After T-Mobile, Sprint has now confirmed a release date for LG's flagship device. However, Verizon and AT&T are still leaving consumers and subscribers guessing as to when the G3 will be made available on the said carriers.

Sprint has announced that the LG G3 will be available on July 18 and open for pre-order starting July 11. What's even more is that the network is offering a $150 Reward Card for purchases from July 11 to July 24 and a $100 Reward Card for purchases from July 25 up until Aug. 14, reads the press release.

David Owens, senior vice president of Product, Sprint, says that the carrier is "thrilled" to bring yet another LG device to consumers. "LG G3 is sleek, stylish and powerful to its core with features our customers will truly appreciate. Best of all, Sprint is the only carrier that can boast LG G3 with the power of our Sprint Spark network and the value of Sprint's Framily rate plans," he said.

Sprint's release date announcement for the LG G3 follows T-Mobile's confirmation that the device will make it to its retail stores on July 16 and is also already available for pre-order. T-Mobile has recently concluded the LG G3 Open Beta Sweepstakes - rolling out 28 units of the smartphone to their lucky owners.

Verizon and AT&T have yet to announce a release date for the LG G3 but according to Gadget Insiders, the Big Red carrier has been rumored to have picked July 17 as the anticipated day. Although Verizon has not given out a release date yet, it is safe to say that a recently created page, now deleted, confirms that the carrier is not planning to lag behind the competition.

Phone Arena reports that Verizon has dedicated a page especially for LG G2 users who might be convinced to upgrade to the G3. The only problem was the carrier seems to have displayed the wrong photo on the now non-existent page.

"...Someone at Verizon screwed up, so we're seeing a photo of a QWERTY feature phone where the G3 should be visible. The feature phone we're talking about is the LG Cosmos 3 - which, save for the fact that it's made by the same company, has absolutely nothing to do with the high-end G3," says Phone Arena.

LG's flagship device comes with a 13MP OIS+ rear camera, a Quad HD IPS 2,560-by-1,440 display and a 2.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. As mentioned by Sprint, the smartphone will also have features such as the Knock Code as an unlock feature and the Smart Notice and Smart Keyboard which provide "relevant recommendations" based on the user's behavior.
