So, I have the Kin One M.... and I hate it. I really should have paid more attention to all of the crappy reviews on VZW's website about this phone. It is lousy, and it makes me extremely frustrated to say the least.
When I first got the phone, every thing was great. The phone worked perfectly. Then I started to notice that it would turn off at random times, but I didn't pay much attention to it at first. The turning off got somewhat more frequent, and now the problem with my phone is that it wont access the phone app. Every time I try to go to use the phone, it will access it for about 3 seconds, then automatically exit it. No matter how many times I try, it refuses.
Now, you may be thinking, "Oh, she didn't restart the phone or take the battery out." Well, if you were thinking that, you're wrong. I did. Multiple times.
Another problem that I am facing with my phone is "Invisible Un-read MMS (Text) Messages." My phone says that I have 7 unread messages, when in reality, I have 0 unread messages. And it will not for the life of it delete certain MMS messages. Every time I attempt to delete them, they just pop right back up. SO when this happened, I initially thought that maybe the unread texts were in these messages somewhere, so I went scrolling through them, and what do you know, there aren't any unread messages that I was able to scroll through by hitting the 'more' button.
*In case you didn't already know, the Kin phones come with the scrolling text feature, and as you obtain more texts from the person you're texting, it hides the previous texts.
And to top it all off, Verizon Wireless's website is currently unavailable, so I cant even switch my phone to my Alias 2 at the moment either.
If you were ever thinking about getting a KIN phone, I would advise you not to. Yeah, its cool not to have a data plan to access the internet, but thats what computers and laptops are for. Don't waste your time with these phones people.
Trust me on this one.
