Motorola Q9 ‘Napolean’ brings GSM and CDMA together

by Nick Marshall

Verizon Wireless customers looking to get their fix on a CDMA/GSM combination device have been forced to look into the weary eyes of the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition, but today Motorola wants a piece of the action.  Today we have news of an upcoming Motorola Q9, labeled the ‘Napolean’, which delivers both CDMA and GSM radios and adds a twist for the global GSM traveler.  Unlike previous CDMA/GSM combination devices, the Q9 Napoleon has quadband GSM support which means you can use the device in the US on either T-mobile or At&t.

Other than the quadband GSM capabilities of the Motorola Q9 Napolean, the updated Q9 comes with Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard, EVDO Rev A, Quadband EDGE, a 2.0 megapixel camera with flash and WiFi.  For an added bonus, the Q9 Napolean also includes a fingerprint scanner in case you happen to need to authenticate an associate in your next business meeting.  Honestly the usefulness of a fingerprint scanner, really?  I think it’s time for the ‘Last Stand’ / ZN12 / Alexander to launch already and let’s see what Motorola has left in the fridge before we turn out the lights.
