Product Description The KIN TWO slide-form, “cloud-centric” phone is made by Sharp for Microsoft with an emphasis on socializing. After a brief run with distribution via carrier Verizon, the KIN lineup was abruptly terminated by Microsoft in July 2010. The now-defunct design includes a 3.4” HVGA LCD, an 8MP camera & video recorder with auto-focus, anti-shake, and an LED flash. 8GB of memory is on board to support music, photos & videos, as well as the instant network-based backup “cloud” feature called Studio which automatically backs up all texts, photos, videos, and contacts as created. All content was available for viewing and sharing with the drag and drop Spot feature located at the center of the home screen. With a Zune subscription on a PC, a user could also access music, video, FM, and podcast playback.
