Thought this was a Megadeth reference for a second.

Hardly a loss considering I've never even seen anyone with a Kin.

Same. Still, launching a social networking phone, marketing the thing wildly, and then killing it within a span of a few months seems so ridiculous.

THEN STOP USING ONLINE FORUMS AND SPEAK TO REAL PEOPLE YOU DOUBLE STANDARD YOU MAKE ME SICK

What the heck is this thing? Marketed wildly? I've never even heard of it. No wonder it didn't sell.

Wow... I JUST saw a commercial for that a few days ago.  This area is really big on Verizon.

It's got ads everywhere around here. TV, radio, billboards, the works.

Or is Microsoft only advertising in the Houston area?
