Since my hands landed on the iPhone back in Oct of 2008, I haven’t coveted another mobile phone but now comes a phone that is just beckoning my credit card. And before I continue, let me put this disclaimer up front, I am only tempted to buy this because it’s pretty. I know NOTHING about the specs and am only lured by its appearance. The LG GD900 Crystal is being heavily promoted across Hong Kong and the sexiness of having a transparent phone that lights up is not lost to this geek. And I find myself thinking about the technology that goes behind the touch screen that is transparent. Do you see any wires? I assume it’s done by fibre optics? Anyway in the interest of good journalism, I’ve dug up some specs to pitch my case.
