Make this Aura your dream phone

Nov 21, 2008 by FN's Shar Bareng

Unlike most phones, Aura takes the shape of round, luxury watches, coupled with a Swiss-made rotating mechanism. Just like luxury watches, Aura is made of stainless steel etched with textures and patterns that take two weeks to sculpt, etch, and polish. Its camera lens is even crafted from 62-carat scratch-resistant sapphire crystals.
 
Even the act of opening the phone has a different feel. Swinging the front piece feels more like opening a luxury car door, while turning the phone over reveals a window into its mechanical heart.

Yet its unique look does not sacrifice functionality, as Motorola incorporates its CrystalTalk technology into each unit, which enables clear reception even in noisy environments. Aura also comes with Stereo Bluetooth, which allows users to make and take calls hands-free when used with a compatible headset.

See how unique Aura looks in the gallery below.
