KIN Studio and Zune Pass functionality are great, and K1&#8217;s hard QWERTY board is quite good for such a small device, but there&#8217;s no app store or calendar, sync options are limited, and Verizon will charge you a full-on $30\/month for smartphone data. Unless you&#8217;re truly in love with KIN&#8217;s look and feel, you&#8217;re better off getting a Pre Plus or Android device.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial;\">{Widget type=&#8221;youtube&#8221; id=&#8221;aIZh01MZbx8&#8243;}<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/qouwGgoB8JXfcdXqYT39r7xMn0k\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/qouwGgoB8JXfcdXqYT39r7xMn0k\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/qouwGgoB8JXfcdXqYT39r7xMn0k\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/qouwGgoB8JXfcdXqYT39r7xMn0k\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/phonedog_cellphoneblog\/~4\/HKzG6ZXfsjY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you don&#8217;t have the time or desire to read or watch full-length reviews, I&#8217;ve summarized my take on the recent wave of smartphones for you.&nbsp; &nbsp; Click here&nbsp;for the index of my latest smartphone Quick Takes. &nbsp; Microsoft KIN One (Verizon) &#8211; $49, Available Now KIN&#8217;s brand-new operating system and UI are eye-catching, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":671,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-578378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/671"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=578378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578378\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=578378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=578378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=578378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
