Earlier this month, Microsoft surprised everyone by launching not one, but two mobile phones – Kin One and Kin Two. Undoubtedly, the biggest draw of the Kin phones is it’s enhanced social features. As mentioned in our original report, Kin tries to take social networking to the next level by reducing the noise and helping you to stay connected with the people who really matter.
Although Microsoft shared with us the main features and specifications of the Kin handsets, a lot of other essential information was missing from the initial announcement. Thankfully, GSMArena has managed to fill in most of the missing data.
