Verizon confirms the end of the Microsoft Kin

Microsoft first announced the end of the Kin production back on June 30 and scrapped plans for a European launch. On Sunday, we noticed the Verizon store marked the Kin ONE and Kin TWO as “unavailable at this time.” Logically, marking the phone as unavailable meant that the end was nearby for Microsoft’s unsuccessful project. Today, Verizon Wireless confirmed to Engadget that it had officially ended the sale of the Kin ONE and Kin TWO. However, for the few Kin owners out there, you’ll be pleased to know Microsoft will continue maintenance and operation for the Kin. It’s sad to think what could have been for the Kin had Verizon offered a different data plan for the phone and marketed the phone differently.
