Motorola AURA to sell on a burn-after-using basis

04 Nov, 2008
Some leaked information suggested that the Motorola AURA will be sold along with a contract that forbids the second hand reselling of the highly expensive device. In an attempt to preserve the exclusiveness...

    Anonymous, 06 Nov 2008"best voice quality" haha - this is just a chip dude - just... moreSo why all other manufacturers, some with handsets costing more than US$700 (if not US$900 for Americans), be "generous" enough to put such chip in their handsets to improve the voice quality?

    Instead, certain brand (especially its bar-shaped phones) is famous for capturing all the background noise so the person's voice can't be heard?

                    who is managing this company? he should be fired and kicked hard because he's making dumb decisions one after another - motorola is sinking because of one or some dumb people in business suits. this company is like an apotheosis of the global economy declination.

                        This is the dumbest policy ever. The same thing applies if I buy a Bentley and I am free to dispose of it to whoever I deem fit. Moto's accelerating its EOL process.

                          I know why...

                          1. use normal quality material for the phone -> low cost.
                          Can earn back the cost with just selling a few units.

                          2. How to make people buy?
                          Make an agreement like .. cannot sell the unit after purchase.
                          Those who hate the agreement will purposely buy the unit and sell off to prove to Motorola that their so call "agreement" is worthless.

                          This is a win win situation for them.
                          -earn money with low cost high return.
                          -promote the unit... cause Motorola is the first to implement such rules and everyone else are paying notice and so eagerly to comment on it and spreading the news for them.

                          hehe just kidding.. sorry.

                            this device is good but not the best!2000$ is so expensive for a device like this!so it's reasonable AURA can't compare with other luxurious brands like Nokia 8800 series or Vertu models.it's worth is only about 600$

                                  I wonder what's running in mind of those people behind motorola aura.
                                  im not so sure if they just wanted to waste profits of producing this phone.
