[techreveiws101]

Bro i'm having trouble syncing it to my computer. I want to music and stuff on it but I can't sync! PLEASE help me out!

[mrcool0975perry]

does it have a slot for a memory card... and if not, how do u put videos/pics from phone to computer?

[mrmoodyrudy]

you can text a video if you set it to lower quality

[asears92]

How do you save videos you recieve from someone? Thanks.

[bhufgard21]

is this a smart phone

[mountainboarder101]

@bhufgard21 no

[tatortot4897]

how is the facebook uploading without a data plan

[mountainboarder101]

@tatortot4897 Wifi

[tatortot4897]

@mountainboarder101 thanks

[TheSunsfan4life]

How did you get music on it? I can't find the drivers for this! Help!!

[FreddieFrozen]

@TheSunsfan4life you have to download zune on your computer

[wildbraincollin1]

were can i buy this? cuz it is not on verizon website. the first one is but i cant find the 2nd one. anyone help me?

[mountainboarder101]

@wildbraincollin1 Gotta get one from ebay or a website, verizon doesnt carry them anymore

[GtotheRANT36]

How do you get songs from itunes to the phone on a pc?

[Spacecookie77]

@TheKatie2522 no. You just have to turn on airplane mode to be 100% positive it doesn't charge you.

[x0rebecca18]

Did anyone else see that this phone is not available on the Verizon site? I like died and I need an upgrade and this phone was the phone I decided on now it's gone *dies* anyone know anything?

[wheninrome924]

@x0rebecca18 omg! i thought the same thing! was so mad. now im stuck with the kin onee :(

[gmperf425]

@x0rebecca18 consider yourself lucky. The features look great but the phone is poorly designed. The web browser is terrible and slow but that doesn't matter because the wifi doesn't work either. My touchscreen got dead spots after about a month and the buttons quit working. I saw the phone and loved it at first glance but, it deteriorated rapidly! I sent it back thinking I got a bad one but now the my new one has the exact same problems...

[x0rebecca18]

@gmperf425 I actually ended up getting the Kin ONEm because this on wasn't available and it hasn't given me a problem yet. A little small for my liking but it's pretty good.

[JordannnM]

please respond how do you sync your contacts with this phone

[gmperf425]

@JordannnM can't be done... took me two hours on the phone with verizon to learn that :(

[FunPerson911]

wth..i just got this phone today, and somehow it doesnt sync to zune..

it doesnt say "connected" it just charges the battery there..

[gmperf425]

@FunPerson911 yup... another of this phone's many glitches

[soccerluver413]

SKITTLESS



[personwithalaptop]

all of those songs are things i listen to. im 13. wowwww

[TheKatie2522]

If you use wifi, does it charge for data?

[NTselect23]

hey can someone help me out. i really neeed to knoww.. i ordered this phone, and it will be here tomorrow. i need to know if you can bluetooth contacts and pictures from my old phone onto this phone. in the owners manual online it doesnt say it supports those files for bluettooth. someone help?

[cdog4235]

@NTselect23 YEs i would think so that should be only if your old phone is bluetooth eligible and is able to do send contacts

[falloftroy555222]

can you get this pone in the stores or only online?

[hbkkbh6h8]

@falloftroy555222 both but pay online its cheaper

[knIfty150]

wwwwwooooooowwwwww skittles what a fattie

[Hollisterboy2000]

Why the fuk would you get a data plan for this phone? IT'S A FEATURE PHONE

[sammymunir]

@Hollisterboy2000 cause you can.........

[Tara89Kaylee]

CLICK LIKE IF YOU HAVE THIS PHONE(:

[oceancity27]

I think all feature phones should be like this. Verizon makes it impossible to get a decent phone with a decent amount of features without having to pay $30/month. I can't see why anyone would go with another feature phone over this, unless they prefer boredom when using their phone.

[thesniper1191]

@oceancity27 Yeah, and it sucks because Verizon removed this phone completely from stores.

