The Motorola Aura Celestial Edition is the mobile maker’s fancy-pants, super-pricey handset, but with a splash of a luna makeover. Why? To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moon landing.
UPDATE: We’ve contacted both sellers, asking whether the buyer would be at risk if they bought the handset. The US seller replied quite quickly that no, there would be no problem…you do not have to sign any papers…you can do whatever you want with the phone.
Moto’s not too keen on its exclusive phones being sold off on the cheap – it’s just introduced a legal contract for new owners, ensuring second hand Aura handsets don’t appear on eBay once you’re tired of it and fancy getting a bit of the $2,000 price tag back.
Motorola has seen the future and it’s bling. Even today, as the credit crunch officially becomes a recession, there seems to be no end to the market for luxury mobiles. After all, those bankers still have bonuses to spend. But what shape should Motorola’s new Aura high-end handset take? I know, the designers said, let’s dust off the design for the old V70 and tart it up a bit. (Hint: the Aura’s the one on the left.)
