This is anything but a smartphone in my book — it’s cheap (about $150), it’s girly (a true ladyphone) and even though I’m not a big Motorola fan but I actually think there’s a market for a jewelry-embedded ladyphone for under $200…

The name Kogan might not be familiar with most cellphone users, but this company has startled users of cell phone with their offerings. The Kogan Agora Pro is an amazing cell phone. Let us check out what powers this beauty of a beast. This GSM Quad-band phone is designed for global roaming and also supports UMTS tri-band global 3G. It supports the GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA 1.8 Mbit per sec & HSDPA 3.6 Mbit per sec networks along with 3G. At 130 grams, this 108 x 64 x 14.8 mm is a bit on the heavy side. The 1300 mAh Li-Ion battery provides up to 400 minutes of talk time and 13 days of stand by time.
Picture quality is very good, thanks to the 320 x 240 pixels 262,144 colors TFT display. The 2 megapixel camera is a let down though. This cellphone supports playback for MPEG2, MPEG4, AVI, H.263 & H.264 with ease. Music lovers will love its support for MP3, AAC, WMA and WAV. This phone comes equipped with a FM radio and also has a microSD slot for enhancing memory. An Internet browser permits you to log on to your favorite sites. Connection with the outside world is via miniUSB & Bluetooth (2.0). Wi-Fi 802.11b and 802.11 is also supported. Check out this cell phone today, and its brother/sister the regular Kogan Agora!
I was lucky enough to be borrowed one of these Sony Ericsson W902 Smartphones by my employer when I was awaiting arrival of my brand new Samsung i8510 (which I trashed, but oh well), and I have to say it’s quite an intelligent little thing. I was very positively surprised by the interface (especially of the mp3 player, which is by far the best mp3-player I’ve seen in a phone other than the iPhone! The 5 megapixel camera did its job more than okay, and even though I’m not the biggest fan of the Sony Ericsson designs, this one doesn’t look too bad.
