Agora: the other Android phone
A company I’ve never heard of, Kogan, is introducing the second Android phone on January 29th, 2009 in Australia.
Named the “Agora,” there will be two versions. The “Agora” is priced at $299. The “Agora Pro” is priced at $399. The big difference between the two seems to be GPS which is available only on the Pro.

More details and a size comparison of the Agora, the iPhone, and the G1 after the break.
