The [LG Thrill 4G](http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/atandts-lg-thrill-4g-hands-on-video/) was announced [at CTIA](http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/27/ctia-2011-wrap-up-evo-3d-g2x-skinny-new-galaxy-tabs-and-more/) [four months ago](http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/21/atandt-launches-htc-hd7s-with-wp7-and-lgs-3d-enabled-thrill-4g-an/) , but wasn't given its rightful time in the sun due to a much larger [elephant in the room](http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/20/atandt-agrees-to-buy-t-mobile-from-deutsche-telekom/). Now the phone's launch is quickly approaching, however, and the AT&T-branded [Optimus 3D](http://mobile.engadget.com/tag/LG%20Optimus%203D/) is ready to get some glory. We were sent not one, but *two *separate emails this morning from [Radio Shack](http://www.engadget.com/tag/RadioShack/) insiders with a few details about the retail chain's rollout of the device. As it turns out, visitors to The Shack can be offered the opportunity to reserve a Thrill -- supposedly gearing up for an August 7th launch -- starting *today* with the purchase of a $50 gift card. According to the screenshots sent to us, the Thrill can be all yours for $80 with a two-year contract ($550 if you exhibit a fear of commitment). We're hesitant to declare August 7th the official launch date, since [history has shown](http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/30/radioshack-to-sell-t-mobile-g2-first-starting-on-october-3rd/) that resellers don't always get handsets at the same time as corporate outlets do. If you find any success reserving one today, however, we'll be thrilled elated to hear about it.
