Microsoft Kin One Vs Two
Microsoft is back with a bang! And what a spectacular entry it had made with two of its most awaited phones i.e. Microsoft Kin One and Microsoft Kin Two. As a matter of fact, known by the name of project Pink Slider phones, Microsoft Kin series have been launched with the aim to salvage the declining market of Microsoft phones. It is an attempt to revive its image which is lagging behind since the advent of Apple iPhones. Both these phones although similar on many grounds including the software and new applications differ in the upgradations for certain features.
Both the phones boast of QVGA touch screen display with full QWERTY keypads. These phones are designed targeting the social media needs of the younger generation. The operating system for both Kin One and Kin Two is the same as that of the Windows 7 phone. One more interesting fact about Microsoft Kin series is that it is available exclusively with Verizon wireless network in US.
