Motorola has always been committed to new things and technological developments, and so it's not surprising to have the world's first luxury phone with a round display from the manufacturer. MOTOAURA is the spiritual successor of Motorola V70, announced in 2002, having a similarly rotateable form factor. The 1.55" display, having a diameter of 480 pixels, is protected by 62 karats of sapphire crystals and the menu system tries to make the most out of the screen, but it still provides a conventional 240 x 320 pixels large display mode for Java applications. The handset, made of 700 components, has 200 Swiss gears and ball bearings taking care of a smooth opening of the cover. Motorola AURA, equipped with a 2 megapixel camera, 2 GB of internal memory, stereo Bluetooth and 7.3 hours of talk time is 96.87 x 47.6 x 18.5 mm large, weighs 141 grams and it can be preordered on the manufacturer's site with shipping in December at a price of $1999 USD. Additional information is available on the Motorola AURA site.
