Motorola Admiral shows up in YouTube video, promptly set to private

I love it when the person in charge of getting things put up on YouTube forget to mark the video private. The leak could have been intentional to see what the reaction was or it could have been a complete user error. One never knows what is going on behind the scenes. No matter what happened, enough people got to take a look at it for a few minutes before it was . The Motorola Admiral is still one of many devices that is ‘unofficial’ and is said to be headed to Sprint.

The spec sheet that went cruising around the web last week got some juices flowing in the right circles. The device is said to be packing a 1.2GHz single-core processor, a 3.1″ VGA display, a 5-megapixel rear camera (720p video capable), CDMA-based Direct Connect capabilities, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. None of those specs are all that impressive if you ask me.  The design of the device looks an awful lot like a Blackberry with its QWERTY keyboard positioned just below the screen. Just above the 4 row keyboard are your traditional 4 soft touch keys for menu, home,back and search.

What makes this device stand out from the crowd is not the layout, the internal hardware or the camera. This little guy is featuring Military grade  dust, shock, vibration, solar radiation, low pressure, high and low temperature resistance. That right there makes this a go to device for those of you in the working class that want an Android device but run out of insurance claims in the first 3 months. There isn’t any word floating around on a price tag suggested yet. Even with its semi average hardware I think the Military grade aspect might push the price tag up a little.

I know there has to be someone out there that could really use this device. Anyone have any horror stories about how they ruined their device on a job site?
