Today Microsoft launched the two phones Kin One and Kin Two that are based on a new flavor of Microsoft’s upcoming mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7, these two handsets offer an entirely different experience to the user, with heavy focus on social networking features and a browser based on that of the Zune HD. The phones have been manufactured by Sharp and will be available on Verizon’s Wireless network in May and on Vodafone in Europe later this year. Kin One is a petite, rounded device with a 2.1-inch screen. Kin Two is a larger, palm-sized device with a 3.5-inch display.
Kin One has a 5-megapixel camera, while Kin Two sports an 8-megapixel camera. Both phones have multitouch displays, an accelerometer and video-recording capability, as well as hardware keyboards that slide out from underneath the screen. Microsoft may have chosen the Kin name to honor the efforts of Charlie Kindel, who is responsible for coordinating the Windows Phone 7 Series developer experience, although Microsoft didn’t explicitly say so.
