Second Google Android Phone Revealed 176
KrispyDroid writes "The world's second Google Android phone has been unveiled — by an Australian-based electronics company called Kogan. It will ship worldwide on Jan 29. It looks like a surprisingly nice form factor, not unlike a Blackberry Bold. The phones will be sold without a contract at low prices — $A299 ($US192)."

(Yes, they call every Android-based phone a "gPhone".)

What is even one thing about the page that makes you think it's a "US page"?
I'm not Australian (Lord be praised) and this was obvious to me within half a second.
