This is the the much-rumored 5 megapixel camera phone from Motorola with the Kodak lens. This is a slider phone running on the MOTOMAGX Linux platform.












In terms of specs, the device is a quad-band EDGE phone, has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 100MB of internal memory, microSD slot, and a “ROKR” type touch wheel which also serves as the 5-way navigational pad.

I kind of think the Kodak thing was a hoax and so many people believed it that they now think it has to be true... I mean, this device doesn't say Kodak on it anywhere, and you'd think that if they were utilising Kodak technology, then it would be screaming it out loud! This would be advertising for the phone and more people would buy it! And Motorola certainly need people to buy their phones...

So seeing this doesn't say Kodak, I won't believe it til I see it.

No one understands what they're thinking for the past 2 years.
To top it off this phone looks horrible and why are they still using this flat keyboard design in almost all of their devices? (Moto really needs to come up with some new designs.)

Lol nice one MOTO, a Kodak "Camera phone" with no Autofocus, man there is ALWAYS something missing in their phones, for example the recently released Multimedia Z10 phone has everything except Wi-Fi and a bigger screen, now a Camera phone with 5mp with no AF?
All i can say is. . . ATLEAST they dont make cars, otherwise we would get an SUV with FW drivetrain, a Supercar with no aerodynamics, and a sedan with 4doors and 2seats.

It's Kodak that is trying to revive their old film-based Instamatic cameras...

Gizmodo nailed it with their comment about fixed focus and EDGE:

Someone's going to have some good times uploading blurry pictures over a slow connection when this is released.

What Oli seems to forget is that branding comes AFTER the prototype stage.

K800/790a leaked photos did NOT have Cybershot on it.
K750i leaked photos did NOT have QuickShare on it either. Many ppl thought that area for for LARGE branding.

I'd expect if this was Kodak collaboration with Motorola, then branding would come after the prototype stage, and this SHOULD have AutoFocus. Yet I WILL agree with Oli that this is NOT what was hyped over a year ago as part of that collaboration between the two company's.

I like the navi-wheel, and pray that choose to use it in an improved form.

Well lets hope that it has af for all the moto fans that are planning to buy this phone. I like it's back, the front is not appealing at all...
