The action, the feel is better...not to mention, the menus are far superior on a BB. That really is the main point...the BB OS is far superior to WM in terms of usability.That being said, I do think the Q is going to be an absolutely huge hit, largely due to all of it's "fun" features, like the camera, media player, etc. In fact, where I think we'll see the Q excel will be in pulling a lot of people who otherwise would buy a higher end conventional phone and convincing them to go with a smartphone. That will be a huge win for the carriers, who can then sell higher priced data plans. Of course, this is the kind of crossover customer that BB could aim for if it released a unit with similar multimedia features.

There are a whole lot of sports fans out there, and many already use BBs. I don't know how well the ESPN phone is doing in terms of sales, but I do think that mobile ESPN could benefit from a larger screen than on the current offering.
