TThe spanking new luxurious handset Motorola Aura was announced. It's been some time now since Motorola last announced a fashionable handset and since the Aura costs 2000 US dollars it gets all the more exciting.

Motorola Aura is the first handset in the world to feature a round 16M color LCD display. The one-off screen packs a diameter of 1.55 inches. While the size isn't spectacular, its resolution of 480 pixels in diameter definitely sounds impressive.

Motorola Aura revives the design of the already forgotten Motorola V70 and has a stainless steel housing which should be able to compete with the high-flying Nokia 8800 Arte phones. The assisted-opening blade mechanism with a Swiss-crafted main bearing is another construction highlight of the swivel (or rotator as Motorola called it) handset.

The Motorola Aura surface has a protective PVD coating and mirror polish finish (purportedly the same as the ones of luxury watches). The body of the device additionally sports chemically-etched textures and patterns to provide a one-off look.

As usual for an insanely expensive fashion phone the Motorola Aura get easily blown out of the water in terms of features even by some mid-range handsets. It has quad-band GSM support, 2 megapixel fixed focus camera as well as stereo Bluetooth and USB connectivity. There are also 2GB of internal memory and the Motorola proprietary CrystalTalk technology onboard.

another fella who look into specs.. haha...

if a user can pay USD2K for this phone, do u think that he/she really care for the features?? same goes to those ppl who own mercedes benz and hiring a driver for them.. do u think that he really care for the car performance?  think a little..

its about the status, outlook and fashion.. u can imagine paris hilton, beckham all these celebrities will be the first one who buy it.. smile.gif

btw, the specialty are the sapphire glass, rotating bearing mechanism, stainless steel made....
