Motorola AURA -- the $2000 cell phone

[Ricardo Gil]

I think for $2000 people would like to see better than a 2mp camera. :p If that and Bluetooth were the two features they want to label this phone is having, that is laughable.

No they wouldn't, they probably don't even know what you're talking about. This isn't a phone for power users, it's only for style and status.

[iamwhoiam]

For $2000 they better polish more than that sapphire-crystal lens. :p

???

What wasn't clear to you in my wording? I'd prefer to hang out with this phone on my side, rather than this:

:D

Yoy can make nicer phones made from plastic.

Still beats that "I am rich" iphone application thingy.

well, at least this is a tangible object you could hold in your hands... it makes people actually dislike you, not laugh at you like if you had the 'i am rich' app on your iphone

This is just like the Nokia 8800, and that flopped. This will do even worse thanks to the recession and the advances in technology. The 8800 was only slightly behind, but the AURA is literally an ice age behind!

LOL, what? Everyone and their dad had the 8800.

Balls did they!

The cheapest version you can buy in shops now is the 8800 Arte. You have to sign up to a ?35 a month 18 month contract, but you also have to pay ?430 for the handset! Makes the iPhone look like the bargain of the decade! And if you want a black one, you have to get the 8800 Carbon Arte, and good luck with that one, because you have to pay ?530 for the handset!
