Agora NOT G1 as First Google Phone in Australia

This was an interesting little bit of information. Apparently we, in Australia, are not getting the G1 Google phone. Kogan Technologies in Australia has manufactured the Agora phone running the Google Android operating system. The phone is suppose to be launched on the 15th of December.

I had heard that the G1 was coming out here (currently only available in the US and Europe) but I guess plans have changed.

News.com.au reports that the Agora is the second handset to run the Android system. Click the link to read the whole article.

One can only hope that the Agora has better battery life than the G1.
