Earlier this year, the Kodak Ektra smartphone was announced and photographers looked on with curiosity. The Kodak Ektra is manufactured by Kodak--you know, the same company that makes fantastic film.
And so the inspiration for the Ektra was to be revolutionary in the same way that the Ektra camera was years ago. The Kodak Ektra was the first film camera with a manual film advance on it according to Kodak, and so they were trying to bring back a sense of that spirit with the new phone. On that idea, the phone isn't designed for the uber-hipster techie that doesn't believe themselves to be a hipster, but instead it's designed for the creative hipster--you know, the stereotypical one that you'd say is one but is actually just on a different creative level than lots of people are. Take for example Thomas Leuthard, who has been using the phone to great success. . thephoblographer.com
