Details and Pictures Emerge On HTC's Q Killer
See, they say Q killer. . .
But the Q itself is nothing more than a "Blackberry Killer", and last I checked, the Blackberries are far outselling the Q. I think in most cases that once products start emerging that are called the "[whatever] killer]", than [whatever] is pretty damn successful. How many times have we heard "iPod Killer" in the past 3 1/2 years? Has it happened yet?
That said, I don't think the Q is anywhere near successful enough to have it's own "killers" after it, at least not yet. I think the new Blackberry Pearl, and future Blackberries with cameras/wifi/GPS, whatever will only expand RIMs wireless empire.

I totally agree Blackberry did it first and IMO did it best. though the excalibur is a very nice phone i dont see anyone rushing out to get it,but if RIM made one of these I think everyone would it comes down to who the consumer trusts and hears about the most, HtC is constantly re-badged or re-named so therefore the public doesn't exactly know the company.

In saying "Q killer", we don't mean to imply anything about whether we expect this model to be successful or not. We only mean that HTC seems to have designed this device to compete with the Q (and BlackBerry, Treo, E61, etc.)

Right, I figured as much - "Q Killer" is the general label that's been given to this device, and it does seem to be clearly aimed as a shot across Motorolas bow.

The Excalibur competes more with the Q because both are Windows Mobile Smartphones. The Samsung i320 is also in that camp, but "i320 killer" doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same way as "Q killer". 😉
BlackBerrys have a similar form factor, but they run their own OS, so it's not directly comparable, IMO.

Not entirely 😛 - yeah, it was an exaggeration, but their market share continues to increase. And despite lawsuits, knockoff devices, & competetive software suites, RIM is still the single largest mobile email server/software provider/device maker. If they come out with a camera/media phone, they'll only continue to expand on their popularity & market share.
