Motorola Admiral hitting Sprint on October 23

Sprint has announced that the Android-powered Motorola Admiral is arriving with its direct connect capabilities on October 23 for $99.99 with a new two-year activation or a qualified two-year upgrade.

The Motorola Admiral is a slab-style device that features a full QWERTY keyboard below the screen. The display itself measures in at 3.1-inches and has a resolution of 480x640. The Android Gingerbread device is powered by a single-core 1.2GHz processor and has a 5 megapixel camera that can record video in 720p HD.

The Admiral is the follow-up device to the previously offered Motorola XPRT. In addition to it featuring Sprint’s Direct Connect service, it is also a rugged smartphone with its 810G mil-spec design. This should make the Admiral an attractive device for anybody who is rough on their phones.

You can pick up the Motorola Admiral for $99.99 on October 23. The price of course is with a two-year agreement and is after a $50 mail-in-rebate. Tell us what you think about the rugged Motorola Admiral.
