Default HTC Touch HD Called an iPhone Killer in Early Review

http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/...phone-killer-i/

"Not even a fortnight after HTC's Touch HD went official in Germany, out pops a review from Deutschland calling it the best thing since sliced bread. Okay, so maybe our translation skills are a bit off, but one thing's for sure -- it was hailed as the first "iPhone killer to deserve that name." Right off the bat, reviewers praised the TouchFLO 3D interface for masking Windows Mobile, and of course, the expansive display was drooled upon numerous times. Additionally, critics praised the Opera browser while scolding Internet Explorer, and while it's hard to say for certain whether the battery life was remarkable, it definitely seemed to get their vote of approval."

 

 

Rubbing MORE salt in the wound, a few early reviews from Germany say the HTC Touch HD is nice, really really nice.  Areamobile.de calls it the "first iphone-killer who deserves this name" and Magnus.de offers a hands-on video look.  After Darius' post yesterday, this feels a little like rubbing it in your face.  But, if you live outside the US, perhaps the lovely "iphone killer" can make it's way to your doorstep.  Sigh.

Hmmm. With all these phones coming out try to be like iPhones and calling themselves iPhone killers, maybe people should just get, you know, an actual iPhone?

If something is literally an iPhone killer, why would anybody want to get a real iPhone? (Assuming the killer is on the same carrier as the iPhone, of course.)

Seriously, you have to wonder about the "killer" monikers. When the Motorola Q was announced, it was supposed to be a BlackBerry killer. People even called it the RAZRBerry. The Q was nice and the Q9s are better, but RIM was still alive last time I checked.
