It’s not completely transparent of course, the numbers are displayed as grey etchings, which light up when the keypad is touched. And it’s not just a keypad either, since it also doubles as a multi-function trackpad.
Also on board is a 3in touch screen, 8Mp Camera, HSDPA 3G (7.2Mbps), quad-band GSM, Wi-Fi, the Symbian S60 operating system and LG’s very cool S-Class user interface. So it’s clearly more than just a pretty keypad.
The LG GD900 Crystal isn’t the slimmest or lightest slider at 105 x 53 x 14mm and 120g but it’s perfectly pocketable, nonetheless.
