I wish this was true...The entire Napoleon team has been laid off and this product is officially canceled. It's a great phone unfortunately it will never see the light of the day except a few pieces on ebay.

I really wanted this phone. have been using the Q for 2 years and just tried the Omni, what a piece of junk. Any other suggestions?
