The standard Agora model simply lacks Wi-Fi and GPS, but still has 3G. Not a bad-looking device all around, although a little more traditional than the G1. There’s bound to be a Jack/BlackBerry/Moto Q crowd out there curious to see what Android’s like, and a handset like this makes the transition easier. Hopefully this will act as a cue to other manufacturers to get their Android hardware in gear.
