Mr. Blurrycam gets a hold of the Agora Pro just before rumored debut at CES

Mr. Blurrycam has made the rounds yet again, this time bringing new live photos of the Australian Agora Pro by Kogan.  Why does it seem the leaked photos are always blurry for some reason? In this case lets hope that the photos are not doing the device justice.

From what we can see the Agora Pro is very, well, square. No other words come to mind when trying to describe the lack of dimension and design that we see in these photos.  Work on the street is that we will be seeing this device on the floor at CES, which we will be vigilantly watching for Android-powered handsets.

If the Kogan Agora Pro does make it to the floor at CES this week we will have a complete first hands on right here on Android Community. Watch all this week as we bring anything Android related out of those booths on here on the front page.

  1. Those aren't that blurry.

    Leaked photos are probably blurry, because the person was taking them with a cellphone......and they might have been in a hurry. Seeing as taking pictures of devices not yet currently released is usually against the rules.
  2. erggg looks like a clunky blackberry? never heard of the company how do there phones hold up in general?
  3. Thats exactly the first thing I thought of.... Blackberry...
  4. Probably blurry because he used his G1- Ha!
  5. The LCD screen is too small, and the keyboard is too small too.

    I still prefer the HTC G1, large LCD, large keyboard, I want everything large.
  6. No thanks on the 320x240 screen. I do want to see a hands-on video or something though. See if we're missing anything. One thing it has going for it: It's cheaper than a G1. $299 contract-free, I think?
  7. It doesn't look too bad, I wouldn't mine having it as a secondary phone though
  8. The bezel around that screen is huge! Haven't they learned that that's a design no-no by now?

    LoL I just thought that was funny, this phone looks like something from Star Trek. Like a phazer phone.
  10. So much border around the screen looks ugly and makes the screen seem tiny.
  11. Wow, how'd they get Android on a Ti-83 graphing calculator?
  12. Why are a majority of android OS phones not cosmetically beautiful?

    Thats absolutely wrong! I take photos with my G1 regulary, and they come out great!! I get compliments on them all the time. But yes, he is totally using a cell phone. I can tell.

    Because Sony-Ericsson hasn't made one yet.

    399 AUD, or 286 USD. Unlocked and all. And the LCD is small, the phone looks like a Blackberry, but it's usable on nearly all 3G networks in the world (save for T-Mobile USA's AWS and some UMTS900 deployments in Europe)
  16. The screen is small with border which is not good...I hope it's a concept !

    Indeed, the border will go away on the final product: http://www.kogan.com.au/blog/2009/ja...-videos-agora/ The screen, OTOH, will be the same size - hope Kogan pack a treat for us and make the screen a little bigger on the retail phone
  18. it looks like the Moto Q's retarded step brother Pue
  19. a. looks like a iPhone pic. Blurry & low res are famous on iphones. If it was a G1, it would be completely out of focus or crystal clear due to the slow autofocus mechanism.

    b. yes the final will have a thinner bezel, BUT having a raised bezel helps. I noticed my Freerunner has one that really a perfect thickness to avoid glass scratches. And we end up buying stupid protectors for our G1s, iphones, storms , etc... that create a raise bezel, larger foot print--where as this phone will like not need a protector! That's a good thing...
  20. Are we gonna get any new news or is this mr blurrycam the last one??
