“Kin available tomorrow, but pricing may hamper adoption”
As noted by mocoNews, the $100 mail-in rebate comes back in the form of a debit card, not a check, so those $50 and $100 price tags truly are more like $150 and $200. On top of that, Verizon’s voice and data plans for the Kin cost a minimum of $60 per month [just like the iPhone].
And that’s what Microsoft released instead of the Courier.
(On the plus side, they are reportedly super buggy, so maybe the Courier was simply canceled because they never managed to make it work. Still sad, but a better reason. Imagine what trouble you’d be in if you had to decide whether to buy the coolest device ever, that crashes every two minutes.)
Want to know when I post new content to my blog?

We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
