Reviews of the LG Crystal GD900 (Unlocked)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Responsive glass keypad lets you navigate without obscuring the screen; multitouch capability; Wi-Fi and HSDPA connectivity.
The Bad: Unimpressive widgets; poor photos despite an 8-megapixel camera; sluggish at times; every surface is touch-sensitive so inadvertent taps are frequent.
The Bottom Line: The touch-screen LG GD900 Crystal's transparent, touch-sensitive, glass keypad looks cool but is pretty pointless. And, while two touch-sensitive surfaces mean there are more places to poke, it also means it's easy to make erroneous taps. While the phone sports plenty of interesting features, their implementation is sometimes lacking.

Review Summary: The included browser is usable, but suffers the same issues as both the Arena and the Viewty Smart - it's difficult to select links, touches are often a hit and miss affair and it's difficult to position the cursor when trying to select text
