Motorola Aura: MOTOBLNG?

When you're a phone manufacturer on the verge of going bankrupt, what's the best recipe for success? If you answered "design a $1999 phone," then congratulations: you're right! Motorola's fortunes in the past couple of years have fallen considerably, in part due to some pretty lackluster cell phones. But in its latest attempt to jumpstart its device portfolio, the company released the Aura, a highest-of-the-highest end swiveling handset with a price tag of $1999.

The Aura is meant to exude style and luxury, and it certainly accomplishes that feat. There's a lot of quality materials used here: 62 carat sapphire crystal, tungsten-carbide coated gears, stainless steel frame, nickel-chrome plated screws.

Like most luxury handsets, the Aura opts for a simple feature list, including a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP supported), and 2 gigabytes of internal memory (no external).
