LG Crystal GD900 User Reviews

The crystal is certainly a beautiful phone. It comes with a Transparent touch-sensitive keypad which is a joy to use. It may have the layout of the normal phone keypad, put it is easier and faster to use. It might be due to the slight haptic feedback every time you touch the keys. But the main feature of this is the gesture support. You can literally write letters on it instead of using the normal keypad, you can use it as a shortcut to different parts of the phone and you can even use it as a mouse when you are browsing the Internet.

The crystal runs LG's S-Class UI, (which is basically a 3D cube from which you can navigate different parts of the phone) which is quite a cool feature but can be sluggish and glitches at times.

The crystal has a 3.0" capacitive touch display (480 x 800 resolution), which is reasonably responsive and bright. It's nothing special though as there are plenty of other better displays out there (AMOLED, Retina, etc.)

The crystal has a massive 8MP camera with LED flash which does take brilliant photos and video. It's actually up there with some of the best camera phones around.

To sum up, if you want a stylish phone with a brilliant camera then I would recommend this phone for you.

My phone doesn't light up when receiving an incoming call so I have no idea who is calling and the call answer button also decides not to answer when the phone is ringing. The lights on mine go out as soon as an outgoing call is answerd too.

The call answer button also serves as history button and is supremely sensitive once the histories are on display. I've lost count of the amount of calls I've made to the last person that text/called me without my knowing or being able to stop a connection (it's only sensitive when it wants to be)

Seriously, just putting the phone down and brushing the call answer button is enough for this to happen. Then there's the freezing, locking and crashing. It's not a good phone, it just looks good.

I got the LG GD900 as a Christmas present 2009. However now it is March 2010 and the phone is back with the retailer for fixing for the second time.

The problem is, the phone does not light up and show the incoming calls so I can't see who is calling me! This is the same when i'm calling out, the phone doesn't leave the lights on. I spoke to customer service tech in L.G and they have never heard of this.

The retailer first updated the software in the phone and it worked for about a day and went again and I didn't touch any of the settings. Overall I love the phone but upset that this happens.

I also have the same problems as others in this forum, screen freezes then starts up like it was turned off, I can live with this as i'm sure all phones have some little problems.

Enjoy using this phone, however can be a bit slow and often freezes. Built in memory could be larger and photo gallery could do with different viewing options. Camera is not as good as an 8mp should be, picture and video quality is pretty poor, with the applications taking some time to open. Overall an enjoyable phone, would recommend it.

I recently bought this phone after owning a Nokia N97 for a month and got rid as it was one of the worse smart phones on the market. I will never buy a Nokia ever again.

I decided to go for something a bit more simple but looks good. Never had an LG before, I will say it takes a while to get uses to but after after a couple of days I was uses to it.

I found the phone fairly reliable, the only problem I've had with it is when I'm writing a text sometimes the phone go's blank and starts up like its just been switch on. It doesn't do it all the time just now again but I can live with it. Justed owning a N97 for a month, it makes this phone a dream in comparison.

In a nut shell the LG is no smartphone but if your after reliability and style from a phone go for it, I'm happy with mine.
