Microsoft Kin
 

If anyone feels like discussing these phones then please go ahead. I just want to point out that the past few days I've really felt the desire to use the "Share" button with more than just pictures. The Microsoft Kin devices have the ability to "Share" just about anything from music and pictures to links and status updates.

The n900 already has an entire Sharing architecture built it, it just needs to be exploited by more applications.

Imagine being able to highlight a link in the browser or a piece of text and after a long press brings up the context menu, click Share to send that text off to update your facebook status or a new twitter post without having to launch any other apps or wait for websites to load.

Or listening to the radio or Media player and Sharing the band and title of the song (or movie). On my Zune the facebook client has the ability to pick up what song you're playing and post a link to its Zune marketplace page as a status update which I always felt was really cool.

I've been doing some reading on sharing plugins and the application I'm developing will be sure to have ways to Share things beyond just pictures.

I like the form factor - of the one - but read engadget's dreadful review.. and think maybe i'm too old for it.. i realy need my exchange sync..

The iHerd/Droid's obvious reaction: No App Store? No thanks.

(I'm neither, btw.)

They're decent phones, but they look like they were designed for Elementary School kids, especially the Kin 2 keyboard.
