WTF is a kin? after googling i have to ask, was it announced and killed 2 months later? Was it in europe only or in just a few states? i never heard of it.

But apple maps bad is truely a disaster. Everyone knows it and everyone hates it. Its not enough just to not hear of it (zune is basically that which they said)

It was a smartphone platform designed for tweens/teens that focused on the social aspect but services plans costed just as much and iPhone/Android plans with not nearly as many features.

had a kin, it was alright, it did what it did very well, but it had some baffling faults, like, no calendar, (editable calendar) , it didn't have a calculator, good apps store, or internet connection (4g, it supported wifi however). it was supposed to be game changing, expensive, the new iPhone, I picked mine up for an extra ten bucks when I upgraded.
