We know that the phone market is getting tough and that to cut through you have to have a product that is seen to be up to scratch. But a transparent phone? Well LG is banking on a new LG GD900 Crystal mobile phone aka the first transparent phone to deliver them the results they are looking for.
Dubbed the first transparent phone to be launched in Australia the LG GD900 is 13.5 mm thick and weighs in at 120 and will sell for $899.

It has an 8 megapixel autofocus camera that displays photos on a high resolution 3.5 inch WVGA LCD touch screen and with the auto-rotating display, photos look great every time. The handset also has a MP3 player and can hold up to 32GB of music, photos or data using the expandable memory card slot. The LG GD900 Crystal is Wi-Fi enabled allowing user to connect to the internet via wireless hotspots and it also supports Bluetooth 2.1 for secure, high-speed connectivity to other devices.
The crystal clear keypad also doubles up as a second touch screen interface. This allows you to swiftly swipe through the home screen by acting like a mouse pad for web browsing as well making use of the handwriting recognition and gesture shortcuts.
The LG Crystal uses the same gold winning 3D S-Class interface, as seen on the LG Arena. This features a spinning cube interface allowing you to flick around on the screen with each face on the cube consisting of an aspect of the menu e.g. contacts.
The GD900’s browser does a good job of displaying complex pages and offers a speedy download and is even faster when near a Wi Fi hotspot, however one of the frustrating things about the Crystal is that there is no GPS.
