In Mid-April, Microsoft announced that it was releasing its formerly dubbed ‘Pink’ phones the Kin One and Kin Two, aimed at the teenager set.
Today, reports are stating that the phones go on pre-order this Thursday, with a May 13th release day.
Microsoft has not confirmed the dates, but the reports stem from leaked Verizon posters showing off the dates, so they seem pretty set in stone.
The phones will be available in the U.S. via Verizon and in the UL, Italy, Spain and Germany via Vodafone.
The Kin One specs:
- Has a compact full QWERTY keypad
- Multitouch screen
- 5MP camera with LED flash
- 4GB memory
- “Media player powered by Zune.”
The Kin Two specs:
- Full QWERTY keypad

Although set for launch next week, it appears Microsoft has jumped the gun and begun selling the 64GB model of the Zune HD early.
The model sells for $349 USD, which is a $50 discount from the comparable iPod Touch model.
Additionally, Microsoft has dropped the price of smaller capacity models, with the 16GB model dropping to an MSRP of $200 and the 32GB model to $270. Of course, Amazon has the players for much cheaper, ($170 for the 16GB for example) but seeing the MSRP drop is a good start for other e-tailers.

Microsoft has announced today that they will be releasing a 64GB model of the Zune HD media device, double the largest capacity of currently available units.
The device will be available in Platinum, Black, Blue, Red, Green, Purple and Magenta when it goes on sale on April 12th.
As an added bonus, the company is slashing the price of the 32GB and 16GB models, dropping the MSRP to $270 and $200, a $20 cut.
The Zune HD was recently in the headlines when Microsoft announced that the much-anticipated v4.5 firmware was “coming soon,” bringing with it SmartDJ and native Xvid support.
