In the under-$100 price range, we’re accustomed to seeing flimsy, teeny-bopper touchscreens, but this bad boy seems geared toward the professional and enterprise market.
The specs include a 3.1-inch touchscreen, a 5MP camera, a 1.2GHz processor and a text-friendly QWERTY keyboard. The Admiral will ship with Android 2.3, a.k.a. Gingerbread.
Also, as the militaristic name might suggest, this model is equipped for rugged conditions. In fact, the unit seems reinforced for every naturally occurring consumer-electronics challenge except water, ironically.
In a statement, Motorola said the Admiral is “designed to meet Military Standard 810G for dust, shock, vibration, solar radiation, low pressure and high and low temperatures.” The Admiral also features scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass.
The Admiral is Sprint’s first phone featuring the carrier’s Direct Connect services, a portfolio of push-to-talk features that includes instant one-to-one calling, audio/text alerts for outgoing calls, and multiplayer calling for teams and groups of up to 200 people.
“We know our customers will appreciate this tough Android-powered smartphone that combines 3G data speeds with push-to-talk capabilities. It is designed to offer mobile professionals instant communications and mobile broadband data access when it matters most while being able to withstand the toughest environments,” said David Owens, Sprint’s vice president, product development.
With a 1.2GHZ processor, the Motorola Admiral will be ideal for both business and personal use. It has a 5MP camera for capturing valuable memories and a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video calls. Motorola Admiral users don’t need to worry about running out of space, as this device has 4GB of internal memory space. If that isn’t enough, additional SD memory card up to 32 GB can be insterted. The smartphone also supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G Mobile Hotspot and Quickoffice.
By using the Sprint Direct Connect feature, customers are allowed to communicate with two hundred other Direct Connect subscribers at the same time.
Motorola Admiral will be available from late October through telesales, online and direct sales channels. It will be more widely available in stores from November 13th and it is expected to cost no more than $99 on a 2-year contract.
