Get the new Motorola AURA for just an arm and a leg
But wait, there’s plenty more where that came from. With stainless steel housing, the world’s first 16 million color, circular display, and over 700 other individual components, the quad-band GSM 4.97 oz. AURA is not messing around.
If that’s not quite enough to garner your attention, maybe Motorola’s own marketing jabber will:
AURA
by Motorola is a timeless, classically designed device that delivers a sensory experience that is second-to-none for those with refined taste. Combining an exquisite interface with superb craftsmanship inspired by high-end watches, AURA breaks convention and re-establishes artistry in the design and manufacturing of mobile devices. From the moment an AURA owner picks up his or her device they embark on a journey of discovery.
One could argue that releasing the company’s most expensive mobile phone to date during a worldwide economic downturn is just plain silly, but then again, anyone looking to buy a $2,000 handset probably isn’t terribly concerned one way or another. And really, can you even put a price tag on “The Return of Artistry”?
According to the official Motorola store site, AURA’s key features include:
- World’s first circular display on a mobile phone, 16 million color
- Chemically-etched textures and patterns
- Three tungsten carbon carbide coated main gears
- The main bearing is Swiss-made
