According to one of the Korea Time’s sources, Samsung is preparing an Android smartphone designed to go head-to-head with the BlackBerry in the U.S. Said to have a form factor similar to the BlackBerry but with the addition of a touchscreen display, KT’s insider claims that Samsung is negotiating with AT&T and Verizon to have the phone on the market before the year’s end. Beyond the name Galaxy Q, nothing else is known about the phone. Samsung is hoping to make significant gains in smartphone marketshare through 2010 with a goal of shipping 18 million devices, although it seems quite a lofty goal considering the popularity of smartphones from Apple, HTC, Motorola, Nokia and RIM.
