Microsoft is the name we can rely on (to some extent of course), and as we have this feeling for Microsoft, it is quite obvious that we have to take a look at the Microsoft smartphone: the Microsoft Kin One.
If you’ve seen the commercials, you know the Kin line of phones is all about social networking. The Kin One allows users to view Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other social networking accounts in one screen, with updates from you and your friends visible in a list format. Great!
There’s also a screen for favorites and a screen that holds all the traditional information on a phone, such as messages, pictures, contacts, music, email and Internet.
The Kin One has a unique shape, just about as wide as it is long, and has an interesting color scheme — black, white and silver with lime green detailing on the QWERTY keypad.
It’s not for everyone, including people that want a big screen for watching movies and clips, or people that want to keep their phone services basic and limited to chatting and texting. But it does hold appeal for the social butterfly on the go that’s looking for something smaller than a Blackberry or easier to type with than a touch screen keypad. And also, it is really cute in size and design.
As a social networking smartphone, the Microsoft has almost everything you’ll ever want, not shockingly powerful, but totally enough for communication use on the go. And I have to say the most impressive part of this phone is its almost square shape, weird but cute!
