This time around? The name on the box says “LG” and it’s the keypad that’s “Crystal” clear. I’m Michael Fisher and it took me many months to chase down a working LG GD900 on eBay; join me as I go hands-on with the twelve-year-old “LG Crystal!” [SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp... [ABOUT WHEN PHONES WERE FUN – LG CRYSTAL GD900] This is the thirteenth in a series of MrMobile videos exploring the mobile tech world's most vibrant period in design and experimentation. In “When Phones Were Fun,” Michael Fisher re-reviews cellphones from the golden age of mobile, the decade-long span from the turn of the century to approximately 2009. When Phones Were Fun: Episode 13 features the LG GD900 / LG Crystal, a sample of which was purchased on eBay by MrMobile / Future plc. LG did not pay a fee or otherwise offer compensation in exchange for this coverage, nor did it preview or approve this content before publication. The lone sponsor of this video is HelloFresh.
