Yesterday, Bell Canada customers were finally able to get their hands on LG's new 720p HD smartphone, the Optimus LTE. For a while there we thought it would be named the LG Eye and were wondering if the device would see its way to the states since it uses the same bands as AT&T's, both LTE and HSDPA. After all, this thing would make a great addition to Ma Bell's 4G line up. Pocketnow reports that in fact yes, we will see this beastly LG stateside and it will be known as the the LG Nitro HD. A recent surfacing of the above picture all but confirms its imminent launch.

Possibly to be the U.S.'s first or second HD handset (depending on its release in comparison to the Galaxy Nexus'), the Nitro HD will be packing a 4.5-inch HD 720p display with 1280 x 720 resolution. This screen has been said to produce a better sub-pixel configuration than the pentile matrix found on Samsung's Galaxy Nexus. Some other device specs include a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of ROM + microSD expansion, Bluetooth 3.0, 8MP camera and a large 1830mAh battery. Although it appears that the Nitro will run on Gingerbread, a future ICS update would make this device a top contender in my book. What are your thoughts?
