Still keen on one of those $2 Samsung Galaxy S IIs that Samsung’s selling as a stunt? Technically, the queue that’s reported outside the Sydney-based pop-up-shop already has the available models sewn up — and may start clashes with iPhone 4S fans. More »
Remember when Kogan was going to launch the Agora phone, and then didn’t? It’s still dead. But, as Demarket notes, he’s extended his brand name grey market imports business to include smartphones, including the iPhone 4, Galaxy S II and HTC EVO 3D. More »
