Kin TwoM: Review, FAQ, Q&A, troubleshooting, etc.

I think obeythewall   wants to be able to make a different sound for a MMS/SMS text comapred to regular text message.

SMS (short messaging service) is the 'regular' text message, so i'm not quite sure what distinction he is talking about. If you could clarify your question, offthewall, that would be great, sorry if i answered the wrong question.

I upgraded Kin ONEm from my old SamSung Flipshot one week ago.  Tested to see if this phone satisfy my several requirements. It satisfied most of them or I found the workaround from this helpful forum posting until this one.

It seems like Kin ONEm mobile browser does not support HTTP BASIC Authentication (With the authentication, you'll see the popup window to ask you username and password) . Instead of asking username and password, it automatically shows "Error 401 Unauthorized: This page is not authorized. " I thought this is supported by most mobile phones by now and it was even supported by my 4-year old SamSung Flipshot. This is bummer!!

I tried to pass username: password between http://  and @hostname: port/..... ..... but it didn't work.

Does anybody know how to simulate to pass username and password from Kin ONEm browser?

I'll appreciate your input in advance since I need to make a decision pretty quickly to keep this phone or not.

If anyone is interested, I made a Kin TwoM lock screen that basically makes your phone look like a Droid...

I posted it in its own thread at the link below:

Are you having this issues with multiple web site or specific ones? If so, what web site are you seeing this error message on? You may try using the mobile version of the website.

Thanks

Err...did you read my post?

BrenHan, i'm pretty sure JohnB is replying to hbanana's post, not yours.

Just wanted to thank you for your review.  Your review sold me on the phone.  It was not a tough decision, but it was not easy to find one.  After a weekend with the phone I am happy, it is a little weird and takes some getting used to but the effort will be worth if it continues to work as well as it has so far.  I love my Zune so I wanted a reason to get one of these and you provided that with your thorough review.

Thank you,

After two weeks, my second Kin TwoM bit the dust. Exact same problem as before. Won't send/receive texts. When I try to check my email it returns to the home screen. Verizon is sending another one. Lucky me, I get to enter in the contacts a THIRD time!
