Microsoft KIN , just over 500 units sold since its launch

The launch event of the smartphone Microsoft last April, will look dull by any standards , he did not even presage some sales figures as negative . The source of the news be confirmed , he can not specify whether one of the KIN models or the number refers to the combination of both , but the fact is that not to exceed one thousand units in less than a month is really disturbing.  So much he can include the removal of the project that Microsoft , obviously , intended to make the family KIN the ultimate messaging device , leaving other market segments for the upcoming Windows Phone 7. However, the play they have not gone well due to reasons very specific and well defined.

On one hand, and perhaps most important, Abusive tariff amount that U.S. operator Verizon submits to those who want to gain any of the models : 49.99 and 99.99 dollars (about 41 and 81 euros at current exchange rates ) for KIN OneKIN Two respectively, under a contract of two years duration with a minimum fee amounting to 69.98 per month ( 57 euros ). and

Furthermore , the very poor features, both technical and operationalWho have so little depth in the different audiences that the devices were targeted at first. Which brings us back to the issue of cost, there is a record of a clear disproportion between it and the possibilities of both terminals.

From rumor to be true that some media give some truth , it portends a priori very slightly optimistic results for his debut next fall in different European countries
