The Motorola Admiral has been leaked in the form of a spy photo revealing the device itself along with its specifications. It seems like we are dealing with a BlackBerry-esque device sporting a portrait QWERTY keyboard and support for Sprint’s Direct Connect network. What will allegedly tick under its hood is a Qualcomm MSM8655 chipset clocked at 1.2GHz, and a 3.1-inch VGA display will grace its front. Other goodies include a 5-megapixel camera with flash capable of shooting 720p video, a beefy 1860mAh battery, GPS, and Wi-Fi-hotspot functionality.

If that is not enough, the rumor adds that the Motorola Admiral runs Andorid 2.3 Gingerbread and is built to military specs (810G), which includes resistance to dust, shock, solar radiation and extreme temperatures.

Of course, you have to bear in mind that all of this is just a rumor and the Motorola Admiral has never been unveiled officially. However, it is shaping up to be a pretty impressive blend between a smartphone and a rugged phone, at least on paper. If the Admiral is a handset that you might consider buying if it ever sees the light of day, feel free to drop a comment below and let us know.

Smart Accessories

A suite of smart accessories ensures users get the most from the Motorola Pro+. Available accessories include a Bluetooth® headset, Bluetooth car kit, portable power, and car charger.

It would have been great to see the price display with an official launch date, but perhaps that information will be on the next photograph! Oh yes, the third picture appears to be the Motorola webtop dock for the DROID Bionic.

At least one handset will be given away daily, but according to the information from Motorola, 96 units of the red hot PHOTON 4G will be awarded, valued at $549.99 each. Other prizes include $100 in Live Nation Concert Cash (480 will be given out), Motorola Roadster speakers (48 will be given away, valued at $99.99 each), and both the Motorola H17txt Bluetooth Headset and Motorola Oasis Bluetooth Headset (72 of each will be awarded  as a prize, valued at $99.99 and $79.99 respectively).

Announcements about the contest will be made from Motorola’s Twitter page (@Motorola) and Facebook page (Facebook.com/Motorola). Keep checking in and who knows? You might find yourself winning one of Sprint’s hot new Android Gingerbread powered Motorola phones.

As far the feel, the device is extremely solid and we’re loving the futuristic styling of the design, complete with angled corners. Also, the glossy bezel contrasts beautifully with the rubberized soft-touch case back. The phone runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and felt incredibly snappy during the time we spent with it. The Motorola Photon 4G is scheduled to launch this summer, though pricing information has not yet been announced. Don’t let that get you down, though — we have a gallery full of hands-on photos below!

We assume most of the other specs remain the same: the phone clearly shows an 8-megapixel camera capable of recording 1080p video, it has a 4.3-inch qHD display, and support for Verizon’s 4G LTE network. Unfortunately there’s still no word on a possible release date, but let’s hope the BIONIC’s battery life is better than Verizon’s other 4G phones. Hit the jump for two more images.

There has been no official information concerning the Motorola Droid 3 as at press time, despite showing up from time to time via leaks, including several benchmark reports. Among the rumored specifications are the 1GHz OMAP 4430 CPU, a 4″ qHD resolution display, a front-facing and rear camera, as well as Android 2.3 Gingerbread right out of the box.

Some have touted the Droid 3 to be released at the beginning of Q3 this year, but nothign has been confirmed as of yet. Since the tutorial videos have been leaked, it does point towards said device being prepared for an almost immediate release, so stay tuned for an official announcement!

The device will cost $199.99 with a new two-year contract, and will feature a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, a dual-core 1GHz processor, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), an 8-megapixel camera with support for HD video capture, an HDMI-out port, a case that is nearly identical to the original Motorola DROID X, and — according to Verizon Wireless — “double the does.” Hit the break for the full press release from Verizon Wireless.

Similar to the DROID Pro that was released on Verizon Wireless last year, the XPRT features a 3.1-inch, HVGA touchscreen display with 480 x 320 pixels of resolution. It also has a full QWERTY keyboard and a 1GHz processor. It runs Android 2.2 Froyo and features Motorola’s custom MOTOBLUR interface. Adobe Flash 10 support is present as well.

The XPRT’s claim to fame is the 256-bit encryption and controls for data management. IT departments will have the ability to remotely handle enabling PIN or password lock, password recovery, and data wipe on both the phone and the SD card in the event the XPRT gets lost or stolen from the end-user.

The XPRT is also capable of roaming globally, and features a 5 megapixel camera with a dual-LED flash. Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n support are present as well. A large 1860mAh battery should power the XPRT through a whole day, though Sprint has not released any expected battery claims.

The Motorola XPRT is due to hit shelves on June 5, and will cost $129.99 with a new two-year agreement.

To rectify this, Motorola’s VP of International Marketing, Andrew Morley confirmed, when asked if there were plans for the Atrix in the UK to receive a Gingerbread update with, “Yes, there are. We haven’t announced timings but we have announced plans for intentions”. This vague confirmation does promise a better start for the Atrix than previous Motorola handsets in Europe, which have seen poor/slow Android support in the past, especially in contrast to their more proactive US counterparts.

What is more, Morley hinted that we would be likely to receive both the US and UK updates simultaneously, almost unheard of for Motorola. So your Atrix or Atrix 4G depending on where your from should be getting a true taste of Gingerbread in the not too distant future.
