LG Optimus 3D shows up online in the UK at £500

Carphone Warehouse, UK’s favorite online retailer, has now started selling LG’s first 3D phone, the Optimus 3D (known stateside as the Thrill 4G for AT&T).  The dual-cored device can be bought for £500 right now, a hefty price but hey, that’s what you’ll have to pay if you want an unlocked phone.  For the ones who like a subsidized plan, there are options on most major carriers including O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Orange to get it for free and plans start at just £35 per month, but of course, you will have to ink a two-year contract and subscribe to a data plan.

If you don’t know the device already, head over to our specs page to know what its made of, but if you are in a hurry, just know that the Optimus 3D features a 4.3 3D display that doesn’t require shutter glasses to view 3D content, has dual 5MP cameras for 3D imaging, and runs Android 2.2 OS smoothly using 1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 process and 512MB RAM.

Head over to Carphone Warehouse if you want to know more or you could wait for HTC’s take on the 3D handset.