[oceancity27]

@thesniper1191 Because they only want people to buy their smartphones...cheap assholes.

[thesniper1191]

@oceancity27 They said it was because the phone "Didn't turn out the way it was supposed to" Where it had all these features, but people didn't like it. Which I find false, because the only bad reviews are on Verizon, where it was probably a bunch of teenagers who were complaining because it wasn't perfect. On YouTube, I haven't seen a single comment where people don't like this phone.

[oceancity27]

@thesniper1191 They are talking about the original KINs. They were smartphones and nobody bought them cause they had NO features. So they re-released them as feature phones. But Microsoft stopped developing these so when they run out, there arent any more of them to be sold. But honestly i think Verizon pulled them off the market because they drew sales away from their smartphones.

[Miploification]

it looks like it lags like a bitch

[MilkweedTheif]

does it have external memory? and can it sync with pc's? Anyone? Anyone know?

[YoungZ1314]

@MilkweedTheif No External Memory. As for syncing, you can sync music using the zune software

[oreogk]

Can you block the data and still use the wifi?

[99boykiller]

is this a smartphone?/

[Dak552]

@99boykiller no but it is like it

[TrueTrueVMK]

I have Nationwide messaging. It comes with unlimited data. VERY worth it for this phone

[estohanx]

wait, is the mark space software free, or does it cost money??

[ToastyMcNuggetLuvr]

Hey guys I'm 14 and wondering if this is a good phone for me. I text a lot and I love technology and that's why i wanted a no data plan but touchscreen phone. Please state your pros and cons mainly about testing and the whole touchscreen ordeal

[Marylost12]

@ToastyMcNuggetLuvr Bad phone. I have it an dstuck with it :/. Im 13 and so far the only pro is camera. the cons are : freezes up, reboots itself, bad battery life, takes a while to process and deletes thngs such as photos, contacts, alarms, and ringtones. Bad phone dont get it.

[theexoticamerican]

@sp0zh3ater no you doint need a data plan



[sp0zh3ater]

do you need a data plan

[LandonGoree45]

No it can't take Sd cards

[buttnerrr]

Can you lock text messages?

[JohnathenDavis]

Will it take sd card?

[DrewMoney2323]

I;m considering buing this phone but can you text with the screen or can you only do keyboard texting?

[BADBOYINC503]

@DrewMoney2323 only keyboard kinda lame i have this phone but i think its amazin i recomend it



[MrdrummerSSU]

@DrewMoney2323 There is no onscreen keyboard :/

[ThePandaIAm]

ipod touch camera is 1mp so its not comparable at all

[ajferguson23]

2:32 he didn't spell "you" right either 

[BridgetLovesMakeup]

OMG do u live in az because the number starts with 480? Cause I do too!

[Theicool]

@BridgetLovesMakeup YES! I'm from AZ.

[shooterman13]

Is this touch(your heat from your body like the iphone) sensitive or pressure sensitive?

[zumiezelemento14]

@shooterman13 its a capacitive touch screen.

[Marylost12]

@shooterman13 hear from your body

[pimpgonewild]

@ahallhockey don't use it at all lol.Or you can block your data usage on Verizon's webpage.

[The95969596]

can you sync your contacts from facebook?

[ahallhockey]

so how do u make sure you dont use internet or email after u are out of an area were there is no wifi?

[idealist22]

Thanks roxygirl60!

[DECIMATEJM88]

Great review ! Very informative.

[idealist22]

Like the content of the message?

[idealist22]

Hey, if you lock your phone, will your text still show?

[roxygirl60]

@idealist22 yea i have this fone and you can set it to that or turn it off

[crazymike199]

Can you record sounds like on a LG Dare ?

[boo6r]

THANKS just got this cause of you! i hate data packages !!!

[ashley22angel]

is all this free? especially music??? 

[Marylost12]

@ashley22angel No, you ahve to pay to use zune then pay for the songs :P

[RAWRTrentonRAWR]

Does music stop playing when you unplug the headphones? Or does it just start playing out of the speaker?

