Kogan's Google Phone on hold....

I'm pretty disappointed with this as was looking forward to it. Apparently, the Agora phone has been put on hold citing "future operational issues". Basically what that means is that it may not be able to handle new Android features which may use higher screen resolution and a larger screen. (I thought that the phone should have been designed as a full screen device anyway). Its also obviously disappointing for Kogan in that phones were in production and days away from the January 29 launch date.

Kogan has said in its website that customers who have paid their deposit will recieve a full refund.

It will be interesting to see what eventuates in the future regarding the re-design and pricing of the new Agora.

The Sydney Morning Herald has an interesting article on this as well
