We can't remember the last time we purchased a phone because it possessed 700+ individual components, a stainless steel housing or a front plate that takes a fortnight to create, but Motorola's hoping you start to care about that kind of minutiae right about now. The admittedly gorgeous AURA (previously coined V70) is the world's first handset with a 16-million color circular display, and aside from making / receiving calls with the utmost clarity, it also boasts a Swiss-made main bearing, 62-carat sapphire crystal lens, a 2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, microUSB port, quad-band GSM connectivity, a microSD card slot, multimedia player and up to 7.3-hours of talk time (400-hours in standby). The 4.97-ounce handset is available exclusively from the MOTO STORE for $1,999.99, with pre-orders shipping out beginning December 4th. Who's in?

[R^7Z]

with THAT price tag i would rather use it as a down payment for a nice house! or a decent fix-er-upper of the current one you live in :D lol

[GrasaMan]

Moto did it again! Awesome!

:dj:

Its about making phones differently!

I wish I could afford one. In my country that already costs
PhP 100,000++ taxes not yet included and shipping!

hope santa has a very large budget this year for me and give me one of thi otherwise i wont have one in a long time

[[With Teeth]]

this is not impressive. it is a cool phone. but any company can make an incredible expensive phone, that lacks features, and then charge about 200 times the price it costs them to make it.

Gonna surface with the Back Alley Ograns carrier, where you have to pay for the phone and a contract with a kidney or half of your liver ;)

[kn100]

$2000!! in 6 months it will be free with 3 year contract!..Lol

No seriously, i want this phone so bad, its so damn sexy. Why couldn't motorola have released this phone for something like 400 dollars, it would have been a massive hit. there arent many rotary phones out and this thing has oodles of style
