Camera-centric Kodak Ektra arrives in the US; it's much cheaper than expected

Kodak's second foray into the smartphone market, the Ektra went on sale in Europe back in December. The Android handset was available across many European markets for no more than $525 outright.

When Kodak announced the Ektra, it didn't offer any details on the smartphone's available in the United States, although many believed that device will eventually arrive in other regions if it sold well in Europe.

However, early this year, Kodak confirmed the Ektra make its debut in the United States sometime in April. One month later than the deadline, the Kodak Ektra finally arrives in the US, as customers can pick this one up for just $399.

Kodak announced the Ektra will be available for purchase in the US for $549 back in January but has since decided to price it much lower to better compete with other mid-range Android phones.
