Looks like pre-orders are up for the LG Thrill 4G on AT&T if you know where to look. The smartphone packs a glasses-free 3D WVGA 4.3-inch display, 8GB of storage, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, HSPA+, a 5MP 3D camera, a front-facing camera, a dual-core 1GHz CPU, and sadly just Android 2.2.

If you head over to a Radio Shack store right now then you can buy a $50 gift card which will go toward the smartphone when it launches on August 7th. The smartphone should be launching for $79.99 on a 2-year contract which isn't much to ask.

Looking to get a 3D smartphone in the US? If you already have your mind set on Sprint's HTC EVO 3D then you can now pre-order the smartphone at RadioShack. The actual release date is still unknown right now but it'll likely retail for $199.99 on a 2-year contract. The smartphone packs WiMAX capabilities, a 3D display and camera, and Android with the Sense UI if you're interested.

Still waiting on the BlackBerry Playbook from RIM? Well, you can now pre-order one from Radio Shack if you have $499 handy for the 16GB WiFi-only model. The choice is yours if you want to pick this up over an iPad 2 which has a 2.7-inch larger display and a countless number of apps. However, don't forget that the Playbook runs an OS made by QNX and will support Android apps in the future. Furthermore, you can check out reviews for the Playbook now - all you have to do is Google it. Check it out on Radio Shack.

AT&T has finally released one of the most powerful smartphones to date and it's the Android powered and Tegra 2 packing Motorola Atrix 4G. This is available on the carrier right now for $!99.99 on a 2-year contract. Specs include a 4-inch display (540 x 960 resolution), the aforementioned 1GHz dual-core CPU, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash and 720p HD video recording (1080p at a later date), WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 2.1 support, HSPA+ connectivity, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, 1GB of RAM, and Android 2.2 with MOTOBLUR. Of course, you can also get the $499 laptop dock either separately or with the handset itself. I honestly think that the handset is definitely worth the price so check it out on AT&T.

Update: This smartphone is also available on RadioShack and Amazon for $149.99 on a 2-year contract. The best deal you'll find is at your local Walmart where it's actually just $129.99.

We already know that Walmart will be selling the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G for $148.88 on a 2-year contract and Radio Shack's price has leaked today. Yup, they'll be selling the smartphone for $149.99 on a 2-year contract which pretty much confirms that T-Mobile USA will be launching it for the same price. This one should be available soon so just wait.

Radio Shack or The Shack will be launching the T-Mobile G2 for just $149.99 on a 2-year contract which is already a sweet deal. They've sweetened that deal by getting said smartphone on October 3rd which is a few days before T-Mobile and other stores get it. Looks like there is one more reason to step into that store.

AT&T is about to launch another handset and it's going to be the Samsung Flight II (A927). This handset will be sporting a new and spaced out slide-out (landscape) QWERTY keyboard along with a 240 x 400 resolution touchscreen display, a 2MP camera, 512MB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, mobile TV, AT&T Navigator, and the Touchwiz UI. This should be available fairly soon and it's said that it won't be more than $100 on a 2-year contract.

Update: According to Phone Arena, the Flight II (SGH-A927) is actually available at Radio Shack right now. Check it out on their website (here) where you can actually pick it up for $49.99 on a 2-year contract.

Phone Arena has just pointed out that the Samsung Vibrant is now up on T-Mobile US's website and it's stated as "Coming Soon" (here). Thankfully, the official T-Mobile Twitter account has just confirmed that this handset will be available starting on July 15th! It's just under a week away, for you crazy Android fans out there looking to get the next "superphone".

Update: According to a different post on Phandroid, you can actually pre-order the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant at your local Radio Shack. If you do they'll give you a $50 gift card to do whatever you want. If you're eager then pull the trigger.

On July 2nd, T-Mobile USA is going to get a pretty big smartphone (size and spec-wise). We're talking about the Galaxy S variant but they'll be naming it the Samsung Vibrant. We already know the complete spec sheet for this smartphone but I'll run though them again just in case you're not familiar. This smartphone packs a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a 5MP AF camera with 720p recording capabilities, a 1GHz Hummingbird CPU, 512MB of RAM, 2GB of ROM, a microSD card slot (2GB card in the box), Bluetooth 3.0 / WiFi b/g/n with DLNA support, and Android 2.1 with Touchwiz 3.0. This smartphone will be hitting T-Mobile USA starting on July 21st for an easily predictable price of $199.99 on a 2-year contract. If you're extremely interested then you can start pre-ordering it on July 1st at Radio Shack for $50 (gift card).

Sadly, on the pre-installed 2GB microSD card there'll be The Sims 3 Collector's Edition and Avatar, so you can delete those ASAP if you don't want it.

Yes, I hear you. You're waiting for the HTC EVO 4G - I know it. Well, if you are then you should probably keep in mind that some Best Buys already have them in the back, but you can't buy them yet. If you just can't wait any longer, you can start lining up at Radio Shack right now. On Friday, June 4th, Radio Shacks around the US (1,600 of them) will be opening their stores at 6AM to give you the EVO 4G. This would be perfect because you can just hop on over, get one, and then show it off to everyone at work - if that's what you want to do.

Update: Sprint has just shown off their TV ad for the EVO 4G. It's below, courtesy of Phandroid.

Radio Shack has just announced that they'll be taking pre-order for the HTC EVO 4G today. The smartphone will be hitting their stores on June 4th, but you can pre-order them right now! To pre-order it you'll have to go to their store and purchase a $50 gift card which will be used when you buy the actual handset on June 4th. This means there won't be some silly mail-in rebate so that's good news.

[Slash Gear]

Sprint is set to launch the HTC EVO 4G soon and apparently the pre-orders for the handset could actually start later this month (May) at Radio Shack. An anonymous tipster over at Phandroid snapped a picture of Radio Shack's inventory system and this is hinting that Sprint will be releasing the handset sometime in the first half of June.

Don't forget that if you win the event that Sprint is holding, you should be getting your EVO 4G in the middle of this month as well. Another tipster mentioned that the training for the EVO 4G will start at around the 24th of this month. Good news for everyone!

Thanks to a Radio Shack leak it looks like the myTouch Slide could be on the way fairly soon. In case you forgot, the HTC Espresso may turn out to be the myTouch Slide. There's no picture right now, but it'll clearly be launching on T-Mobile USA.

Remember that Archos 5 tablet? Well, the 8GB model appears to be available now at Radio Shack. It's available for $249.99 and, yes, this is the 8GB SSD model (with Android) I'm talking about. On Amazon, you'll find the 32GB model for $379.99 so this could be for you especially since you can just add in a microSD card for more storage. Check it out here.

If you're reading this right now, you're probably already too late. The Palm Pre is now available at Sprint stores and select Best Buy / Radio Shack / Wal-Mart locations. Shortages for the Palm Pre could hurt them, seeing how some people are expecting a $99 iPhone in the near future. Rumour has it that after WWDC, the next iPhone will be available already.
