Microsoft’s Kin moved so quickly from curiosity to cadaver that we’ve almost managed to forget about the thing already, but one group will always remember: the KIRFers. This model is called the Haina X5-01 and it’s something of an ode to Microsoft’s less than dearly departed Kin One handset, a direct copy of the hardware we actually found to be somewhat derivative itself. This model, however, merrily leaps right over the line between imitation and clone, even stealing one of Microsoft’s sample images of the UI. Thanks to that we don’t actually have any real screenshots of what OS the thing is running, but something tells us that whatever ROM it’s rocking it won’t be nearly as adept at keeping up with our chaotic lives.
Keepin’ it real fake: the Haina X5-01 KIRFs the Kin One originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 27 Sep 2010 08:39:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
