The LG Thrill 4G was announced at CTIA four months ago , but wasn’t given its rightful time within the sun via a far larger elephant within the room . Now the phone’s launch is readily approaching, however, and the AT&T-branded Optimus 3D is able to get some glory. We were sent not one, but two separate emails this morning from Radio Shack insiders with about a information about the retail chain’s rollout of the device. Because it seems, visitors to The Shack could be offered the chance to order a Thrill — supposedly gearing up for an August 7th launch — starting today with the acquisition of a $50 gift card. Based on the screenshots sent to us, the buzz may well be all yours for $80 with a two-year contract ($550 in the event you exhibit a terror of commitment). We’re hesitant to declare August 7th the official launch date, since history has shown that resellers don’t always get handsets even as corporate outlets do. In the event you find any success reserving one today, however, we’ll be thrilled elated to listen to about it.
