We just got word that the LG Fathom will be released on June 3rd. For those not in the know, the Fathom is the last of its kind: a 1GHz Windows Mobile 6.5 powered handset.

Other features include a dazzling 3.2MP autofocus camera (sans flash, it seems), QWERTY keypad, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, and a 3.2″ screen of unknown resolution.

While the specs are unlikely to blow anyone away, the most attractive feature of the phone is its price: $99.99 with a two year Verizon contract, $499.99 without one.

Not much more to say, really.

For the detail-hungry folks out there, I’ve included the press release, below:
