Microsoft KIN ONE and KIN TWO get a release date and price
The rumors have turned out true, as Microsoft and Verizon Wireless have now officially announced the release timing and pricing for the social-centric, QWERTY-equipped KIN ONE and KIN TWO. However, a slight change has occurred, as the KINs won't be available online for pre-order on May 6, but for purchase. Yep, you heard that right, you'll be able to order the KIN ONE or TWO on May 6 through Verizon's online store. Verizon Wireless Communication Stores will be offering the two kind of Windows phones, starting May 13.

The turtle-like Microsoft KIN ONE can be yours for $49.99, while the KIN TWO will have a price tag of $99.99, both after a $100 mail-in rebate and with a new two-year service agreement.

And just in case you've missed all the previous info on these phones, check out the articles below, if you want to get acquainted with these wonders of modern socialization:

I hope they're built well. Teenagers + new phone + summer = a lot of work for techs and Asurion

did the training on these yesterday. they look and feel like happy meal toys. the OS is messy and looks like a disaster. not looking forward to these devices...

Yea, I can see this being messy with the home page having like 8 different blocks and showing all different things, ahaha Though the "KIN button" is a nice feature for sharing things, it seems to be hard to drag and drop into that tiny "hole".

I dunno. I got to check the kin 2 out about 45 days ago (before it was official) and I was largeyly impressed with it. Solid web browser, great music interface. I do agree that a good number of people will likely be put off bythe jumbles appearance of the home screens, but imho its going to be a really rad platform.

Zuno Gyakusatsu. You signed a non disclosure with Verizon Wireless. I would keep that information to yourself until launch date.

Really? How would you know that he is even speaking of experience. Nothing he said can't be construed from half the replies off of the web. Don't waste the forum space please.

non disclosure agreements pertain to releasing confidential information regarding products. now explain to me how i am in any way violating such agreements? pointing out how these devices completely lack appeal even to facebook addicted children is nothing more than my opinion.

It is a good looking device but being the first production of this phone I think its gonna need work before its actually user friendly. I'll keep my eye on it and see what happens through updates. Cause I am a Zune fan..

7. numberonenygfan posted on 05 May 2010, 14:45

aaand you are the only zune fan lmao

Actually the Zune HD is a really solid device. I don't know why they didn't go for a design like that, and an interface similar to it. Bit disappointing because, this does .. as #2 said, look like a happy meal toy. Teens today are looking for the nicest looking devices out there. Hell, most of them have blackberries now. I could see the KINs being innovative a few years ago, but nowadays it just won't hold up.

lol ok so two peple have zunes lol congrats

Actually most tech-y people either have Zune HDs or have spoken of them in great regard. And all that leaves is one immature poster on phonearena.
