Nickie: Have you downloaded the most recent version of the Zune software from Microsoft’s website? I had some trouble with this at first as well, but that pretty much resolved it.

It’s not a bad phone. I had mine for about a year now. But I want to upgrade to a smart phone because this phone isn’t doing it for me. You can’t add apps if you get a data plan, you can’t delete ring tones, there’s no way to upload photos via text to facebook (well, I can’t at least. ) the zune player isn’t the best, the camera is basic and not many functions, the themes are lame and can’t add new themes and the touch screen can be a pain. But I got my phone for free and it is what it is.

As a follow up. The Zune Pass just changed their business model. Now, Pandora > Zune Pass. Though maybe Spotify > Pandora :-)

Josh great article, thank you. Yes, it is NOT an iPhone however; the Zune has replaced my iPod. The Zune software found my iTunes music library therefore, Zune made it easy for me to down load to my phone. For me the Zune software is easy to use oppose to iTunes. As too iTunes the software can be very ambiguous to operate. Zune also found music that I ripped from CDs to my iTunes library I thought that I lost. The experience has been a fun thus frustrating at times getting to know this phone however, so are my teen kids. Also, the photos and video are taken at 720p. My husband and I took most our summer vacation pictures in Arizona with this non-iPhone. Love the Wi-Fi with no data plan. This phone stands to be savvy enough for just a phone. My occupation is in telecommunications as a technician, therefore I have found that working in this field, an anarchy of people that over stimulated non responsive to reality around them, can’t wait to retrieve what’s next in technology. As a simpleton I will continue with a KISS attitude.

Kudos Josh on the info. You info was accurate and would have been useful to me had I found your article a few weeks ago when I first got my Kin Twom. I had to figure most things out for myself. However, it wasn’t really difficult. Little things like how to delete emails from the list without having to open the email gave me a headache for a while but I eventually figured out that touching the screen with 2 fingers puts an “x” beside each email and you can just touch it to delete the emails. I would like to be about to delete multiple emails or empty the deleted items folder without having to do it 1 email at a time but I haven’t figured out how to do that. I am really enjoying this phone and love the wifi feature. I did get the $10 75MB plan just in case I wanted to access the web when I wasn’t around wifi. I’ll just keep an eye on my data usage to make sure I don’t go over. For those who suggested putting the phone on airplane mode to avoid data usage, be aware if you do that you can’t receive texts or calls while you’re in airplane mode. Also, since the camera is 8mp each picture is a large file. So, if you decide to upload a file to Facebook etc using 3G you should know that those add up to a lot of mb’s really fast. Overall, I love this phone. I wish it would have had backup assistant and some other minor features, but I’ve learned that all phones will be lacking some features that other phones may have. BTW, I just noticed that Verizon no longer has the Kin Twom on their website anymore. They have the Kin One.

I bought this phone, and all I can say is that I came to the same conclusions as everyone else: this phone will be PERFECT! But, after recieving it in the mail 2 days ago (2 days past Verizon’s promised 2 day shipping), I have had nothing but trouble. I wasn’t expecting a iPhone, in fact, I was trying to get away from it. I am warning everyone, NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THIS IS. Verizon is of no help, and when I called Windows today, they didn’t even know what a Kin was. They even asked me to spell it out for them. I really like the phone, but just a warning to everyone out there- I am returning it because if there is ever a problem (which has been my whole experience) NO ONE CAN HELP.

Josh! Congratulations on completely changing your life man! You look awesome, I’m sure you feel great, and most importantly, you proved to yourself that you could do it! I’m proud of you for making the serious commitment to healthier living. I’ve lost 50 pounds with Power 90, and though I’ve still got a long way to go, it makes me feel good to see someone who reached the promised land on the same road I’m travelling :)
