Motorola unveils Aura Diamond Edition

Motorola has revealed a new diamond-studded version of its luxury Aura handset. The Aura is pretty expensive in its standard incarnation, costing a princely £1250 sim-free.

The Aura Diamond Edition, complete with 34 diamonds, a sapphire crystal and made of 18-carat gold, will set you back £3500. Suitably then, you’ll have to head over to Harrods or one of a handful of jewellers if you want to indulge in the massive expenditure the Aura Diamond Edition demands.

However, if you’re after a sensible, feature-packed mobile, we probably wouldn’t recommend it. It’s only got a 2-megapixel camera, and uses a mind-boggling circular screen that measures 480 pixels diameter. Still, if you’re looking for a phone that no one you know has and will get jaws dropping – primarily because of its price – you might want to saunter down to Harrods soon.

And no, it doesn’t have an app store.
