  • How to check in the KIN TWOm is in a store near me?

    I am wondering if there is a way to check through the website if a store near me has the KIN TWOm is in stock

    I don't think you can check through this site. You will have to call the stores directly. There is a Store Locator button at the upper right though.

  • Kin Twom Stock

    I live in Springfield, Massachusetts and tried ordering a Kin TWOm but got an email back saying that verizon was out of stock. I really really want this phone and no other feature phone. Can anyone tell me when Verizon will restock on the Kin TWom or when they think they will restock on it?? I would really appreciate it because I have been due for an upgrade since December. Thanks!!

    I called customer service and they said that all i can do is wait until the gets the phone and then they'll send me a notification that my phone will be coming. He couldnt provide me with info on when the store would get the phone or give me an estimated time of when they would come. Basically I have no idea when Im going to be getting this phone now :/ now what to do??

  • Is the Kin Onem just out of stock?

    I was on the verizon wireless website yesterday and was looking for possible basic phones that I might purchase. The kin onem was listed but just said it was "temporaily out of stock." I then looked today, and it was no longer listed. Is that because it is only out of stock or is verizon planning on not selling it anymore?

    my daughter wanted this phone and it was pulled from the verizon page the day before her upgrade! I called everywhere trying to find one. I ended up buying a new one from Ebay. So far it is working fine.

  • Temporarily Out Of Stock

    I'm eligible for a New Every Two upgrade as of tomorrow, and I'd been researching all the different phones and decided that I wanted to get the Kin TWOm. Now I see that it is temporarily out of stock. Any idea when this will be available again, or any other places I can buy it? (I want the "m" version, not the original, I'd rather not have a data plan).

    I called customer support this morning (*611 from your verizon phone if anyone needs it, took me a while to find it.) The service rep offered to place the order over the phone, and the device is on its way. Apparently they do still have this phone in stock in some locations (at least as of when I'm writing this) so if anyone else can't get it from the website, try your luck over the phone before giving up.

  • Samsung SCH-u370 vs. Kin TWOm ; Which would be better for the texter?

    So my plan is going to end in about two months so I decided to research some new feature phones online.
    Since I text often, I wanted a phone with a full keyboard, having a touch screen would be nice as well.
    The Samsung SCH-u370 isn't offered on at VZW anymore, but Bestbuy online still has a stock of it.
    The Kin TWOm looks like a very good phone (8MP camera, slide-out keyboard, etc.) but it didn't have good reviews for some reason.
    I mainly use my phone for texting, but will call for roughly 1-2 hours every other night during the week.
    Shelling out 50$ isn't a big deal for me, but free is always better.
    For the users that have experience with either phone or even both, which would you reccomend and why?
    P.S.
    - If they're any other keyboard feature phones coming out in the next two months, I would love to take them into consideration.
    Thank you so much!

    I have both.
    The u370 UI is much more polished, font sizes are great, you can adjust them. You can doodle/notate on pics. It's 3" resistive touchscreen. You can use finger nail or some dull pointer if touch is slightly off. I have not tested the e-mail/web browser as the phone doesn't have wi-fi and i don't have data plan. Music player is very basic, haven't tested video. No microSD card is included. The camera is 3MP, no flash, but there is night mode (more sensitive to light, but noisy images). You can doodle/notate over pics, great for making quick notes/directions. Because it relies on microSD for storage, you don't really need to use it with any specific software.
    Twom, some parts of the UI can frustrate some people. Font sizes are not adjustable, and there are many areas where the font is thin and small. The built in email client is text only, and it displays some html code rather than stripping them clean. But it does work over both 3g or wifi. The e-mail client's UI is simple, nice to use. You can do full webmail through the browser. You can type notes/comments on pics taken, no sketch pad. 3.4" capacitive touchscreen. That means you can't use fingernail or pointers. There is a Zune player with tegra1 hardware, which means audio and HD video playback. 8GB overall storage with about 6+ GB usable for storage. And you have to use the Zune desktop software to get data on/off the phone. 8MP camera with auto focus, image stabilization, and led flash. But no extras like b&w/sepia modes, etc, etc. The browser is good for mobile sites and small websites, but large websites takes a while to load. Overall it works well enough for basic html & css over wi-fi. Also keep in mind it's unlikely to get an update.
    I can't comment on texting as i don't have a text plan. The Twom keyboard is very tactile, you can hear it click, not mushy. If you really need a good browser on your phone, then you will need a smartphone. Between these two though, the Twom have the advantage in media, the u370 have the advantage as the easier to use phone. And it depends on how much you like/dislike the UI of either phone. The u370 have the more 'normal' UI. Whereas the Twom is more experimental looking, but cuts down the fluff.
    With either phone, make sure you disable 3g data.
    *Actually both keyboards are very good. The difference is the Twom have clicky plastic keys, and u370 have the noiseless rubbery keys. Both keyboards are top of their class. Each key is firm and it's not easy to accidentally click an adjacent key. Depends on which you prefer.

