It’s a shame that Verizon has priced the data plan for the KIN the same as smartphones because that’s not what it is. It’s a feature phone. In the same category as the LG eNv or the T-mobile Sidekick. When compared with those, it’s great. It does some clever things like showing all your social network feeds in one place. The e-mail syncs with multiple e-mail accounts from different providers. Activities are categorized like the upcoming Windows Phone 7. Lots of neat hidden extras.
Another marketing mistake is aiming this at young 20-somethings. One of the best features is unlimited photos because every picture is backed up to a private website, the KIN Studio. You can review and download high-res version later. That’s the perfect phone for parents.
Speaking of, the KIN Studio is amazing feature that should be imitated by more phones and carriers. It keeps a record of everything you’ve done on the phone. Every call, every text message. Great for reviewing meetings or events.

I bought this when it came out and was fascinated by it but took it back because of the prohibitive cost from Verizon. Now that it’s dead I bought it again and will pay anything. This is a glimpse into Windows Phone 7 and a glimpse of something even greater that just ain’t gonna happen. But there is nothing at all like it on the market. And for that it deserves my god**mn $70 a month for 2 years…