[TheFunnyCorp]

I read that in Joey's voice haha

[mzungusid]

also, how much space does it have...like for music? like 8gb?

[tichondriis]

@mzungusid 6gb

[mzungusid]

can you personalize it at all? like, say i hate the puke green color...can i change it?

[CJ051896]

@mzungusid to blue or red :/

[Marylost12]

@mzungusid 4 different colors. Blue, Green, Pink, red

[ItotallyRockz]

ya sry i just figured that out. i got the phone and i didn't have the spot or loop because STUPID verizon removed it which could be the WORST IDEA EVER!!!! thats why i got the phone and it doesn't even have those features. i still like the phone though, but it would be 10x better with those features

[sasuqatchrere2]

@ItotallyRockz

thats in your oppion im happy they dont have it bc that was a stuiped idea and used alot of data and now this is finally a really good feature phone that doesnt have the stuiped verizon os that sucks this and the kin one are the only two phones that dont intruped you will ur in the middle of a text i hate that crap i have saved to many drafts bc of incoming messages

[TNBSAR]

dude, you is you not yoi

[TheGuitarGod213]

i ordered this of ebay and i cant wait to get it. I hope it to be a vast improvment over my lg dare

[Marylost12]

@TheGuitarGod213 I dont think this phone can improve anything.

[thedrako27]

do you have to pay for Zune on the phone?

[ItotallyRockz]

@thedrako27 ya, $15 per month, but you get a 14 day trial

[Marylost12]

@thedrako27 Yeah and to use the songs

[jsaxon1996]

Actually the "kin spot and loop" were discontinued in the m version of the kin. Good for me because I couldn't use it with just wifi anyway! :)

[bobbin1765]

so if you use 3G it costs more? and do u need a data plan/package?

[ItotallyRockz]

@bobbin1765 not for the twom

[ItotallyRockz]

use the kin spot for sending already shot video, and forwarded messages,

[MrPuffinbear419]

@ItotallyRockz it doesnt have the spot any more

[OHemGitsANNiEE]

Getting this in two weeks yayayayay! I'm so excited to get phone that like no one has yet :DDDD

[bobbin1765]

[rexanator328]

[curiousityinfashionx]

This is a great video! Is there a virtual QWERTY keyboard on the screen?

[doublea422]

@curiousityinfashionx no, there is no other keyboards then the physical one.

[secret1995]

@curiousityinfashionx nope

[epic32videoz]

YOU DO NOT NEED DATA PLAN! if u go on verizons website it doesnt say it needs

a data plan so no data plan.....

[getsum1744]

[MUSTACHE7112]

@getsum1744 nope no charge, as long as you get and internet network to connect to , its frree as a mutha fuckin beeeee,

[Blazen10cp]

How do you get ringtones? Can u download from a site and put on the phone

[nayr1130]

[TheZachmc]

[xRockerBunny474x]

Ok does anyone know how to make a txt message signature on this phone??? been trying to figure it out lol

[sk8er2193]

[thapack1994]

[TheHockeykid65]

[1267saraluv5]

how did you take the screen shot? when i tried to take it and pressed the button it took me to the ap

[deinakun]

Does the screen scratch easily? Not sure if I should get a screen protector. Also, how can you change the unlock screen wallpaper & what size image can it use?

[yanksmets135]

what should i get the LG cosmos touch or the KIN TWOm?

[70877]

can someone please help me what is difference between the kin twom and that kin two and which 1 is better

if you can please help me i would like it thank you

[yanksmets135]

@70877 kin twom is the newer and better version

[70877]

@yanksmets135 alright thanks man

[steve0rama28]

@70877 the KIN TWOm is a newer updated version of the KIN TWO...HOWEVER the original used to be a smartphone but didnt sell very well and was taken of verizons line up...the KIN TWOm replaces it and it gets rid of some features such as the KIN DOT and KIN LOOP. I heard both phones were "ok" but the TWOm seems like one of the nicer feature phones out there. i would recomend it.i might get it the TWOm because i just found out that the samsung facsinate requires a data package of $30 per month.

