 |  Q9 World Phone for Verizon - Codename Napoleon I don't know if anyone saw this yet, it doesn't appear to be posted anywhere. http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/03/m...r-for-verizon/ http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/...s-world-phone/ Besides the whole world phone thing, Wifi, and fingerprint scanner (seems useless to me but whatever), there's a few other little design tweaks that I like, even if BGR says the keyboard is worse than the other Q9s. A dedicated backspace key on the keyboard is nice. Moving the numbers over a row so that the 5 is on the same key as the F makes a ton more sense too (so that the bump is on the F as most people are used to, not the D which just feels weird.) The percentage symbol being on the key instead of hidden in the Fn-Caps combo menu is nice. I just wish they didn't keep totally changing around the location of all the symbols. Did they get rid of the GPS, or is it just locked down because its Verizon? It also appears to have a new interface which looks like crap to me, way too cluttered compared to the sliding panels. (there's a ton more images at the BGR link if you click on gallery.) Last edited by jhoff80; 07-03-2008 at 06:53 PM. |

| I was ready to shut it down for the holiday. I get back from mowing the lawn and I see the Moto Q 9 Napoleon.  Where to start.... How about this Q looks all kinds of awesome. Fingerprint scan to unlock. Nice. Really impressed with the styling. Overall, just looks like a nice upgrade from the current Q 9 series.
