Agora Android Phone Delayed By Glitches

Posted by timothy on from the to-not-get-what-you-don't-pay-for dept.

An anonymous reader points out this report at News.com.au which says that "THE first Australian 'Google phone' set to go on sale within weeks has been delayed indefinitely, with the manufacturer Kogan forced to refund early buyers. In a statement released this afternoon, the company said the delay was 'due to future interoperability issues.'The Agora reached a very late stage of development, manufacturing had commenced and we were within days of shipping the product to customers,' company founder Ruslan Kogan said in a statement."

    My current phone is dying, too...

    Please be responsible how you bury it. We have a global cooling crisis here in the US. The gallium arsenide in your cell phone adversely alters the magnetic convection current of the Earth once exposed to air. Please, be responsible.

    Our CEO has not been back since then. This must be big.

    Wow. I hate to break the news to you, but I think that it's likely that he got eaten by grue.

    Funny thing is... one of those Google guys reportedly threw a chair.

    I think you just said, "Of course this can happen -- because even though its a device manufacturer, they still have to deal with the fucked up world of software." Nice rejoinder.

    And doesn't want to go outside where it can meet up with nice hot little software numbers. Just maybe.

    >> the Agora must be redesigned

    And possibly renamed to "Depois". :-)
