    @jean – paul was just too out of line…

    he shouldn’t be here in the first place if that is his personality…

    why insist on something which is out of the topic..

    this blog is for a particular cellphone…

    i may not know him well, but i know that he is out of the subject matter.

    i understand that we all have our opinions. but paul doesn’t have the right on this one.. this blog simply reviews a particular phone.. it doesn’t even compare it to other phones….

    pls jean, don’t reply

    @ Paul,

    First of all, this a review of the featured phone to help people know if they shall buy this phone or not. This blog is not to review yourself on what you geek people can do and what kind of people you are. In short, this is not about you so stop bragging yourself that you are a geek that can cook roms because we average people dont really care. When I first read your comment, I am already in doubt that you are a “Di Tiyak” kind of man and eventually I have proven right.

    Baka KSP ka lang at gusto mo lang magpapapansin. You really are a sad human being. Good luck to your manners girl, I wish you to have many more Kachurvanez! Peace!

    mga tol balik tayo sa topic…may flex din kaya yang slide ng LG GD900 kagaya ng ibang slide na phone…di kaya madali ring masira ung flex nyan….????????

    pano ba gumagana yang transparent crystal sliding keyboard na yan…??????

    sana may sumagot sa mga tanong ko….

    paul anong masasabi mo….?????peace…..

    @ paul – tol, just shut up if you don’t like this blog, okay? you don’t have any right to write such things. try to be better. be sensitive and don’t be arrogant.

    “Why don’t you review more Windows Mobile phones? Paying so much for a phone that can’t do anything besides install lame java apps is for the idiotic mainstream who doesn’t know how to use technology.

    Geeks like us know better and want more power from our phones. A phone that can do a video call, while downloading torrents, transcoding a video, doing desktop level web browsing and getting push email can only be performed on 1 platform, as of right now, and that is Windows Mobile.”
    — this doesn’t make you a geek. this only shows that you are too lazy to use your desktop or laptop computer. and i don’t care if you are gay. just shut up and keep it to yourself.

    Lg has come up with Lg GD900 the latter stands out for its 8 Mega pixels Camera and especially its transparent sliding keyboard which it derives its name for. Crystal enjoys the latest technology in mobile telephony, but not necessarily exploited optimally. The phone’s design plays on transparency, with gray shades and finally pure black color which derives it to a very simple product. The finishes are more than correct, with small buttons and mechanisms of aluminum, enhancing the look a bit classy and solid.
    The sliding keyboard leaves no signs of disrespect and which is very pleasing to the opening and closing. At the opening, it glows gently revealing the laser-etched keys. The effect corresponds to the same motto: clean and simple! For mroe information visit http://www.techarena.in/review/14655-lg-gd900-crystal-mobile-phone.htm

    Using smileys doesn’t give you an excuse to be impolite and it didn’t hide the impoliteness of your response.

    There is also no need to grandstand how much of a geek you are or how experienced you are in cooking roms just to impose your opinions here.

    My current phone still runs on java apps and I’m pretty cool with what it does for me. It’s all that I need for now. And for the majority of the users who are still using a non-WinMo OS, you went overboard by tagging us as the “idiotic mainstream who doesn’t know how to use technology”.

    You are indirectly telling the readers here that you and your kind are superior… and that to me is impolite.

    @Jumal

    yung top is a tempered glass. yung likod is plastic. pero it doesnt feel plasticky kapag hawak mo sya. I think madali mag crack kapag bumagsak sya.

    @John Ray

    its a touch keypad. wala talagang physical button. guide lang yung mga numbers and letters. para alam mo na dun ka pipindot. hehe

    Combine the LG Crystal’s transparent keypad with the upcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness(Kiki) and you’ll get the first transparent fone in the world.
