Microsoft Kin Pricing and Availability Announced

Written by Alan Friday, 7 May 2010 08:00

A “sort of Windows Phone 7 preview” in the form of Kin is available for pre-order today.  The Kin runs a scaled-down version of the coming Windows Phone OS, which includes full Zune features.

It was announced yesterday HERE.  It looks pretty good, but is aimed at the younger crowd.  I will wait for the full OS available later this year.

KIN Availability and Pricing Announced

Starting May 6th, you can order KIN online at Verizon Wireless and on May 13^th, KIN will be available in Verizon Wireless stores.

KIN ONE is available for $49.99.

KIN TWO is available for $99.99.

Prices for KIN ONE and KIN TWO are after a $100 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement with Verizon Wireless.

To truly get the most out of your KIN, you will need to be on at least a Verizon Wireless Nationwide Talk plan and an Email and Web for Smartphone plan. Verizon’s Nationwide Talk plans begin at $39.99 with monthly access. And their Email and Web for Smartphone plans start at $29.99 for unlimited monthly access.
