So, I was in a Verizon store yesterday, and chanced to ask the store manager about a "Kin One" feature phone. (I know someone who was looking for a new feature phone.) He responded by bashing the (admittedly short-lived) Kin, and Windows Phone 7 in general.
I was rather taken aback, even as an Android fan. The store manager told me that they merely unbox the shipment, play with them, and ship them back. He described high return rates and described the software as a nightmare. It got me to thinking, if the store manager won't even stock them, no wonder Microsoft can't sell them.
I think Windows Phone 7 has a beautiful UI, so I was shocked. I certainly hope this is the exception rather than the rule!
