Motorola Q9 Napoleon

Did those pictures of the Motorola Q9 Napoleon yesterday catch your eye? Sad times, because the word is that even though there was a limited run made for government trial, the Q9 Napoleon will not see a full-fledged commercial release on Verizon, and some say that it will actually be the last Q coming out of Motorola. Luckily, there are plenty of these phones floating around on Ebay and elsewhere, so if you want to get your hands on a little bit of history, it might be worth looking into. Of course, there’s the off-chance that the rumour’s totally bunk and that Verizon will really be releasing the Napoleon, but a few sources don’t think so…
