LG showcased its latest mobile phone, GD900, that has a glass keypad that it fully functional and may add as a mousepad for navigation purpose. Seems that that glass piece is a multi-touch panel that supports gestures.

Aston Martin’s Solid Glass Phone

CPT02 is a concept design for a phone for Aston Martin. Designers Mobiado imagine a high end version of the everyday gadget made of glass and platinum. Besides it’s basic phone operations, it would also have a number of special features to work with an Aston Martin car.
The phone would unlock the car automatically if you simply approach the vehicle and connects to the car display and the vehicle’s GPS. This would enable connections with social network sites like Foursquare, integrated cameras within the camera can be set to periodically upload photos, videos and information of passing cities or landmarks on Facebook and Twitter.
If the phone is in your pocket, it could transmit your movement during an accident that is said to allow a more responsive control over ‘safety deployments’ like airbags and seat belt stiffening.
The luxury phone concept is made from solid crystal,  featuring a see-through capacitive touchscreen with platinum sides. The purpose of this concept, Mobiado says, is to push the boundaries of invention, allowing concept ideas to be identified for future production designs.
