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."

    phatsphere's correct. All the pre-orders are being refunded within the next 7 days, so none of us are out anything.

    I will admit that I was taking a big chance on a company I'd never heard of with a product that was a lot cheaper than I thought it should be. I doubt the next version of the phone will be so cheap, now.

    I really wish they'd just sold me the phone... Or given me the option.

    It was $399/$299 (for the high-end/low-end models respectively) in Australian. That meant it was ~$250/$190 in U.S. dollars.
