Motorola AURA swivels onto the scene


Motorola announced the AURA today, a throwback design to its V70 cell phone from many years ago. The unique swivel design of the Motorola AURA is facilitated by 130 precision ball bearings, with a central Swiss-made main bearing that offers a supposed smooth-as-butter swivel motion.

The Motorola AURA also features a 2 megapixel camera and 2GB of internal storage to store your photos in. The 1.5" diameter circular display is also an industry first, capable of displaying 16 million colors with 300 DPI resolution. Bluetooth 2.0 is on board, with A2DP support for stereo headsets, as well.

The Motorola AURA is set to be available in Q4 2008, though pricing details were not announced.
