As far as i knew, the Q9N "Napolean" was cancelled by VZW. There are a bunch out there though... :) It is a great phone - the swiss army knife of smartphones really. Hopefully they do release it!

Bleagh. Please just stop with the Q, the previous 3 reworks didnt fix anything from the first one.

I didn't believe the Q9 was good because of all the issues read about it's predecessor but my BM has had her's for a year with no problems

I was the one who submitted the pictures and trust me guys, i too hope this unit sees the light of day. (im a iPhone user and I still stand by this statement) The phone feels rock soilid and the UI transitions seemlessly from screen to screen. In the short time I had to play around with it, the phone seems like a nice improvement over the previous Moto Qs

Yep - it's rock solid (probably the best Win Mo Std 6.1 platform around), but will never see broad distribution. There are several hundred in the wild and that's it.

The guy that brought it into my store said that we need to keep our eyes peel'd on Q2 2009......he didnt flat out say that the Nepoleon was coming out, but maybe a variant?

It looks like a nice phone. I have plenty of customers that just don't want a touchscreen, so it'll be nice to have altnernatives.

Does anyone know why this phone was tossed in the junk pile? I seriously hope it comes out because, like jskrenes said, I have a bunch of customers that hate touch screen phones and would love this device.

sprint still offers the q9 on there website as a closeout model the problem was win mobile users wanted technology and to alot of cust that means touch screen. there was to many windows phone with touchscreen option and if they didnt want touchscreen they opted for the blackberry. i liked the q9 myself it even came with the extended battery which is a must for any serious pda user. i think it failed do to release timing. on top of all that the iphone and instinct had just released and alot of people couldnt see past those

I wonder if this will be a release like the Q9 where it hit all the carriers at the same time?

I read a few months ago that this phone was tossed on the junk pile, a little bit of me died. This is quite possibly the best Motorola WinMo phone created. It's certainly NOT the phone they need to save them from extinction, but tossing away a pure GEM like this is proof they've lost their minds. I had the Q9m (twice) and it was an EXTREMELY well built phone but it was just too buggy and that more than anything turned me off, if this were to come out I would be in love. (Haha and my girlfriend would probably KILL me for wasting more money on another phone :-P)
