Are you the kinds longing to own a luxury phone? Well, there is the Vertu or the Gresso, both of which are completely out of budget for the common man. Then there is also the Aura, but even that is bound to set back your bank balance considerably. Motorola has had something else up their sleeve for a while now, and that is the Ivory E18, a slider with a small footprint and 3MP camera.

The price of this stainless steel beauty was set around €2000 or about $2800 plus. The company also planned a parallel release of gold and platinum chassis of the phone, which it expected, would help it spin great profits. Sadly, this was not to be. Carriers didn’t show too much of an interest in such an extremely highly-priced, extravagant phone and so, Moto simply scrapped the whole idea of a luxury phone. What a pity, right, folks? We only get to drool over the pic below and no more….
