- Poor Sales Performance
- Microsoft had to navigate hostile reviews from an underwhelmed geek press, and changed its KIN advertising to kill a case of inappropriate texting using a KIN's phone camera.
- As they received tepid reviews, they were also plagued by reports of extremely poor sales.
- Pricing Issues
- The Kin wasn't a smartphone, but it sure had a monthly cellphone plan priced like one.
- At launch, the palm-sized Kin One – which had a 2.7-inch screen – cost $50 with a two-year Verizon contract, while the Kin Two with its 3.5-inch display cost $100. A few weeks later, Verizon dropped the price on the two phones to $80 and $30 respectively.
- As it sounds cheap, however, the fine print was in the monthly cellphone plan for the device. All Kin phones required a data plan, which meant a $70 a month minimum on the bill.
- No Unique Value Proposition
- The Kin made a bold move into an extremely competitive cellphone market, but the devices lacked the cool factor and never really made it clear why a user want a Kin over a Motorola Cliq or a HTC Hero.
- What Microsoft failed were the truly innovative features of the phone - mainly the automated cloud backup.
The product was ill-conceived.
Expensive for an incomplete smartphone.
Lack of the cool factor.
