What's a Kin? Is it similar to the Zune HD? Only in sales numbers, you say?]]>Jul 19th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/confirmed-verizon-discontinues-kin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/confirmed-verizon-discontinues-kin/Jul 19th 2010 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/confirmed-verizon-discontinues-kin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/confirmed-verizon-discontinues-kin/Jul 19th 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/confirmed-verizon-discontinues-kin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/confirmed-verizon-discontinues-kin/Putting this thing on their new 9.99 data plan for featurephones would've rocked this think into the stratosphere.

It would've done far more than their current phones at that tier, for sure, but it would've been a perfect gateway device to smartphones, because it didn't do everything that a full-fledged Android device or iPhone did.

C'mon, we all know there was nothing perfect about this phone.

And regarding their supposed demographic? It didn't exist. Phone-buyers are quickly migrating into two camps: smartphones & cheaphones.

I think you need to read the story here on how the Kin fell apart, and who was involved, including Verizon who used a price structure not initial expected or warranted. Really - firing the MS CEO over one phone....I think that is a bit harsh. ]]>Jul 19th 2010 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/confirmed-verizon-discontinues-kin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/confirmed-verizon-discontinues-kin/Jul 19th 2010 11:11AM