[PQSxGAMING]

ive been hearing lately that if u go on wifi with this fone it it still charges u is this true

[TJtherockstar]

@PQSxGAMING nope, it wont charge you.

[dgv913]

can it play youtube videos?

[RainDownOnMe97]

I think I might wanna text that number(:

[M4carbine97boy]

So u can go on the Internet using wifi if u still block data. Or u cannot block data to go online.

[McCloudJedi202]

Can't sync your iTunes from a PC? That's gonna be a drag, since I'm getting one, and it'd be neat to have my music on it. I have a PC. Does the phone come with a USB cable?

[OoxmulishaxoO]

how did you get a picture of yourself in the txting screen. i wanted to have a picture of myself instead of haveing to see a black and white picture

[glittermania01]

KESHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[koolkis13e414]

does it have a ez tip calculator

[jmo161]

For everyone who wants to sync this phone with itunes you need 2 things. 1. A mac. 2. The software he has provided in the description. If you have a windows computer you must download the Zune software.

[sswami125]

can you please make a video of you syncing it with itunes?

[funkypokemaniac006]

@ItsMeKevinG ok

[funkypokemaniac006]

the phone seems slow and laggy!

[sseexxyydude]

Can the phone forward messages and send ringtones?

[kyleisamazinglybeast]

YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA!!!![:

[uscg6008]

I love this phone so much thanks for the awsome vid i wanted to know more about it before i bought it

[WmNxBi0NiC]

sorry but 2 things can you pleese tell me how i can put my itunes songs oonto this phone and also how to put my contacts on to this phone? thank you sooo much

[rollllltide10]

can you text from the front?? like with out sliding out the keyboard??

[jamesweir04]

@rollllltide10

no there is no on screen virtual keyboard

[XxSuddenlyPsychotic]

@rollllltide10 There is no on screen keyboard so you have to use the slide out keyboard.. That goes for the Kin Onem & Twom

[videoaddict1995]

well...i cant decide between ONE or the TWO :P my current phone is the same size as the ONE so idk.what do you think:)?

[jamesweir04]

@videoaddict1995

deff the two. bigger screen and more mp's on the camera

[XxSuddenlyPsychotic]

@videoaddict1995 It depends on what you like, if you have a lot of music get the Kin Twom because it has 8gb and the Onem only has 4gb. If you are just using it for the web, camera/video, and text/calling.. just get the Onem. The design is sick! =D

[fitzmuffin711]

HI,

you mention that even if you block your data you can still receive picture messages. how do you block data on this phone?

[jamesweir04]

@fitzmuffin711

just call verizon and tell them you want to block data on ur line

[XxSuddenlyPsychotic]

@fitzmuffin711 You should call Verizon Wireless and they will do it for you over the phone. go on their website and get the number.

[DjSkunkfather]

@fitzmuffin711 yea if u call verizon ask em to block data except pics/video messages, u can also go online sign in to ur verizon account go to change features scroll all da way down till u see a box that says service blocks, and block all if u wish except pix/vids messaging.many people jus block data and leave everything else bt i jus blocked everything except pix/vid messaging to be sure lol

[kibblelovesn]

HELLO,

for messaging, you said "140 characters," this is for verizon right?? Idk if it depends on the state, but in CA the limit is 160 chars per text. Anyway, so since this phone DOES NOT have character count, r u saying u can text as long of a msg as you want and it will send???

THANKS!

[XxSuddenlyPsychotic]

@kibblelovesn It does have a character count of 140 character.. But if you go over 140, the whole txt msg you send will not send it one whole message.. the first 140 character will send then the rest will send in a separate message.. & that goes for every verizon phone if your txting someone without a verizon phone. if you txt another verizon customer, you can send as many characters as you want.
