Motorola Aura

Motorola has made a limited edition phone. Costing over a grand you'd expect it to have some hi-tech smarts on board, but beneath its admittedly stylish casing, this is actually a very basic handset, with just a 2-megapixel camera, and no 3G or Wi-Fi, no document readers or push email - no memory expansion even.

This is a phone with a rotating top section that flips round 180 degrees to reveal the keyboard. The mechanism can be seen under a viewing hatch on the backplate and it looks rather like the innards of a watch thanks to its cogs. It boasts a Swiss-made main bearing and apparently more than 200 parts are involved in the opening mechanism, including 130 ball bearings.

But is it worth all that money?
