Earlier this year, Australian online-only electronics retailer Kogan claimed it would be bringing a mobile phone to the Austrialian market based on Google’s Android operating system by the end of 2008 for a price as low as $199 AUD. Although Kogan is going to miss both those marks by a bit, the company has taken the wraps off the Agora and Agora Pro, two Android-based handsets that will begin shipping in January of 2009. And although the company admits the $199 AUD price just can’t be done in the current economic climate, the Agora will carry a $299 AUD price tag while the Agora Pro will run $399 AUD. And, both phones are available for pre-order now.
