I was surprised when they where announced that they where not win phone 7 phones. Again MS has teams working in isolation not collaborating on things.

Only thing that surprises me is that this was an under-hyped product line by a company [in]famous for over-hyping products well before they are released ... Before seeing this very thread, I have seriously never heard of "Kin (http://www.electronista.com/reviews/microsoft-kin-one-and-kin-two.html)".

But then again I am become a Luddite curmudgeon lazy ass who (especially after that South Park episode) will never sign up for a MyTwitterFace account...
