The Kogan Agora mobile phone is the first in Australia powered by Android™ software – the ground-breaking new open source mobile phone operating system.
This second android mobile in the world, called the Kogan “Agora”, and comes in two versions, the “standard” Agora for AUD $299, and the Kogan “Agora Pro” (click for pics) for AUD $399.
The mobile has everything that a multimedia device should need, including the host package for communication and the 3G capability. Pre-installed software applications provide access to many services including GMail™, Google Calendar™, Google Maps™, Google Talk™, and a YouTube™ video player. The integrated Google Maps™ application supports detailed map, satellite, traffic, and the new street view.
The main thing to consider about it is its Android operating system which is just new into the mobile world and only one mobile has been released from Google with that OS.
The other normal features which Kogan Agora has are like Bluetooth technology, MicroSD card for enhanced memory, and customizable Home Screen with instant Email, text message and IM notifications.
