LG Optimus 3D ships in Europe and could be on AT&T by end of summer

We have seen a big push into the 3D world with many TVs being released over the past year or so, now the technology is finding its way onto our cell phones as well. One such device the LG Optimus 3D is ready to ship in Europe, and could be on AT&T by the end of summer.

The company said last night that it had begun shipments of the handset, and according to an article on electronista.com, Europe will be getting the handset first. In the UK Amazon have up for preorder with a shipping date of July 13 and priced at £499.99 SIM free, which is around $969.

Over the next few weeks the handset is due to arrive in sixty regions, and may mean that it arrives on AT&T by the end of the summer. The handset is powered by the TI OMAP4430 dual-core processor, and just like the HTC Evo 3D has a 4.3-inch glasses free 3D display. It can capture 3D video in 720p or 1080p using the twin rear cameras.

In the US there is the LG Thrill 4G which looks pretty similar to the Optimus 3D, and rumors are suggesting a release towards the end of July. Besides the device supporting AT&Ts HSPA+ network there doesn’t seem any other differences.
