[Q] Kin Two vs. Kin TwoM

---

Hey guys,
I am thinking about getting a Kin. I just don't know whether I should get the Kin TwoM or just the Kin Two. Which ones better? What's the difference?

Thanks in advance!

I would like to know too. It has been a month and no reply.
Can the Kin be upgraded to the M? Regis

Don't do it - this is a really bad idea. The KIN ONEm and TWOm are unique and capable feature phones. Flashing them back to.the original KIN OS makes them useless, because the back-end service around which they were built is now offline. The original versions can no longer access their required cloud applications


The KIN ONE and KIN TWO were the original Microsoft 4/2010 software releases. This used cloud-based storage for everything: contacts, music, photos. (Similar to the way the old Sidekick worked.)

The concept was that with cloud storage local memory capacity became irrelevant. The problem was that traded local storage for heavy data use, which made Verizon less than happy. Verizon insisted that he KINs be required to have the full $30 smartphone data plan. With those monthly prices, the KIN couldn't reach its target market of teenagers wanting an inexpensive phone that could handle heavy social media.

In one of the most embarrassing moves in wireless history, Microsoft pulled the KINs off the market a month and a half later.

Six months later, MS dumped the inventory by flashing a modified version of the KIN OS and adding the "m" to the moniker. The cloud features were gone, and a few more local phone built-in apps were added to compensate. At the end of 2010 the KIN cloud servers were shut down, which renderd them useless to all the people who bought the original version.

The OMEm and TWOm are still fine feature phones if you can live with the non-expandable memory. They are particularly good for some one who can do all their data connection via local wifi, thus avoiding any data charges.

I wish I could find a Kin TWOm for my friend. He's not on a smartphone, and he can't afford one. He just wants a simple phone, and that would be the step in the right direction.
