Two dimensions? Disgusting. As of tomorrow, we'll care only about phones that can offer glorious 3D visuals, such as the LG Optimus 3D. It will be available from the Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy in a mere 24 hours or so.
You'll be able to pick up the Optimus 3D, which displays 3D images without the need for dorky glasses, for free on a £35-per-month, 24-month contract.
Mathematicians among you will have clocked that, in total, this deal will set you back an embolism-inducing £840, so think carefully about whether you'd really make use of the Optimus 3D's triple-dimensional tech.
You'll also be able to grab the phone for £500 SIM-free, which, if you've got the upfront cash, is a much more palatable option.
We've toyed with the Optimus 3D extensively, and we're certainly intrigued. The 3D effect is convincing, but is it the future of mobile tech, or a pricey gimmick? It'll be going head to head with the HTC Evo 3D, which is also due in stores in July.
As well as its huge, 4.3-inch, 3D-capable touchscreen, the Optimus 3D packs a dual-core chip and two 5-megapixel snappers around the back. Tidy.
If you're keen on the Optimus 3D but have a strong ideological objection to buying from Best Buy or the Carphone Warehouse -- perhaps because it scrapped those adorable Mobley ads -- the Optimus 3D will be heading to the rest of the UK from 6 July.
Are you tempted? Or are these prices just too eye-watering? Let us know in the comments section below or on our Facebook page.

piffle paffle, I've had three LG phones in the past and they were good solid handsets. People use to say the same thing about HTC, oh its not a reputable company, oh they made unreliable window phones. The LG optimus 3D looks great and the features are super. I would take the optimus over the HTC evo 3d.

Well we must have had at least 10 phones over the last 10 years in this house hold, at least 3 Shines to a couple of Arenas and various other models suitable for young teenage girls.
All have either broke (shines & Arena) or had problems with the software (ALL).
Should I also point to to the review of the X2 (you know the one, where their own GUI laid over Android makes it a total pain to use) Go to the car phone warehouse and try it out, then try the Galaxy 2s..you will see.
PS: LG after sales is awful both telephone and e-mail and their own Web site to update and download items (non-android) is a total joke and painful to use.

HTC still has far better build quality than both Samsung and LG
