I still think it may have had potential, but an expensive data plan and not enough social features and built-in apps on the phone made this a fail from the start.]]>Jul 18th 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/verizon-halting-kin-sales-supply-getting-returned-to-sender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/verizon-halting-kin-sales-supply-getting-returned-to-sender/I think this would've had so much more potential on T-Mobile.

I can't imagine anyone in their right mind getting a kin over the slew of decent android phones on T mobile.

The real cause of death...was that the phones sucked. ]]>Jul 18th 2010 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/verizon-halting-kin-sales-supply-getting-returned-to-sender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/verizon-halting-kin-sales-supply-getting-returned-to-sender/
Make that the phones sucked because you couldn't download apps. And teens want to customize their phones with wallpaper, apps, games, and such. The Kin didn't allow for it, yet even an LG enV3 on the same network (Verizon) lets you download apps and games. ]]>Jul 18th 2010 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/verizon-halting-kin-sales-supply-getting-returned-to-sender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/verizon-halting-kin-sales-supply-getting-returned-to-sender/Jul 18th 2010 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/verizon-halting-kin-sales-supply-getting-returned-to-sender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/verizon-halting-kin-sales-supply-getting-returned-to-sender/but like everyone said if this was on a different network it would have survived.
