It's only been a few days since we saw [those leaked shots](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/21/lg-optimus-l7-leaks-for-boost-mobile-as-the-venice/) of what was rumored to be Boost Mobile's own variant of that [Optimus L7](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/29/lg-optimus-l7-review/) -- and, well, today the LG handset sees its official debut on the prepaid carrier. The LG Venice, as it'll be more commonly known around these parts, boasts a 4.3-inch, WVGA screen alongside a 1GHz CPU, a 5-megapixel camera on the rear (VGA quality on the front) and a video mode capable of shooting up to 720p recordings -- of course, this is all running [LG's UI 3.0](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/lg-ui-3-0-android-ics-skin/) flavor of Ice Cream Sandwich. As we've become accustomed to, [Boost Mobile](http://www.engadget.com/tag/boost+mobile/) is pricing its new Android handset at a decent price ($220), with the device expected to start hitting "exclusive" shelves on October 10th and other "select" retail shops later the same month.
