Radio Shack to give its customers a thrill; the LG Thrill 4G will be offered for $79.99 on contract

News about the LG Thrill 4G has been coming quickly now that AT&T has confirmed the September 4th launch of the 3D enabled phone as we reported. While AT&T plans on offering the LG Thrill 4G for $99.99 with a 2-year contract, a leaked picture of a Radio Shack internal document shows that the retailer plans on offering the phone for $79.99 with the 2-year pact. Without the contract, the Shack will ask you for $549.99 to get a Thrill 4G.

At $79.99, Radio Shack would match the price that Target is expected to ask for the phone, as we informed you. The stereoscopic 3D effects do not require any special glasses and the handset comes loaded with 3 games, N.O.V.A, Let's Golf 2 and Asphalt 6. In the memo, Radio Shack reps are gently told to push some accessories like screen protectors, the Jabra EasyGo Bluetooth headset and a PointMobl universal case. Will you give in to the sales pressure?
