The first mobile phone running Google's Android operating system will hit Australia on 29 January, with a company called Kogan Technologies announcing the imminent release of an Android-based handset it calls the "Agora".
The Agora
(Credit: Kogan Technologies)
The phone can be ordered from Kogan's website, www.kogan.com.au, and will be shipped to Australian and international customers on 29 January 2009. The price to buy the handset outright has been set at $299, with a more featured version called the Agora Pro going for $399.
The features of the Agora include a full QWERTY keyboard with a central navigation key, a 2.5-inch touchscreen, microSD slot and 3G capability. The Pro adds a 2MP camera, Wi-Fi and GPS.
There has been no news yet as to when the other Android phone, the HTC Dream, will reach Australia.
Now that is very cheap. If Kogan would ship a phone with Windows Mobile 6.1, then I would be interested.

Not that I care anyway. Im just gonna get it on NextG prepaid and have my Iphone as my Personal phone for Personal Calls, Emails, SMS and have a Kogan for my business emails
Totally agree.... i saw the picture and had to check it wasnt a blakberry due to that navigation key!!!

Interesting
Is it me or does that key next to the central navigation key look strangley like a crackberry... err blackberry symbol.
Still it runs Android so I'll have a look.
The HTC G1 is available from some importers according to shopbot and staticice, but it ain't cheap, I actually saw one at Ruxcon... it was very cool
