains quickly when camera is activated, No GPS, Very quirky and slow UI
ConnectivityThe handset is well covered for connectivity. It’s 3G ready and can support HSDPA speeds up to 7.2Mbps. Regular users will have to suffice with EDGE and GPRS or even Wi-Fi for internet connectivity or for downloading emails (POP or IMAP)...
Stylish design; solid build quality despite plastic materials; generous 1.5GB onboard memory with additional microSD card slot; wireless features include Wi-Fi, HSDPA and Bluetooth stereo.
Fingerprint magnet; occasional clumsy interface; Web browsing experience could be better; lacks built-in GPS and a 3.5mm audio jack; poor picture quality.
Abstract: The LG Crystal is the first device that feels like its from the future. At heart it is the same as the LG Arena and Viewty Smart, but sliding it up reveals something far more impressive. The transparent glass sensor keyboard is something genuinely ne...
