To me, the word "luxury" and the word "Motorola" don't go together. But that's just my opinion ;)

Agreed... (well, maybe the RAZR 2 was kinda luxurious phone tho...)

Then again that's exactly why Motorola is announcing devices like these.

What Anomailies said. My opinion of Motorola went so low over the past few years that i would never consider purchasing ANY of their products. They will have to do something as extraordinary as Apple did with Iphone. im not a fan of it but i cant help but they they have the most fluid touch interface out there

Wow I hated the Touch interface on the Iphone.

I agree completely. However, this is the first luxury phone that really lives up to the name, in my opinion. While I would never spend $2000 on a phone, this one is the first i've seen that doesn't look like a diamond studded 70s tv remote. (I'm talking to you, Mobiado lol) If it wasn't made by Moto, and I crapped money, I may go for it. As is, I wouldn't plop down a benjamin for it.

this is an interesting phone, though it would be better if motorola upgraded their specs and added fm radio to it.

I wouldn't pay $2 for it... for $2000 they could at least throw in an FM radio... it probably has a 128x160 display and no SD card slot... haha

It does have an SD card slot, no clue on the display but the specs are promising

Wow.... Haha, I'm confused. Is the giant red bubble the screen?

I know that phones can be a fashion accessory, but that phone is just ugly. Sorry Motorola, I don't think luxury phones are your forte.

This phone looks cool. It is like th V70 of old. The screen is cool and the sapphire crystal is a pretty high end material

Who would pay $2000 for a V70 with a makeover? The V70 was worthless 5 years ago... Get with it Moto!

GOTTA SAY I'M NOT A BIG MOTO FAN, BUT AS FAR AS LOOKS AND INNOVATION GOES THIS IS SPOT ON. NOW IF IT WERE AN LG AND ON THE VERIZON NETWORK....I'D CARE A LITTLE BIT MORE.
