Microsoft Kin One Review

We finally got our hands on a Kin One, and my previous statement of I like the Kin Two more than the Kin One is now false!

I absolutely love the form factor of the phone. It feels good in the hand. I may not love the button layout on the sides of the device, but the 2.5-inch screen is no problem to me, and the software again, is something new and fresh, but still has miles to improve to get my vote of this is the best phone on Verizon Wireless. Currently if you ask me what phone should I get on Verizon Wireless, my answer would be the HTC Incredible, whenever it comes out of back order.

The Kin OS is a little like MotoBlur, but revamped in every single way, and sometimes taken down a notch. Using this phone as a sole purpose of a social networking device both won and failed. For the winning, this phone is excellent in giving you the latest of what you’re friends are doing, either if it’s on FaceBook, Twitter, or whatever is available.

I am a big Twitter person and the fact of not being able to read my direct messages just ruins my parade on this phone. It doesn’t give you the full functions of the app on iPhone or Android, or even PalmOS. Microsoft has always been one of the disappointing companies in the mobile world, but they seem like they are getting there. Slowly, but surely.

Overall I think this is up to you. It depends on what you are looking for in a phone. I would highly suggest you watch reviews of this phone and the Kin Two.
