Microsoft Corp. unveiled two cell phones on Monday that are meant for social networking-savvy teens and twenty-somethings, in an attempt to revitalize its mobile business and regain ground on iPhones and BlackBerrys.

Verizon said it will start selling the Kin phones online in early May and in stores shortly thereafter. In the fall, carrier Vodafone Group PLC -- which owns Verizon Wireless in partnership with Verizon Communications Inc. -- will start selling the Kin phones in Italy, Spain, Germany and the UK Microsoft has not yet announced prices.
KIN came together through a partnership between Microsoft, Sharp, Verizon Wireless, and Vodaphone. I share this because all along Microsoft said that they wouldn’t make a phone. Technically, Sharp made it, so I guess the company can still say that they didn’t make a phone and that there’s no such thing as a Zune phone. To me, though, it’s a Microsoft phone with some Zune pieces.
