In case you missed PocketPCThoughts!
Pocket PC Italia has just revealed a bit of information on the HTC Wizard. Although it is subject to change, here's the buzz: Windows Mobile 5.0, GSM/GPRS (with EDGE) - Quad-Band 850/900/1800/1900MHz, a Texas Instruments OMAP 850 processor (interesting choice?), 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, a 2.8" QVGA display, Bluetooth, 802.11b Wi-Fi (rejecting earlier reports of this device having 802.11g), IR, a 2.1MP integrated camera with Flash LED, dual speakers, a QWERTY keyboard, mini-USB, and a miniSD slot. Here's a Google translation if you need it.
Yeah, it looks kinda fake, and I personally think it looks so IPAQ, but I don't care as long as it is an HTC device...
What do you guys think about it in case it's in fact true?
Yeah, it looks a bit fake, but the concept with the landscape keyboard is cool! I always miss my Keyboard while surfing in landscape mode. Landscape Keyboards have the advantage of leaving more space for the keys. I'd like to see it in this way.
But i've read of two devices: Wizard (without keyboard) and Galaxy (with keyboard).
no 3g or video conference though :/
nice that it have a blizt but it's bound to be a stealer of minuts
Nice specs, BUT:
-Mini-SD? What? Why? This doesn't make any sense. Why not SDIO?
- TI OMAP 850? That thing runs on 200 MHz. So then we have a device with integrated Wifi, but no way Skype can run on 200 MHz.
Seems HTC made a little error in the specs, hope they correct this and turn out a killer device.
BTW: of course no 3G, or the Universal would be in trouble in terms of sales. If this Wizard/Galaxy had 3G as well, what would there be for the Universal to compete on? Bigger, more expensive, but with the same specs and a less MP camera?
faster cpu and sdio and more ram and bigger screen
this device was ment to be a replacement for magic to limit the stuff to make it small
and it's not like other phone companies ever narrowed their range so they only had one 3g device
there are other things to change between devices then the network they are using like the specs you dont care for....
Are you guys sure there's no 3G? Note the camera lens upfront the device.. Only 3G phones have that..
the specs say EDGE
which is pretty much 2.5G
have yet to see any phones supporting both EDGE and 3g
and if it did i guess they would state it as specs
its looks ok, but it better have a fast processor, and a sdio slot? else it may be useless to me.
I found this one as the htc wizard :
The rumor that broke about this last week wasn’t particularly reliable, so we exercised an unusual amount of restraint (for us at least, since we are total gossip hounds) and didn’t publish anything, but a pic and some plausible details have surfaced on Howard Forums about the HTC Wizard. This one is supposed to be HTC’s new smallish Pocket PC Phone that’s about the same size as the HTC Magician/i-mate JAM/XDA II mini and have quad-band GSM, EDGE, 802.11g, Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, and a QVGA quality, 320 x 240 pixel LCD screen. Will supposedly be out in Q3 of this year, possibly OEM’d by HP.

It looks yucky....I'm not gonna be swayed from my Universal!!!!
I've been looking for a new phone to replace my TyTn II.
Specs I'm looking for,
1GHz Snapdragon or equilviant.
micro-SD memory expansion
Slide-Out keyboard with touch screen
HSPA 850/1900
GSM 850/900/1900/2100 - Prefer Quad band HSPA, but I have not seen any phones that offer this yet
Windows Mobile 6.1+ Preferably an official upgrade to 7.
The Sony X1 and X2 are close, along with the HTC Touch Pro2...
Does anybody know of a phone that fits this?
Thanks for your time,
Kevin

Can you provide some information about the company? Link to their site?
never heard about them, it sounds to me like a BS.
Motorola for ever
What's everyone's take on this? Personally I love taking photos, but is all that gear worth the photo with how good Android's high end phones like the pixel take photos?
Let me know what you think.

It isn't. Adslr, no lens reflex. Just a medocre camera, and phone with the name Kodak plastered on it.
Yeah I didn't mean to put that in the title lol
I have this phone and the camera is good. It's not great however, the Pixel's camera is still unmatched.
You have to keep in mind that this is a mid-tier device. That being said, the processor is amazing. It handles just about everything that you throw at it.
The lense is mostly cosmetic. The device is supposed to take its design cues from the 1943 Kodak Ektra camera and I think it's a pretty good execution.
It' freaking huge! Lay it down flat, on the lens because that's the only way and do the same with a Nexus 6P, the Ektra is 2.5 times wider. Also, my Nexus has a Toast wooden skin on it. Without the skin, I imagine the Ektra would be 3 times the width as the Nexus.
That being said, It's still a capable device and this is by no means a full review. If you like taking photos, the Ektra has a dedicated shutter button. It's more of a novelty phone than a contender to other devices, which is fine. If you like the Kodak brand then it might be for you
Yea I agree. I wasn't looking for this phone, but was up late this Cyber Monday 2017. Best Buy had it for $99! I can try it out for $99! It's definitely a device to add to my collection
It's hard to beat for $99.99 especially for an unlocked phone. I ordered one myself on Cyber Monday.
I usually get an AnTuTu score of 86,000 - 88,000. It covers ALL of the AT&T LTE Bands which are currently Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz), Band 5 (850 MHz), and Band 17 (700 MHz). It also covers all of the T-Mobile LTE Bands which are Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz), and Band 12 (700 MHz).
The Kodak Camera App is a little on the slow side sometimes, but OpenCamera works well and supports the shutter button on the Kodak Ektra.
Now it is back to $399.99 on Best Buy's website:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/kodak-...-phone-unlocked-black/5884209.p?skuId=5884209
Here it is on Kodak's website:
https://www.kodak.com/us/en/Consumer/Products/EKTRA/default.htm
Here are a couple of reviews. I like reading a first impression review, and then a long term review by the same user; in this case a photographer:

https://www.thephoblographer.com/2017/09/08/review-kodak-ektra-smartphone-android/
The main things I like about this phone are that it has very little bloatware on it, that it is mostly pure Android, and that it has pretty good camera hardware. It may not have the best camera, but definitely better than most.
Hi. Did you get android 7 at least, with the last update, or., Is it still android 6?
Thanks.
In Germany the two biggest electronic outlets, MediaMarkt and Saturn are currently selling it for 95€, which is a great price for a Phone with FHD Display, 3 GB Ram and 32GB Memory. Unfortunally there probably will never be a clean custom rom due to the damn MediaTek Prozessor
It's presently on sale on B&H for $99.99 (it was $149.99 when I posted this):

And did someone find a way ? Need Root too . I test so many OneClick-Root Apps & Programs but no way it's a so nice phone and I love the clean Android 6 ( so no custom ROM needed on this phone ) but Root is very important on Android
Hope someone find a way to do that and make this phone perfekt
Ektra Root
I am also looking to root my Ektra. Have you had any luck?
Nope . I don't find a way to Root this Phone I've got only adaware on my PC from the RootKHP Program xD
