Thanks to the good folks of Microsoft Germany, we know the full specs of two Microsoft KIN devices. As you know, the KIN Two is a better one, but just how better – you’re about to find out.
First let’s talk about the common things found in both the KIN One and Two:
- Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP
- WiFi b/g connectivity
- 256 MB DDR RAM
- FM Radio
- Accelerometer (for auto-rotate and eventually gaming)
- GPS
- 3G (both GSM and CDMA-based networks will be supported)
- USB 2.0
As for the differences, here they come:
KIN One
- 2.6-inch QVGA (320×240 pixels) capacitive touchscreen
- 5-megapixel CMOS camera with auto-focus, anti-shake and dual LED flash
- 4GB of internal Flash memory
- 1240 mAh battery
- Portrait QWERTY keyboard
KIN Two
- 3.4-inch HVGA (480×320 pixels) capacitive touchscreen
- 8-megapixel HDR CMOS camera from Omnivision with auto-focus, anti-shake/image stabilization and a Lumi LED flash.
- 8GB of internal Flash memory
- Landscape QWERTY keyboard
- 1390 mAh battery
And that’s about it. Microsoft seems to have two solid mid-rangers which if marketed properly (and they probably will), should sell like crazy…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
