We are introducing the LG Crystal GD900 to you – the first handset equipped with a transparent keyboard or, rather, a translucent touch-sensitive keypad. Is it an eccentric product of today´s modern design, a high-tech tech cell phone or the daintiest model of 2009? Let´s find out.

LG's look nice, but the times I bought one for myself or a family member, I've always regretted it. The battery information is incorrect, phone's restart automatically (feature phones, not smarts) certain features on the phone stop working. With the gsm chocolate I would receive ghost text messages. My friend had the same problem with her env2. With another att lg phone text messaging just stopped working all together. And there's only one person out of the 5 I know who has a LG vu that didn't have a problem with it. Either the screen stopped working and wouldn't register presses, or the battery would ass out, or something else. LG's just always leave a bad taste in my mouth, so no matter how tempted I get by their cool features or designs, I just have to remember that they always manage to take a crap on anything good that they make. Also, the fact that they manufactured a 8mp camera phone that has BAD photo quality is a testament to how shitty of a cell phone manufacturer LG is.

My experience with LG has been the opposite, they have proven to be the most reliable and innovative regular and feature phones ive ever used. I always reccomend that brand to friends and family. Maybe you just had some bad luck?

Os is not well documented, sdk is crap, LG like before is the king to make closed os phones... i had a Renoir and it was not so good as all tests i saw on the web. So be carefull when you buy LG you will be in a closed world..

From what i have read on the web and what i know this phone has a FM TRANSMITTER in the option screen when playing a song please can you confirm that. I have also seen it in a video i think it was your preview video or maybe GSMARENA.com gd900 preview video also a source providing pictures of the fm transmitterhttp://www.knowyourmobile.com/lg/lggd900crystal/lgcrystaluserguides/274505/how_to_use_the_fm_transm itter_on_the_lg_crystal_gd900.html

Hello, Unfortunately, the LG Crystal does not feature an FM Transmitter. The images provided by knowyourmobile.com are of the LG ARENA, which indeed sports one, but the Crystal does not.

Just had it and found its quite good. Only con part is super sensitive as accidently touching it will revert u to shortcut menu. For camera its bad if you put on auto setting. However with ISO adjustment and EV and all setting. It is a capable shooter. But really auto suck like no one else ^^ .
