Motorola Aura Range Gains Motorola Aura Diamond Edition [Gold Plated, Diamond Set Aura Available Now, Costs a Packet]

We’ve never been particular fans of blinged-out cell phones here at TFTS (on the whole, they just strike us in the main as wholly crass) but if we could get over out hang-ups, and we could justify spending a small fortune on a phone, then the newly announced Motorola Aura Diamond Edition – which follows on from the previously featured standard Motorola Aura and Motorola Aura Celestial Edition – would probably be the luxury phone we’d opt for – though we’d much a platinum or titanium version rather than gold (I have, as regular readers will know, a hate campaign for all things gold other than white gold for some inexplicable reason).

Sporting an 18 carat gold shell encrusted with 34 diamonds, the quad-band GSM/EDGE Motorola Aura Diamond Edition other than its highly distinctive design, offers little in the way of particularly impressive features with the device’s most notable features being stereo Bluetooth connectivity, its touting of CrystalTalk technology, 2GB of internal memory and a 2 megapixel (no, seriously) camera, none of which exactly jumps out as being particularly inspiring, considering what the device will set you back should you want to pop one of these in your pocket. Indeed, all in all, it’s a classic case of style over substance if ever there was one.

The Motorola Aura Diamond Edition has just been made available to purchase today and will set you back a cool £3,500 (circa $5,730/ €3,815 as at the time of writing).