  • Chances the KIN TWOm ever shows up as a free Certified Pre-Owned Feature Phone?

    Does anyone think or know if the KIN TWOm will ever show up as a free Certified Pre-Owned Feature Phone?
    I only ask because virtually every other feature phone ends up showing up there sooner or later, but it seems like the KIN might be the exception...
    If it did show up there, how long would it take (approx.) after its release date?
    fisharefriends, you out there?

    I will predict yes, it will eventually show up as a CPO device. It usually takes months after release though to have enough in stock to offer it online. In addition, it may be available in some areas, but not others, depending on ZIP code.
    I can tell you it took about six months for the Bold 9650 to be offered as a CPO. That's the only timeline I can think of off the top of my head. The Kin was re-released in early November, so maybe this summer???

  • Anymore Kin Twom phone?!!!

    Hi, I was wondering is anyone knows if they will be getting anymore Kin Twom phone's? I called last night and the customer service guy said they had some, then today I called in to order it and they said they didn't have any. I am so bummed, but am hoping they will get more, sine they still have it on the site- but it says temporarily out of stock.  My husband and I love that we can have Wifi without the data plan. Any help would be great! Thanks.

    I suggest not to get this phone. The reason they are out of stock is becasue they have to keep replacing the phones that people already have. My daughter is on her 3rd phone in 4 weeks. Yes I said that right, not a typo. 3rd phone in 4 weeks and they refuse to give her a different phone. Something other then this stupid Kin twom

  • KIN TWOm Availability

    I am eligible for an upgrade on Thursday and have decided that I would like to get the KIN TWOm. The website says that it is temporarily out of stock. Is there anyway to find out when/if it will be in stock again?
    Thanks!

    I was told that they discontinued the phone when I talked to customer support on the phone. However I am concerned that they don't understand what they are talking about. The original Kin series was discontinued. However it was reserected in the Kin TWOm. They may be talking about the original discontination and not the recent one. 
    I needed to make changes to my plan so I ended up getting the Pantech Crux. But I made sure they noted that I was told the Kin TWOm was discontinued so that if it ever becomes available I will be calling back with a lexicon of choice words for them. 

  • Kin TwoM activation help!  Please :)

    My husband and I are trying to upgrade/activate a couple of Kin TwoM's that we recevied.  We received batch number one (two phones) on Monday...and after an hour or so on the phone...no go.  Tech support said its a bad phone, and they'll send out new ones.  My husband received batch number two (two more phones), and they do not work as well. 
    He is trying them in another area now.  Someone suggested him trying a different Verizon Tower.  (??)
    I have seen many other forums saying it took 2 or 3 or even 4 different phones to get ONE working.  ??  Why is this still happening?  When someone sends a "bad phone" back...is it just put back into stock?    Boy, I sure hope not.  Because all that is happening is Tech Support and Shipping/Recieving are wasting a lot of time trying to get them figured out...and reshipping.  Let alone the cost of reshipping.
    I REALLY would like to get our phones working.  I just love the minimal features and the WIFI capability that the Kin TwoM has.  Please let me know (as soon as you can, please) if someone...anyone...can help me out!  Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN back to the store or to the post office...whatever..before you use those Kin TWOs.  I got on just at one month ago and CANNOT STAND IT!!!  It is a complete piece of crap.  The reasons are long and numerous and I'd be glad to go into it all in detail if you want concrete reasons to return it, but lets just say I had the last straw when my phone started randomly SHUTTING OFF last week.  I spent HOURS on the phone with Verizon last week when the phone was litterally less than 30 days old trying to get them to switch it out for another phone ANY other phone only to essentially told to stuff it and buy another phone at full retail price if I was unhappy. 
    DO NOT ACTIVATE IT!!!  Just send it back and get something else!!!  It doesn't work.  In fact both at a regular Verizon store AND at a Verizon Wireless dealer store I was told that they got so many complaints about the phones that they do not display them anymore and strongly suggest to customers to get any other phone Verizon offers.

