Motorola Napoleon Q9: Verizon’s World Phone
Man, Motorola just can’t keep a lid on anything anymore can they? We’ve got a hold of a phone codenamed the “Napolean” and it’s a CDMA EV-DO Rev. A Q9 with full GSM world roaming capabilities. This even includes the U.S. 850MHz/1900MHz bands! Even though it’s Verizon branded and will launch on Verizon, we loaded in our AT&T SIM and away we went. We’ve found the following specs on the phone so far: fingerprint scanner (seriously, on the back), Windows Mobile 6.1, EV-DO Rev. A, quad-band EDGE, 2 megapixel camera with flash, stereo speakers, 320×240 resolution screen, Wi-Fi, and a 1500mAh battery. The keyboard isn’t as good as the first Q9 or Q9m, and the d-pad is incredibly stiff and difficult to use. Sound sounded good though, and the screen seems to be the same as the original Q9s. We’ll keep diggin’, but in the meantime, take a look at a gallery, ok?

Is Napoleon spelled incorrectly, or is it supposed to be that way?

What’s it gonna take to get an autofocusing camera on a Motorola? Been waiting a while for that. But Rev.A AND WiFi sounds promising.

No trackwheel, sorta like the Q9h. The fingerprint scanner seems so G-man if it wasn’t for the camera.

For every non-iphone there are many lists of what the device has. There is never mention of what it can do. Most of the features are poorly designed and do not work well.
You owe it to the shirtless idiots to at least put it to a test.

Its a lot better than that lime green thing Moto had come out lately. If they would just chuck the keypad move the function buttons down and make it touch, moto would have another contender and wont have to give up on the cell phone market. Out of the Q series,far as what they have right now, this one is the best looking by far.
