I think at the moment a kidney is going for about $4000, so selling a kidney probably won't get you the battery cover of the 'special' one.

These phones look nice, but are they any good for the price? I doubt we'd get them here in Australia, but I am definitely eager to get my mitts on of them.

Kinda looks like it could be a 6500 classic under the covers.

If u have some 1000000$ and dont know what you want to buy then buy this. especially with the economic global situation now.
I prefer Sendo..i dont like to show off because people will love the hand in your hand and hate you..there is many many more useful things to do with this money.

> In reply to NAT.A @ 2008-10-21 21:03 from 4xcwI reckon the guys here at GSMArena make sure they show us less Motorola phones as much as as they can. I agree the Moto AURA has much beauty, substance and sense than than these phones but they are announced here because they carry Nokia's S40 UI, that's why they opted this one over the Motorola, just like last time they did'nt announce the Moto Krave ZN4 for no reason. Is'nt GSMArena the place we should get everything concerning mobile phones? I hope the whole team is reading our posts to show us some fairness on the latest releases.

Ridiculous Excess! Gold? panels of Saphire? nice to see capitalism raising the stakes again with a gaudy phone made from peversely exaggerated materials that scoff at the impoverished state of the world. many can't eat, some have saphire phones. disgusting. I'm sure Paris Hilton has 7 already.

> In reply to haha @ 2008-10-21 20:18 from Ydg}It's true - these phones are a divider of the have and have nots: those who have to good sense not to waste their money on these silly and pretentious phones, and those who do not.

All the people who pooh pooh the phone obviously can't afford it! It's more than a phone, it is a status symbol, a divider of have, have-nots, and have-a-whole-lot!

i think these phones look great
u should realize that not everyone has the same taste in style

are phones made by this company outrageously expensive??? otherwise why state that it will cost a kidney if there is no pricing available yet?

very tacky, looks like it was designed in downtown brooklyn by some aspiring wannabe rapper in a fake adidas tracksuit.
