LG Optimus 3D now available on Three – from �35 per month

UK network Three is now taking orders for the LG Optimus 3D, with the chunky Android novelty phone now available. Prices are rather SKY HIGH, though – you can have an Optimus 3D for “free” if you sign up to a £35 24-month contract, or £40 if you want one connected via the network's “all you can eat” data bundle.

It'll also do you one on a PAYG basis for £449.99. Not amazingly good deals, but it does mean we get to use this amazing Optimus 3D photograph we've been saving for over a week:

We can't find the phone listed on the Three web site at time of writing. So to make sure you believe us and don't go disrespecting us on the internet, here's the press release:

LG Optimus 3D - now available on Three.

The world's first 3D smartphone, the LG Optimus 3D, is available now on Three, online from www.Three.co.uk.

The LG Optimus 3D's innovative 4.3" 'stereoscopic' touchscreen is capable of screening 3D content without glasses, whilst two inbuilt 5MP cameras also make it easy for people to create their own 3D videos in full high-definition.

Coupled with Three's award winning network* our customers will experience a quick and reliable experience when enjoying their 3D content."
