Australian Google phone is postponed indefinitely
An unlikely news comes from Australian Kogan Technologies. The second-to-be Android-implemented phone, now according to The Age, the phone’ s launch has been postponed indefinitely. The reason is none other than “potential future interoperability issues”. Seems like we should have to wait for next Android phone to come.
Kogan Agora — with its MotoQ or Samsung Blackjack look-alike-form-factor — is said to be spotted in the previous CES 2009. Yet, We haven’t heard any “hands-on review” about its ability. The decision, whether the phone is able to be launched or not, depends on the meeting between Ruslan Kogan and the Google guys in Google HQ.
The Kogan Agora, when available, it will be the next smartphone powered by Android after T-Mobile G1. Agora will comes in two version, the Agora will be sold at AU$299 and the Agora Pro will be sold at AU$399. The Kogan Agora (AU$299) features a full QWERTY keyboard, central navigation key, 2.5? touchscreen, microSD slot, and 3G connectivity. The Kogan Agora Pro (AU$399) adds a 2 MP camera, Wi-Fi, and GPS.

Angora? First time hearing of this brand. Well they can take as much time as they like, as long as the end product will be worth it.
It’s looking great though so far, well the design aspect that is.
