The KIN phones will debut with Verizon wireless and will be manufactured by Sharp. Verizon is planning to launch two plans - $ 39.99 a month Nationwide Talk plan and the second a wireless email and web service for $29.99
Features of KIN one include 5 megapixel camera, 4 GB storage while KIN two’s features include 8 megapixel camera and an 8 GB storage. Both the models have a built in media player which is run by Microsoft’s zune software.
The KIN phones have been designed with a focus on networking and socializing and might not be an attractive proposition for professionals.
