The Microsoft Kin One and Kin Two is resurrecting on Verizon one again. The two phones possibly could even be back this quarter with a lower price. Another rumor is that the Kin One and Kin Two will be debundled from data services. However you can still use the Zune Pass over WiFi. Check out the leaked flyer below:

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has ended the sales of the Kin mobile phone series only six weeks after launch. Andy Lees will be placing the whole Kin team into the Windows Phone 7 team so that there will be more man power in that group.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has changed an ad that encouraged people to perform in “sexting” using their mobile phones. This ad shows a man put a phone in his shirt, take a picture, and SMS it over to another person at a party. Consumer Reports captured the ad and uploaded it to YouTube with a description that says “Microsoft is promoting its new Kin cell phones, aimed at socially networked young people, with an ad that we think comes uncomfortably close to encouraging sexting–that is, sending nude photos via cell phone.”
“Microsoft takes the issue of sexting very seriously and it was never our intent to promote it in any way,” stated a Microsoft spokesperson. The original video can be seen here:

Microsoft has announced two new mobile phones: the Kin One (pictured left) and the Kin Two (pictured right). The introduction of the two new phones is the outcome of what Microsoft had in mind when they acquired Sidekick manufacturing company Danger.
