The Future Is Bright and (Literally) Clear

Posted on Friday, Feb. 20th 2009 by Michelle Stone in Industry News

Perhaps one of the most eye-catching products to debut this year (as still early yet) is the transparent design of the LG-GD900 mobile phone from LG Electronics.  The mobile phone had its coming out party in Barcelona during the GSMA Mobile World Congress (an event attended by 3Cinteractive’s Vic Shroff).

While most of its advanced features are unknown, the mobile device itself is 13.4mm-thick with 7.2Mbps HSPDA.  The biggest feature is the world’s first transparent keypad that softly glows when the slider is open.  The body of the device has a polished silver finish, so the keypad gives the mobile phone the appearance of being made from glass or crystal.

A Bluetooth headset is in the works from LG that will match the clear design of the mobile phone. The LG-GD900 is scheduled for release during the second quarter of 2009 and those advanced features are scheduled to be unveiled at that time.
