LG’s mighty proud of the Thrill 4G, and we can’t say we blame them — check out the hands-on and see why.  To celebrate the launch, they threw a big bash on July 25 in New York with musical guest Jane’s Addiction, and the concert footage from the party is now on line for every one to have a look at.  At their ComeAlive Youtube channel, they’ve dropped nine videos of the band having a loud good time, as well as the crowd.  Maybe even more interesting to us Android fans, on Aug. 4 they will be uploading a full documentary shot in 3D with the LG Thrill 4G to their channel.  Should make for a great look on any stereoscopic 3D device, like the Optimus 3D or the EVO 3D.  Of course with word that the LG Thrill may be delayed, it’s may be a few weeks until you can actually watch in on a Thrill.  In the meantime, check out the band at the source link.

Looking for something cool but not overly useful to do with your Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1? Might as well check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9″ retail mode that has been loaded onto it since Samsung saw fit to leave it on there. As you can tell from the video above, it’s as you would expect — just a demo video of what the device is capable of in addition to showing off the new TouchWiz UI. Here is how you can do it:

OK, all you boys and girls who are dying to hack into your shiny new EVO 3D. The long-rumored collaboration between the folks behindUnrEVOked and AlphaRev has come to fruition, and the Revolutionary S-OFF and Recovery Tool has been born. Devices supported include:

This just rolled in from a tipster, and it looks like you folks waiting for AT&T to release the LG Thrill 4G might have to wait just a bit longer.  According to this internal memo from Radio Shack, the thrill has been put on hold until Aug. 21.  The Shack will continue to take pre-orders for the dual-core 3D handset until Aug. 15, and those of you that already have yours on order should be getting word from Radio Shack about the delay soon. 

If you’ve been planning on grabbing an LG Revolution from Verizon at some point soon, now is as good a time as any. Right now and up until August 28, Verizon, LG and Netflix have teamed up to offer 3 free months of Netflix service to anyone who purchases an LG Revolution for $199 from Verizon. After the 3 months is up, you’ll be on the hook for $7.99/mnth but you have no obligation to continue plus – it sure beats their 30-day free trial if you’re going to be grabbing and LG Revolution anyway.

Remember that Samsung Galaxy S II slider that we saw a few days back?  Turns out that it likely isn’t the Galaxy S II after all, according to BGR, who leaked out the original images.  Just as we already reported, AT&T is now looking to release two new Samsung phones, one being the SGH-i927 with a sliding horizontal qwerty keyboard (pictured above, and mentioned here as well), and a more conventional styled phone that will be the Samsung Galaxy S II for the number two US carrier.
