It looks like those earlier rumors surrounding the KIN ONE and KIN TWO were correct. Well, at least partially correct anyway. In short, the KIN ONE and KIN TWO have both been given price cuts, or should we say a price slash.

As of this morning, the Verizon website is now reflecting prices for the KIN ONE and KIN TWO as $29.99 and $49.99. Granted, its not the free that many were thinking for the KIN ONE, but $30 is not all that bad of a deal. Not to mention, the price for the KIN TWO was cut in half from the previous price of $99.99

And coming as an added bonus, these prices both reflect online discounts. In other words, there are no messy mail-in-rebates that you have to deal with. Plus, if for some reason you wanted more than one, well, you are in luck. According to the listing, both of these handsets are listed as BOGO, or buy one get one. Basically, if you buy a KIN ONE you can get a second for free and if you buy a KIN TWO you can get a second for free.

Both also come with the standard two-year agreement, but that almost goes without saying. Still, a word of warning as Verizon considers these advanced devices which means a $350 early termination fee should you cancel before your two years are up. As for that monthly contract, sort of expensive if you include all of the goodies. You have your monthly calling plan, plus a $29.99 data package. Then you could also add in the Zune Pass for an additional $14.99 per month.

Otherwise, both handsets feature heavy social media integration, touchscreen displays, Bluetooth, QWERTY keyboards and an HTML web browser. You will also find a decent camera on each, the KIN ONE has a 5MP lens and the KIN TWO has an 8MP lens.
