People here argued that it was for kids or teenagers but teenagers nowadays go for cool looking phones, a la droids, iPhone and BB. So I don't know what they were thinking about when they designed this thing. Make Zune a phone and you'll have limitless adoring fans!

not me, $30 a month data plan when you can easily get a iphone or android phone just spells failure for your product.]]>Jun 30th 2010 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/microsoft-kin-is-dead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/microsoft-kin-is-dead/
sales are shit because this phone costs the same per month as a droid. it was dumb for the carriers to try and milk $30 data plans from these phones designed for tweens.

No, seriously, *everyone* knew this was a bad idea from day one.

A collective "I SAID IT FIRST" is echoing throughout the blogosphere. This thing was a massive fail on launch. Their "extensive research" seems to be a bit flawed.

I'd expect the same research mechanics to have gone into WP7, which will only succeed because it's MS's only option in the mobile space, unlike the Kins.]]>Jun 30th 2010 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/microsoft-kin-is-dead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/microsoft-kin-is-dead/Jun 30th 2010 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/microsoft-kin-is-dead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/microsoft-kin-is-dead/

It's ok though. They're going to sell off the exist phones, and that'll take years.
