"... Unfortunately, the Kin OS is missing some features that, in my opinion, are crucial for social networkers. First of all, there's no native calendar nor is there support for syncing your Outlook or Google calendars. ... There's also no native IM client, which seems strange for a phone that's built for messaging. Lastly, Kin lacks support for uploading photos or videos to Twitter. ... Right now, it is hard to estimate how well the Microsoft Kin One will do without a price attached to it. While it has some 'smart' features, this isn't a smartphone. For the Kin One to succeed on the network, it should be priced to shift."
