Kogan Agora powered by Android in action

[gregoryopera]

Such a shame that the Agora and Agora Pro were canceled, 'cause I remember reading about this at the time and I was planning to buy 1-2 of them...

Love the mini "slide-out" menu and the way it still leaves part of the background visible - it's different, but in a nice, unique sorta way.

looks like a suckish phone

[serebristova]

When will it finally come out!?

[chancellor319]

I've used this phone and it is FREAKING FAST! No hitch! No slow down! Nothing at all. Just browsing through and jumping from menu to menu easily and smoothly! :)

[demet1234]

Cmon guys, why would you compare this phone to your iPhone/G1? It just doesn't make sense. The screen is much smaller and the hardware looks so much different. Some people just prefer the look of this phone regardless the screen size..

[anthonyzeng620]

is this the agora or the agora pro?

as stated in the kogan website blog:

THE SILVER BORDER WILL BE BLACK ON ACTUAL PHONE.

the phone in video is pre-production version

[whatamidoinghere101]

at least Australia has at least one android phone, with the the uncertainty of us getting da htc g1

[SaCoo]

i preordered too im excited. price is fair too. its 399$ in aussie dollars (282.09$ USD around there plus the ship and whatnot)

[BuckFush08]

I'm more interested in the App shown at the 32 second mark. It sure looks like Google Earth, which is available for iPhone.

If it IS Google  Earth, I wonder why it hasn't been released for the G1 yet????

[reYKCuf]

The truth is out there.

[SeventhCity]

That silver border looks like absolute shit. I hope that they're not seriously considering releasing it like that. Failboatery.

[F1archivesDotCom]

It looks like it has a resistive touch screen though.

i,m getting this til the nokia n97 drops..

[izico]

I love everything large.

[Charbax]

The screen could be larger I guess if they didn't have that fat mirror border..

[n0c0ntr0ll3r]

I'm glad I ordered this phone. Looking very very nippy.

[illk1978]

looks pretty cool, I'll keep my iphone for now.. but if the music player works well and the build quality is good I'd give one a try, why not eh?

[fastermasterstudio]

screen is smaller than G1...

[ericunderscores]

It appears to be quicker than my G1. It's weird that the program menu slideout is at the side and not the bottom. Cool..

[zsmorr92]

not bad, im already content with my G1, something about the name Agora is just awesome lol

@gotham158

I agree with you. That screen is too small. Can't beat my G1 :)

[skinnny101]

The price can though :P

The G1 was not worth the price in the end, its specs are nothing to wow about. Just that it ran Android was the reason its popular.

[phuthanvinh]

i agree

[RingburnDave]

Blackberry look out eh? Good to see an Aussie pioneer in the Android arena.

[CSPhobos]

It's got a nice qwerty keypad and still is a huge screen for those types of phones. I'd take it over an iphone any day. :)

[gotham158]

Still lovin' my iphone...that screen looks way small.
