For those of you here in Australia that are disappointed about Kogan’s decision to “delay” the sale of their Agora Android Phones, there is still a 100% legitimate way to get your hands on a phone running Google Android.
To purchase a legally unlocked, fully working Android handset – you simply need to be a member (a publisher) of the Google Android Marketplace.
To sign up – just express your interest here. It costs $US25.
Once you have signed up, you will be able to log in to your market place account, and you will be permitted to purchase your very own “development only” handset.
It will cost you around $US399 all up to get the phone into your hands you won’t walk away with change from $US550.
