Kogan Agora is Fail

Well that just sucks. As you can see from the below picture, there is a lot to be left to desire in the new Kogan Agora. (The first Android Phone for Australia)



Source, via Engadget


  • Screen looks to be about 3/4 of the size it could be (although in fairness even the promo images had it this size)

  • Screen resolution is only 320x240

  • Horrid silver border around the screen - it would appear that is only on the prototype

  • 3G, not NextG - so basically useless anywhere except the CBD in Cairns

  • The Kogan website wants to charge $159 to deliver to Cairns. Well stuff that! It turns out their websoftware is stuffed. Deleiver to Cairns should only be about $39


Oh well, I suppose I have to start looking for another phone now.

I got myself an iPhone (don't laugh Henry!!) Actually, always been a Nokia boy but thought it was time to get a really web-friendly device.
