LG's Bringing Sexy Back

CTIA Wireless 2009, one of the biggest yearly cell phone conferences, ended just three days ago. Among the hoards of unreleased cell phones being shown off for the first time was the LG-GD900, which is by far one of the sexiest phones to grace the world with its presence. The GD900 has been touted as the transparent phone, and for good reason. The phone is a touch-screen device which features, among other things, a vertical slider design, meaning that the phone itself slides up to reveal an alphanumeric (the typical 1-9) keypad. That in itself isn't too terribly impressive, much less sexy, but here's the killer part -- the keypad is transparent and a touch-screen itself. The keypad's touch interface can control many of the actions on the main screen (not much point to that but it's cool as shit), and also supports handwriting recognition. The device also sports LG's S-Class 3D UI ( their new touch-screen interface, which is pretty ballerific from what I've seen) as well as an 8MP camera. Rather than give you the promo photos that are obviously made in photoshop, or the first LG shots that are marred by an Asian woman dual wielding the phone, I trolled to find the best pictures I could, though I'd suggest watching this to get the full effect, because only video can do this masterpiece justice, but here we go ...
