General Mobile showing dual-SIM DSTL1 Android phone at Mobile World Congress
From Android Authority
General Mobile plans to show the world’s first dual-SIM capable Android powered phone at the 2009 Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona next month and has released some photos. However, based on the photos' details, the phone's button configuration will not work with Android. Android needs at least five hardware buttons (home, back, menu, call send, call end). The company claims that will change.
However another potential issue is the 400x240 screen, which is a bit low. Again the company claims if the display proves to be a problem, it will increase its resolution.
Hopefully they will be able to work out the kinks before its scheduled Q3 shipping start.

Per Gizmodo, the Kogan Agora, which was supposed to be the world's second (and Australia's first) Android Handset, is now delayed indefinitely. The reason: potential future compatibility issues with the smartphone's screen.
Anyone who pre-ordered an Agora will have their money refunded in full.
