The big reason to get the LG Thrill 4G is not for the 4G, but for the 3D. As everyone says, it is a bit of a gimmick. You can only see it at the right distance at the right angle and in landscape mode. The 3D tends to tire out your eyes, or make you...

Reviewing the Thrill 4G was essentially a complete rehash of the LG Optimus 3D, with the obvious exception of AT&T branding and price ($100 with a two-year commitment). While we didn't notice a large improvement over the global model to rate it a...

To wrap things up I’ll go ahead and post a few more photos for everyone to enjoy. It was really quite fun working with the Thrill 4G this week or so. At first I didn’t like the covers on the ports but I’ve grown to like them and its...
