Windows Mobile is all about business and secure communications. It supports certificates, domain enrollment, teathering, flawless Exchange sync, etc.

Now they're trying to take a business-centric phone and make it teen-hip. This is a huge marketing blunder on their part.

Or a marketing AWESOME...

So this is their "Starter Edition", Windows Phone 7 is their "Ultimate". 😛 So we wait for their Basic and Home Premiums. 😛

I thought I was reading an archived website of tomsguide.com (read: 1974) when Microsoft invented the Kin *twins* rotary hand-held phones.. but no.. sadly it's dated April 12, 2010.

Did the freaking creator just get out of Kindergarten? Kin 1 and Kin2, that’s like Dr Sues’ thing 1 and thing 2 and they looked better than these ugly things.

M$ is freaking stupid if they think these will sell. Unfortunately you will see how many stupid people there really are when they start buying them.

ugly as sin

cmon microsoft...you're much better than this. Make a real Windows mobile 7, and make a phone that looks better than the average piece of crap. in fact, i want it better looking than the iPhone. cuz this is just ridiculous

Palm called, they want their phone back. 😛

Pretty sure the Kin One looks identical to the Motorola QA1...better known as Karma. There goes the link:

Microsoft needs to invest a little bit on their phone's design.

Hehe! Now its coming into crash...

I dunno, I like the look of the One. It's different to the usual shit from Sony/Nokia/Samsung et al.

I had a phone made by Sharp several years ago. Very nice phone, solidly made.

it is a piece of crap. i had it for two weeks and i had to return it because it told me i had no network connection and i couldn't use the loop most of the time because it wouldn't except my email... i had the kin two. both are horrible phones i'd say.
