Lets face it, the outer look or design of a cellphone can no longer get any more special. Perhaps adding a little transparency to the design of a cellphone will make it more special and outstanding in the crowd. That’s what LG has made for its new phone, LG-GD900.The LG-GD900 was shown at the WMC 2009 as well, which is a crystal-like phone that you can see through. This phone’s keypad is translucent, and it has a polished silver body. When the keypad slides open, the phone will light up in a cool glow in a reflective and refractive way. Apparently, the LG-GD900 transparent phone is the next move of LG, hoping to add little revolutionizing tech to the mobile phone industry, after the 3G watch phone.
The LG-GD900 transparent phone can be expected to arrive in the 2nd quarter of 2009. 
No much information about this phone has been disclosed yet. And the only thing that is sure is it supports Bluetooth connectivity and most likely it’ll come with a Bluehtooth headset. The phone is 13.4 mm in thickness and it also supports the HSDPA 7.2Mbps connectivity.
The unique transparent keypad doubles as a touchpad and the handset will also support multi-touch. It also become clear that the keypad is made of glass, rather than plastic.
The LG GD900 Crystal will run the LG's S-Class UI with a lot of touch related goodies. The handset will feature multi-touch input as well as gesture support. This means that features like the two-finger zoom we saw on the Arena will be available for the Crystal users too.
There will also be some new staff on the LG Crystal. For example writing an 'M' would launch the MP3 player and drawing a circle controls the volume.
We are also more than pleased to know that the GD900 will have haptic feedback. The LG GD900 also has handwriting recognition, which isn't too frequent on phones with capacitive screens.
Some improvement is done in the web browsing department too. The GD900 will offer 'mouse mode' for a more convenient browsing experience. This means that you will be able to control a virtual mouse with your touch keypad, much like you would do on a laptop.
The LG GD900 Crystal will hit the European and Asian shelves in May but its pricing is yet unknown.
