AT&T today announced the LG Nitro HD, a new Android smartphone that supports AT&T's Long Term Evolution 4G and HSPA+ networks, and includes a 4.5-inch AH-IPS (Advanced High-Performance In-Plane Switching) display with 1280 x 720 pixels for HD resolution. LG says the display offers 500 nit brightness, which lets it be used in direct sunlight, and RGB stripe pixels, which it says offer better color representation. Other features of the Nitro HD include a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 8-megapixel camera, 4GB of built-in memory (plus microSD support), Wi-Fi Direct, and DLNA. It runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The LG Nitro HD goes on sale December 4 at company-owned stores and online for $249.99 with new agreement.

Only 4 GB of internal memory?
Also reading elsewhere, it looks like they are loading some serious bloatware onto it. Gameloft HD games and Zynga Poker HD to name a few.
One other thing I saw that made me kind of leary:
Stand-by Up to 252 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 3 h (3G)
3 hours talk time. Ouch. It's a 1830 mAh battery. That dual core is killing the phone already. I can already see people buying it then returning it because of the battery life.
I hate to see what it will be on the LTE network.
So to the poster who wanted a qHD display and a great battery...
