No. It shouldn't.
Yes it may make money, but who honestly believes this is a contender in this brave new world of smartphones? There's nothing exceptional about the phone at all. And it would take something exceptional to break into the market.
- bmalicoat 17y agoSmartphones made up 14% of all phones sold last year [1]. There is a huge market for people who want a smarter phone but don't need a true smartphone because they don't scratch the surface of what the smartphones can do at the cost they are provided (eg iPhone at ~$80/month). If Kin is priced low and the monthly rate is equally low there is huge potential IMO.
