LG GD900
The GD900, which LG debuted at the GSMA World Congress, is billed as the world’s first phone with a transparent design handset. Not everything on the slider handset is transparent (the mechanical components are the old-fashioned opaque variety) but the rear slider is translucent and the keypad gives off a glittering show. LG promises a Bluetooth headset is in the works which will match the clear design of the phone itself.
Technical details about the GD900 were sparse at the show, but LG promises it will bring out the specs for review later this year. In the meantime, the GD900 has a futuristic look that is bound to win some devotees early on. As more and more cell phone manufacturers compete to include new applications and electronic features, style and simplicity in the user interface tend to get overlooked. Often it is the simple but beautiful item that wins out in the end. Expect the LG GD900 clear handset phone to show up in stores sometime in the third quarter of 2009.

The coolest phone ever! I just got 1, and i just love it! The features are great, the interface is amazing. And it’s fast, too. The transparent keypad also works like a mouse when browsing. I could go on and on all day about the things this phone can do.
I wasn’t a big fan of LG before, but this one definitely sealed the deal. For sure, the other companies will be clamoring to do something to beat this one. Great job, LG!
does it have built-in flash for camera?
New LG GD900 comes with transparent Crystal Touchpad. It allows you to glide, stroke and navigate with ease. Surfing the internet is effortless with high–speed browsing and it’s simple to edit photos taken with the 8 megapixel camera.
