That's no typo, folks, Microsoft's own-brand pseudo-smartphones are
back at Verizon, this time sporting an "m" appendage to their names
and what looks like better pricing across the board. The Kin ONEm will
set you back a cent under $20 with a two-year contract, whereas the
TWOm costs just under $50 but is also subject to a Buy One Get One
Free offer (the free phone being an LG Ally). We've spotted Zune Pass
is still present on the pair, though it's on a "WiFi and sideload
only" basis, seemingly forbidding 3G streaming. Plans start at $39.99
for voice and $9.99 for 25MB of data (while the $9.99 option is
advertised, the cheapest data plan we're presently able to add is the
$15 a month 150MB option), plus there's a $35 activation fee. Compared
to the original pricing, which had the One asking for $50 in upfront
costs and $70 as the minimum levy for voice plus data, we'd say this
is a definite move in the right direction. A few months late, but
better late than never, eh?
[Thanks, Wyatt]
