The Motorola Napoleon, she lives after all!
For those of you waiting on Verizon Wireless to finally get real with their globe-trotting Motorola Q9 Napoleon, you’re wait may soon be drawing to a close. While we still have yet to hear any solid release dates, this latest set of in-the-wild shots of the Motorola Napoleon, bearing Verizon Wireless branding, bodes well for some sort of short-term launch window. Or not, such is the life of a rumor.
The Motorola Q9 Napoleon has been heralded (by us, even) as one of the few truly appealing cellphones to come out fo Motorola’s R&D labs in quite some time. As a truly global handset, the Motorola Q9 successor is expected to sport all the requisite internals to surf Verizon Wireless’s CDMA-based 3G network in the US and any GSM network when abroad – thanks to the dual-band CDMA and quad-band GSM radios lying under the hood. And, with a 2-megapixel camera stuffed in to the handset alongside a WiFi radio, the Motorola Q9 Napoleon is everything we wished the original Motorola Q9 was.
Given Motorola and Verizon’s inability to get the Motorola Q9 Napoleon and its Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard OS out to the public in a timely manner, many have given up hope of ever seeing this world-phone becoming reality. Let’s hope these in-hand pics build up to real-world launch in the near future.
