HP Is Coming Out With New BlackBerry Killers… The Old Ones Did So Well…

September 6, 2007 by Robb Dunewood 9 Comments

 
New Rule: If the name of your company isn’t Apple, you cannot use the word “killer” when describing your new mobile device, especially if it is targeting the BlackBerry.

HP is coming out with a “killer line” line of BlackBerry hunting iPaqs according to Gene Wong, vice president of marketing of HP’s handheld global business unit.

HP, if you want to come out with a new smartphone to atone for that last batch of crap you put out, no one is going to blame you. The wireless industry is a big one and I can understand you want to get a piece of it. You’ve got to, however, stop comparing yourselves to the BlackBerry because you set expectations you can’t possibly meet primarily because your devices run Windows Mobile.

Try saying that you want to be the Treo Killer, or the Moto Q Killer. The first thing you should remember when setting goals is to make sure they are attainable.

    Anything running Win Mobile will never be a Blackberry killer, an iphone killer or an anything killer. Except maybe the user who will become overly frustrated with the device when they have to reset it every day.

    2nd, am I the only one who thinks HP’s smartphone are ugly and clunky looking.

    More crap from the windoz camp. I agree (again) with gquaglia, the only “killer” in anything which runs windoz is the dealer “killer” from the smart, experienced, customer which knows enough to reject any devices running windoz.

    Openmoko will probably put a swift end to windoz mobile products. It’s too bad companies like HP, HTC, and the others can’t see that their hardware is only as good as the crappy windoz software running on it.

    Unfortunately, most handheld manufactures are brainwashed, or maybe compensated, into thinking Win Mobile is what the people want. I guess they figure if you slap the word Windows on it, the dumb masses will flock to it since they have had such a great desktop experience with it. Case in point Motorola. They are using Linux on several of it handhelds, but chose to use Win Mobile on the Q. The Q with Linux probably would have been a good product. The Q with Win Mobile is just another crappy Win Mobile phone.

    Should be interesting seeing how HP bought the company EDS a couple of months ago. EDS has the Sprint/Nextel account for troubleshooting the Nextel Blackberry’s. Anyone see a little conflict of interest here???
