The GD900 has quad-band GSM and dual-band UMTS support with HSDPA for high-speed connections. The phone uses the S-Class 3D user interface and the keypad allows for innovative gesture and multi-touch controls. This allows users to pinch with two fingers on the keypad to zoom in or out on photos. The only trouble, some felt, was that the slider is difficult to open with one hand.
Take a look at the video below.
