It’s about time Motorola got into the luxury phone line and this is what they have to show for it. Roll out the red carpet for the Motorola AURA, highlighted by a 130 precision ball bearings to assist the phone’s slider function. Other meticulous design elements include a 62 carat sapphire crystal for the lens for scratch resistance and a main Swiss made bearing in the middle of the phone for “seamless sliding.”

I must admit. Words like “swiss made” and “ball bearings” do make me curious, and I can’t help but salivate. But what about the technical specs? The Motorola AURA comes with a 2MP fixed focus camera and video, Bluetooth, Crystal Talk technology, and EDGE. No WiFi or HSDPA for this little baby, but who cares!
