Agora Phone not ready for Australia
Australian importer Kogan, had been set to launch a new phone named Agora this week, however there have been some set-backs.
The Australian launch of the Agora Phone, equipped with the Google Android operating system, was reportedly delayedamid reports the Operating System designed by Google has bugs. In addition to the software quirks, it seems the phone’s screen may be blurry and not yet ready for the consumer market.
The Google Android operating system for mobile phones is currently functional on several commercial mobile phone handsets overseas, however it’s launch in Australia has been delayed, and despite Kogan taking pre-orders, there is no confirmation when the phone will hit the market in Australia, if at all.
Kogan needs to be quick, because many manufacturers such as Samsung are already increasing productivity to meet demands for the Android handset, and Australian Telco Optus confirmed yesterday that it’s phone network is Android capable, and ready to go.
It won’t be long now before we see tech geeks in Australia sporting the Android, but we’re still not certain the hype machine or demand is anywhere near that of the Apple Iphone, which still gets heads turning to this day.
Search Engine News is waiting to receive a handset to report on the search functionality and how well the phone is for interacting with the web on-the-go.
