    Default Kogan's new Agora smartphone gets a face lift just before release


    Not long after we receive word that Kogan is releasing the Agora Pro powered by Google's Android, we are now reporting that the handset has received a bit of a facelift since we first saw it. More details after the jump.

    Hm... that image looks like it's just been stretched. One of the clocks is not circular.

    I really think it was that wide to start with. As everyone keeps pointing out the initial image is compressed inward. Either way its a decent looking phone... I just don't like all that wasted real estate of black plastic that could essentially be more visible screen area.

    Either way nice to see another Android handset... and I can't lie.. i'm not disappointed at this thing not being able to blow the G1 out of the water.

    I can see it now, a whole new group of whingers coming into the forums complaining about the small screen size, how inconvenient it is to have to open the drawer to get to apps, not enough space on the Home screen, poor kinetic scrolling with fingertip dragging (it's a resistive screen), etc etc etc

    fook me.
