No matter how tough the times, people will still want those cool gadgets and TV's, and the cheaper they are the better.

Lately though, he's been getting worldwide publicity by announcing he would be the SECOND brand to launch a mobile phone using the ANDROID operating system (from Google).

I didn't pay too much attention to this, but lately, I have to say, I'm starting to get a little excited.  Blackberry be worried.

His AGORA handset, which comes in two outright purchase price points ($299 and $399, the later has WiFi, GPS and a camera), will launch at the huge CES show in Vegas, and will ship from January 29.

You know what, I want one.

3G speed, googles O/s - it's gotta be worth a look.

But here's why I want one.  Fully Qwerty Keyboard AND Touchscreen.  So its the same 'form factor' as your Blackberry Curve/Bold and Nokia E71 etc
