Cramming a decent camera and MP3 player into a tiny package, it's an extremely convenient device

LG GD900 Crystal

The GD900 Crystal packs two touch-sensitive surfaces: its screen and its transparent, slide-out, glass keypad. The latter isn't just visually appealing -- it's also useful, letting you navigate around without obscuring the screen with your fingers. Plenty of other features prove this phone's no one-trick pony
