Microsoft’s got a phone out there now and it does look good. Comes in two versions of Kin One and Kin two, and both look rounded and fresh, much like a Samsung Corby, young and happy. It’s a welcome break from the numerous iPhone lookalike crowding the market.
From what can be seen in their videos and website, the phone has a very intuitive touch interface complemented by a hidden keyboard which many of us do like to have.
Time will tell weather they have cracked it with this one or not.