  • How To Transfer Photo and Video from Kin Twom to PC?

    My computer, Windows-Vista, does not show the Kin Twom icon. I don't know how to download photo and video taken from Kin Twom to PC. Kin Studio is phasing out and does not accept new member. What else can we do?

    just found out, you are from my town!
    ok, so you have your zune software downloaded and installed.
    when you first open the software, it will show photos/videos/blah blah. Those are usually the contents (default) in your "My Music" "My Video" and "My Pictures" folders under your "My Documents" folder or "Libraries" (windows 7).
    So to move those photoes, videos, and such in and out of the zune software, simply copy/cut/paste whatever you may like, and put them in those designated folders.
    After opening Zune, connect Kin TwoM to your computer via the given USB cable.
    If connected successfully, the Zune software will detect it and ask you to name your device. If not, then disconnect and retry.
    Then to sync stuff to your Kin TwoM, under the Zune menu, go to "Collections" and choose whatever you like, click on them and drag to the lower left corner where a phone is presented in "black" color. If you successfully dragged an item there, the mouse cursor should changed to a red bubble with the number "1" in it. The number represents the amount of items you are dragging to the phone.
    To sync stuff from the phone to your computer, go to the Phone section under Zune menu, should be about 3 or 4 items to the right of "Collections". Repeat what was said above, except this time, the little black phone at the lower left corner will be a black desktop.
    hope this helps!

  • NEW Kin TwoM Pricing / New Feature Phones

    So, I've been checking the site compulsively for about the last two months...let me know if you think my logic on this is sound:
    This week I noticed that the Kin OneM pricing went from 19.99 to FREE- it doesn't seem to be a promotional price either because it's listed as an "Online Discount" the exact same way the Crux and Cosmos are.
    This leads me to believe two things:
    1) Possibly the best news- with so many of the feature phones moving to FREE pricing, it's not a huge assumption that new feature phone devices may soon be on the way.  (Please, please, please offer some compelling phones Verizon...)
    2) The Kin TwoM will soon see a price decrease as well- probably to the 19.99 range making it almost impossible to pass up.
    If number 1 turns out to be true, I'll be waiting a bit to see what comes out before I pull the trigger on the Kin TwoM.
    There's been recent news that Verizon will be releasing devices "later this year" (whatever that means) with the Brew OS and Opera Mini preloaded- this probably means they've got some decent feature phones coming.  I'm making that assumption based on the fact that the HTC Freestyle on AT&T has been pretty much regarded as the first device to be released like this...I'm thinking Verizon will want to compete with them at least at the beginning of a new standard of feature phones.
    But, if it turns out that they again bring a line-up that only gets the teens excited, count me in for the Kin TwoM.
    I'd prefer not to have to walk around the office with the same phone my boss's 15 year old daughter has...now there's an interesting water cooler chat: 
    "Bergman, nice phone...my tween daughter loves that thing..."

