Unboxing the Microsoft Kin, Virtually

Microsoft on Monday unveiled its new Kin social phones. We got a peek at the new devices during a New York press event.

Microsoft's new "Kin" phones come in some very unusual cylindrical boxes. At the launch event, we got to see the boxes that the Kin will come in, as well as the two Kin phones themselves.

This isn't a true unboxing - the phones weren't inside the retail packaging, and the boxes were missing the power adapters, USB cables, and headsets. But nevertheless, we took apart the packaging and looked at the Kin's unusual manual and where everything would go. Take a look at our slideshow to see the Kin One and Kin Two.
