LG brings in the World's first transparent design handset with new Gesture Command touch navigation feature. Riding high on its classy designs, innovative aesthetics and excellent user interface, LG Electronics India Limited launched a completely new design concept of transparency with its LG GD900 Crystal.

The LG-GD900 Crystal's slide-down Crystal Touchpad first appears to just be an alphanumeric keypad, but it actually 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 made from tempered glass and reinforced by a band of Liquid metal ensuring extended use.

"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 Mr. Anil Arora, Business Group Marketing Head, Mobile Communications, LGEIL.
