LG Launches GD900 Crystal

LG has launched the LG-GD900 Crystal, with a transparent, smart keypad. The LG-GD900 Crystal’s slide-down Crystal Touchpad first appears to just be an alphanumeric keypad, also it doubles as a touchpad for controlling the phone. It can be used like the trackpad on a laptop computer but also recognizes handwriting, responds to multi-touch commands and enables a new way of navigation called Gesture Command.

The Crystal Touchpad is completely transparent and illuminated with a soft glow. This scratch resistant design is made from tempered glass and reinforced by a band of liquid metal ensuring extended use. To launch a feature on the LG-GD900Crystal , one has to press the phone’s multitasking button and draw one of the 12 symbols on the keypad. Users can assign these symbols to any of the phone’s nine multitasking-enabled features.

An 8 megapixel AF camera and MP3 player round out the phone’s main features. It also packs in Wi-Fi, 3G, 3-inch WVGA full touch screen, Dolby Mobile enhanced sound and DVD resolution video recording amidst other key features. The handset has an internal memory of 1.5 GB and is expandable upto 16 GB.

“We wanted to give our consumers a super luxury experience and therefore, developed a handset that touts a gorgeous sliding keypad - the LG GD900 Crystal. The phone’s transparent touchpad feature adds to the personality of our consumers and gives gizmo geeks a wonderful reason to possess it. Not only this, we have made a creative use of hardware through Gesture Command that provides control via simple, on-screen finger movements. We are positive that our new handset will become a winning model of the year,” says Anil Arora, Business Group Marketing Head, Mobile Communications, LGEIL.

Priced at Rs. 26,000, the phone is available in Chrome and Titan color choices at all retail outlets across the country.
