i found the commercials on youtube last night.

one has a guy taking a photo under his shirt and sending it to a girl and the other is about a guy stalking a girl on facebook whom she later meets. how either of those would entice someone to buy a kin, i do not know.

phonescoop did a review and basically had absolutely nothing good to say, at all.

But worst of all, the Kin Two can't even nail the basics. Making calls is difficult, and calls sound terrible. Reception and battery life are a mixed bag, mostly full of coal.

I'll make this simple. Buy something else.


and what's with not having instant messaging on a phone aimed at teenagers? even the twitter app was crippled. did they really expect that it would sell??
