Motorola Aura

Monday, January 12th, 2009

This phone isn’t new to the market, but it is such a sharp looking phone that it was deemed blog worthy. The look of this phone definitely makes up for the weak functionality. The housing material, build quality, keys, assisted-opening blade mechanism, and sapphire crystal lens are all perfectly done, the display — while admittedly tiny — is nothing short of completely stunning. The only down side to this phone is the price tag.
