AURA in stock at Motorola store, still fiercely expensive

So the moment you and your second mortgage have been dreaming about is here -- though sadly, the price cut you might have wished for is not. For all those clamoring for the $2,000 AURA, Moto's store has it listed as in-stock and we've a sneaking suspicion that unlike the BlackBerry Storm, these aren't going to sell through in hours. So take your time, ponder just how many Xbox 360s, PS3s, or robots you could get instead, then, like we know you will, buy it and start showing it off.

Fashion phones aren't about being technological marvels, but being made of expensive and/or extravagant materials. i doubt many of the people who can afford this type of luxury also happen to have have a preferred phone OS anyways.

Why?

It is an ugly, non-connected device.
