Eric, Thanks for correcting the URL.
Nobody has said the Agora is ready right now, if it was then I'm sure the shipping date wouldn't have moved to the end of Jan. Given that the G1 was first demoed to journalists less than a month before it shipped I'd say that the Agora is following pretty much the same arc as the G1 which, as we all know, shipped on time. The difference is that T-Mobile called a press conference and Kogan is making use of a public event (CES). I've seen the specs on the Lenovo Ophone (I'm assuming you mean the lenovo as I'm not familiar with company called lenono as you've written, I could be wrong, the Beatles could do Android...:)), and I can't see the Ophone being made available at the same price point as the Agora due to its' extra features, but the Agora doesn't have the rumoured 5MP camera, virtual keyboard, etc.. to so it will be down to consumers to decide which is "better" for them. The other thing remember is that the Ophone is designed to work on Chinese TD-SCDMA networks and so may be useless on networks outside of China. It's good to hear your hardware is progressing. I look forward to hearing more about it as it comes closer to being market ready. Al.
