How to get photos small enough for "Favorite" Contact Screen
Hey all. Having a problem getting the photos small enough for the "Favorites" Contacts Screen. I cropped everything out of the photos except for the face, saved it in the smallest image size possible, emailed the pics to my phone by sending an email to phonenumber@vzwpix.com . Once it's on my phone, I edit it and use my…
kin onem- daughter wants -is this a good phone?
Hi, I am a first time user so please be patient. My daughter has a Samsung Intensity and now wants to upgrade to a Kin Onem. I, however, am technically stupid. Is this a good phone to get? I believe she wants a decent camera,touchscreen and maybe internet. I heard she could get this option for free on this phone. She gets…
Sounds
I've recently started saving new ringtones to my phone, but unfortunately, the site that I use to create and send ringtones isn't very imaginative with their naming, so when I save a ringtone with the same name as a previous saved ringtone, the older one is overwritten. Is there any way to rename saved sounds, or enter a…
Background noise for person I'm calling
Has anyone had anyone complain about a lot of background noise when you call them from your Kin TwoM ? Just received my phone last night, and the first person I spoke to asked me if I was driving because the noise was so loud. I told them no, I was sitting at my desk. I turned down the volume as far as it would go and they…
Default URL
Somebody please check what their default website was when first using the Kin TWOm browser. I had marked it as a favorite then accidentally deleted it with the two-fingered tap. It's some kind of wap or .mobi site that is the VZW portal for the smartphones I am guessing, and I actually thought it was pretty good and didn't…
Can't find a way to change font size, font color, background color ??
I'm really liking a lot of things about this phone, but there's a few things I am still trying to figure out. The texts that appear in the bubble that pops up are pretty legible, but if you're looking at a text under messages, or a thread of texts from one person, the text is light gray on a white background and TINY!!! I…

Podcasts?
While I don't have my kin twom yet, have been messing around with the zune software and was wondering. I know I can download podcasts on my pc and they'll update that route.....with wifi enabled on my kin when I get it, will the podcasts update over wifi by chance? Or do I HAVE to sync in order to get the new podcasts?
How do you dial extension numbers?
I have tried the upshift to get the numbers, but they won't trigger extensions on the number you are calling.
Please put GPS (Geotag) back to KIN ONEm and TWOm.
When I ordered KINs (right after Verizon announced the ONEm and TWOm), the specification page listed the GPS as one of its feature. I see current page stated that there is no Geotag as a part of "Video" feature. Now my question/feature request to Verizon here is to put geotag feature back to ONEm/TWOm. This should not be…

That confused me since this website says it doesnt. Does it matter if you have a family plan? please HELP
Why is the woman at the top of this page shaving with her phone?
Just an observation!
Kin TWOm vs. LG Cosmos Touch
My family is now eligible for an upgrade, but my parents don't want to pay for data plans, and I'm a poor college student with no money to do so, so I have to stick with the feature phones and choose something with no data required. I've looked into them, and I'm stuck between the Kin and the Cosmos Touch. IMO, here are…
kin onem/twom
I keep reading reveiws saying they're touch screen but do they have a QWERTY keyboard as well? I bet there isn't because there is no picture of it on this site. Also is there a calender or not?
Kin Twom Charging question
I have been using Kin Twom for about a week now and like it. But been having some issues with charging. Problem is it doesn't indicate when the charge is full. Anyone else have this problem? How long have people been charging the phone for full battery? and is there any way to know if it is fully charged?

Kin One data block - text message warning - Free VZW Msg...
I just got a Kin Onem to give as a gift to my daughter. I subscribed to the minimum mandatory $1.99/MB data plan, intending to disable data on the phone to keep the cost low and use the phone as a feature phone, with occasional WiFi data use. In the Service block settings on the MyVerizonWireless web page, I turned off all…
Please Help!! Kin Onem Question!!
So, I just got the Kin one today in the mail-and I'm supposed to bring it into the local Verizon store tomorrow to get it connected to my new number. I've been playing with my phone for a while and using my own wifi connection to browse on the internet. My question is, is this wifi free? And by free I mean NO data charges,…
sync for contacts
Under reviews, someone posted this, "I Exported mine from Back-Up Assistance and Imported them into Windows Live Mail and then Synced that with my phone." I have imported all of my contacts into my windows live (hotmail) account, but can't figure out how do I sync my KIN with Windows Live Mail? I can't find any info on…
Texting memory?
How many text messages can the Kin Onem hold? For example, how often will I have to be deleting texts, does it keep them forever, or does it only hold 100 or so at a time?
zune software
My computer OS is XPSP3 and considering getting a KIN phone. Do I download the software for a Windows Phone 7, http://www.zune.net/en-US/products/windowsphone7/default.htm or this version, http://www.zune.net/en-US/products/software/download/default.htm Thanks
New Kin two won't sync to my computer?
My computer recognizes my Kin two phone but it asks for installation hardware which didn't come with the phone. It then says it was unable to install the new hardware. In which case, Active sync won't recognize my phone. Anyone else have any problems syncing their phone?
KIN wifi internet
I am interested in upgrading to a KIN Twom or KIN Onem. I was just wondering if anyone who currently have one of the two KINs can share their expereince with going on the internet using wifi. How fast is it? How long do you have to wait for a page to load? Is it easy to use? Many thanks
Is the KIN TwoM able to send texts over 170 characters to other Verizon users?
So one thing that basically all Verizon phones have is Backup Assistant. From what I read, the new KINs are the exception. Likewise, it's nice to be able to send texts over 170 characters as single texts to other Verizon customers. If you try to send texts that are over 170 characters to non-Verizon customers, you'll get…
Back to the Moto Z6c
Well, I really tried to love the Kin twom for a few days. There is a lot going for this phone and it could be a very successful feature phone with a tiny bit of effort on MS and VZW's part. Sadly, though, I am pretty sure they are just trying to burn off inventory and don't really intend to support it, but there will be…

Kin Onem- Creating a Kin account from the phone and other issues
I got my new Kin Onem yesterday, and so far I like it, but I'm having a couple of problems. I haven't been able to set up my Kin account from my phone and no one at the Verizon store or customer support has been able to figure out why it isn't working. I read on some of the previous posts in this forum that the feature it…
