There's no rules and regs with Android, anyone can use it and change it into whatever they want. The whole point of it was to make a great phone OS that get's more eyeballs on the mobile web (and looking at google's web ads). Anyway, there's no reason on the planet why this phone won't be great. Definately worth checking out. </p> <p>Kogan won't be the first. <br /> </p> Guys, This is a snip. There’s no rules and regs with Android, anyone can use it and change it into whatever they want.

I don't like the slide out sideways keyboard on the G1, I was actually pretty disappointed by the hardware in the original release. I also prefer to have some sort of keyboard, I've got a HTC touch dual at the moment and it's just perfect. No changes to orientation to type.</p> <p>I'm interested in this though. The pre-order seems a big gamble as the fine print seems to point at this being an approximate representation of what they might sell. $399 for an artist's impression?</p> I like it.

I’m interested in this though. The pre-order seems a big gamble as the fine print seems to point at this being an approximate representation of what they might sell. $399 for an artist’s impression?
