Russian site Mobile-review has photos and specs of a never-released Motorola phone dubbed Ivory. This premium handset is a slim slider developed in conjunction with the Aura, another luxury handset (reviewed here), and was supposed to come in steel, gold and platinum versions with its price running as high as tens of thousands of US dollars.

The Ivory seems longer than other slide-out phones and has a two-phase mechanism which first exposes the controls, followed by the numeric keypad upon further extension. According to the report, it was dropped because of lack of interest from operators. Unsurprising given the current economic climate.
