(Ok... so the volume up button went dead after it hit the floor once, but for that we got MagicKey!...)]]>Jan 2nd 2009 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/
what a joke phone... put at least a suretype keyboard on there, make it half as thin, and dump the 1990's OS that is s60 and call me in the morning]]>Jan 2nd 2009 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/
They can't just slap a SureType keypad on their phone; it's an RIM-patented technology.]]>Jan 2nd 2009 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/
However, the N95 had what I wanted most: 5mp camera & all the other smartphone things that Symbian offers.

This is a great looking phone. If it wasn't a feature phone (w/o features) I think it would have some appeal for the "totally stupid gadget freaks" out there (myself included) instead of the just "totally stupid".]]>Jan 2nd 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/

It's not targeting the guys here, who try and get the most for the least. ]]>Jan 2nd 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/Jan 2nd 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/
I only realized it after looking at the unboxing the second time: it's a ROUND display. No, not only a round face plate hiding a rectangle, but really a round display going to the corners of the center circle and I bet it looks pretty cool when you see it live...

It's the same like being the first to own an flat LCD monitor when everybody else has a fat CRT monitor. I paid around 1.500 Euro for a 15 inch LCD from NEC at that time and would do it again. Not sure if I would buy a moto phone though for that money...]]>Jan 2nd 2009 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/Jan 2nd 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/Jan 2nd 2009 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/Jan 2nd 2009 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/Jan 2nd 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/Jan 2nd 2009 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/motorola-aura-gets-unboxed/
