In late June, Microsoft confirmed they were pulling the plug on the Kin One and Kin Two smartphones, after sales fell well below expectations.

lol yeah this had failure written over it from the get go. nice work again ballmer, really f'ing up.
Cell phones aren't ever collectors items because they have a higher turn around rate than PCs do, so don't feel bad if you didn't get one KillerBug, cause I doubt it'd be worth squat 5-10 years from now. Not even the N-Gage is worth anything, cell phones just don't tend to exist when they do bad.
I still think MS should unload them onto the pay-as-you-go providers. They're good phones for those types of plans and would be put in the price model they were originally intended for. I'd pick one of these up for my daughter right now if Net10 had them.
I think they should install Froyo and sell them as economy android phones...at this point, that seems like Microsoft's only chance to make money on the mobile market!
Yeah I am suprised they didn't take off with the kids ya see running all over with BlackBerrys but yeah I don't have that plan myself...my kid sure doesn't need it!
wow! those are really good phones!
I was just about to bash M$ as usual but then I looked up the specs on GSMArena and man they were good!! In fact Kin two is EXACTLY what I had been looking for in Nokia handsets..but sadly nothing comes close to Kin two's spec shit. it's just perfect. everything I wanted was in there at such cheap price..and now its already gone..Goddamnit!!
I wish I can get one..and then somehow put android or Symbian^3 on it.. :(

Try eBay. I'm sure someone is trying to sell one on there.