    Somehow i feel the Kin phones won't be for sale for much longer. For those that need a basic phone with touch interface, there's other options which have a clearer interface. Including the Costco special Samsung SCH-u370. It's a Samsung u820/Reality that doesn't require data. No free wi-fi, but overall it's a much better phone. More ... finished, than the Kin phones. The Kins to me feels like a Windows Phone beta in comparison.
    I do love how the tiles are laid out on the home screen better on the Kins than WP7 phones, there's no empty space above or to the right. And i love the favorites contacts screen of the Kins. WP7 phones though feels much sleeker and better zune like controls. And since you can load apps on WP7 your browser won't be outdated.
    For current feature phones, i think the u370 is a top choice on Verizon. Good build quality, clear user interface, nice fonts and sizes, a useful sketch app, and the ability to doodle/notate on your pictures. Excellent value. Kin Onem, i can't reccomend. The phone dial numbers are too small on screen to be usable. Thicker than other feature phones, but because of the form factor, the side buttons are almost useless in one handed use. Kin Twom is much better in these aspects than the Onem. But certain interface font sizes are still too small.
    The web browser (IE 6 Mobile) is not bad. Mobile and minimal pages loads quick on wifi. Although the back button is not easy to get to, and i haven't figured out if you can go forward in history. The url/title bar seems unfinished, i wish it would have swapped to the title after entering the url, thus saving space. The tiled bookmarks is a good idea, but page titles doesn't fit on the tiles. Even though the hardware is Tegra1, the Kin doesn't come with Flash lite. So alot of flash interactive buttons and streaming doesn't work. Infact simple mp3 playback and playlists doesn't stream in the browser. Which is sad.
    One saving grace for the browser that i have found is Bing. Yep. http://m.bing.com/ Of course on first load it will be in landscape mode. And it only list the top 3 items of the menu, without being able to expand it. But go into portrait mode, and you should see the complete menu. Almost every web app on this menu worked well. My favorite is the directions. It almost makes up for not having google maps. Almost.
    The strong points of the Twom is of course the browser + wifi, and zune. Which is like a zune hd lite. The FM radio made up for the lack of web streaming. I'm rediscovering FM thanks to it. And the zune desktop software is very modern and sleek. It made itunes look like it's made for accountants. Personally i love the Twom even though it has its quirks. The ui is unique, not quite WP7, and not like anything else. No branding as well. With FM radio i have wireless music anywhere, for free.
    Here are some mobile sites that i found to work on Kin's IE6 Mobile:
    http://m.bing.com/ --- search, local, traffic, directions (fantastic), movies, weather, favs.
    http://mobile.local.com/ --- more direct/faster way to search for anything local
    http://wapedia.mobi/en/ --- easier to load than mobile wikipedia
    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/
    http://m.whitepages.com/ http://www.gasbuddytogo.com/
    http://www.gasbuddytogo.com/ http://translate.google.com/m/
    http://translate.google.com/m/
    There's plenty of news & social websites that have mobile modes. I've tried cnn, twitter, and youtube. And they all worked well. Youtube mobile seems to be the only way you can stream anything with the browser. I've tried other mobile video/music sites, and no go.
    The phone have frozen 4 times within the last day. This happens with heavy web browsing and music playback. Overall i can't recommend the Kin phones, although go ahead and buy one while you can if you know what you're getting into. I feel that future feature phones will be more polished like the Samsung u370/u820 rather than these Kins. I just wish MS, Verizon, Danger and PCD realize that they were on to something great with these Kins despite the marketing flop. I like the TwoM despite the beta feel of the software and hardware (WP7 still looks like it's a beta product).

  • Kin Twom Microphone Not Working.

    My Microphone On My Phone Suddenly Stopped Working Today. I Can Hear Anyone That Calls Me But They Cant Hear Me?

    Guard0709 and gooseberries thanks for posting!
    Sorry you are experiencing this issue with the microphone on your KIN TWOm!  I am happy to assist.
    Is this happening on all calls or after using a headset or Bluetooth device?  Ensure you are not accidentally touching "mute" while on the call.  If neither of these are the case, I would like to suggest performing a soft reset of the device by powering it off and removing the battery for approximately 30 seconds.
    Please let me know how this works out for you!

  • KIN TWOm randomly turns off?

    Hi. I have had a Verizon KIN TWOm for just under a year now. About last week, it started randomly shutting off, usually about once every two days. Today, it started doing it more, now once about every ten minutes. 
    It usually happens when I slide out the keyboard.
    Sometimes, it will even turn off before it gets through the whole KIN boot sequence.
    It is very annoying. What should I do?

    nacbookbubba , I understand how frustrating this is. I researched your issue and wasn't able to locate this as a known issue with your phone. You can perform a factory reset which will set the preference settings to factory default and all user data and contacts will be erased. I will list the steps below and if you continue to have this issue, we may need to perform further trouble-shooting and possibly review your account for replacement options.
    From the Home screen, select Settings.
    Select About Your Phone.
    Select erase phone data.
    Select OK.
