Kodak Ektra

With a big bulky grip and an even bigger camera module, the Kodak Ektra may not be the sleekest or the most powerful phone, but it's still pretty charming.

The Kodak Ektra is a unique smartphone that doubles as a solid point-and-shoot camera at an affordable price, but don't expect it to match up to more traditional devices in either regard.

A smartphone for photography with only a mediocre camera? The Kodak Ektra slips up in its most important discipline and adds a dim, low-contrast display, as well as weak battery life. Sadly, the cult brand will not resurrect this way.
