Rumor: MotoAura cannot be passed on

According to rumors Motorola wants to block resales of Motorola with contracts.

The recently announced Motorola Aura, having a round display, will never appear on auction sites according to rumors. Register Hardware has reported that Motorola will have exclusive contracts with all buyers of Aura, which will block them to resell the handset, specifying that a used Aura can only be bought back by Motorola. The rumor has not yet been confirmed by Motorola, and it is not yet sure if the manufacturer can legally have such contracts. The reason for such a contract is evident. If a handset doesn't appear on auction sites, its price can be kept at 2.000 USD for a long time, which makes it extremely exclusive and it would also make the phone generate huge profits.
