Kogan Releasing First Australian Android Phone January 29th

Posted on Thursday, Dec 4, 2008 by Brian Hart

If you are Down Under and are anxious to get your Android groove on, you won't have to wait too much longer. Online retailer Kogan will be selling the Android-based "Agora" on January 29, 2009 and is accepting pre-orders NOW right here. There are two versions: the basic model costs $299, while the Pro version (which includes Wi-Fi, a camera and GPS) is $399.

Kogan will sell them contract-free, so some of the network-integration features found on other Android phones may not be available on the Agora.  Gmail, Calendar, YouTube, Maps and talk will be included, of course. A special "Thanks!" goes out to Bradley and Daniel!
