If you thought Pure and Turtle were weird phone names, Microsoft’s official version goes weirder. They have named the first Pink phones as KIN ONE and KIN TWO. Keeping the names aside, the KIN ONE is a small slider phone that sports a full QWERTY keypad. The phone’s designed pretty much like the Pre and features a touchscreen display, 5MP camera with LumiLED flash, mono speakers, integrated Zune media player (complete with Zune Pass, Marketplace) and 4GB of internal memory.
The KIN TWO ups the ante with a wider touchscreen display, horizontal sliding QWERTY keyboard, 8MP camera with LumiLED flash, HD video recording support, 8GB internal memory and Zune media player (.
Undoubtedly, the phones revolve around social networking. With KIN Loop and Spot users will be able to share content, receive updates from friends and do much more. KIN Studio is a service that will allow users to backup all their multimedia content on the cloud.
The phone will be available in U.S. in May via Verizon Wireless whereas will hit Germany, Italy, Spain and UK in autumn, courtesy Vodafone.
Two more great phones by the software giant. I think while the phones that are develop now-a-days are all great, the difference between being great and winning over customers are the additional features like apps, being able to connect them to your car, etc. and in my opinion, Apple is still way ahead of the pack.
