Motorola Admiral (Sprint)

 

Unlike the fancy and attention-grabbing Motorola Droid Razr, the Motorola Admiral is a middle-of-the-line phone, designed not to wow but to provide a working mobile commutation solution. And it does that job very well, with good call quality and zippy...

Running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the Motorola Admiral offers snappy performance, decent call quality, a QWERTY keyboard, and a scratch-resistant 3.1-inch touch screen. It also supports push-to-talk, and its durable design will withstand harsh...

The Motorola Admiral's photo and video quality could be better. The phone comes with just 4GB of internal storage and doesn't support 4G

Responsive, functional, and tough, the Motorola Admiral makes a great workhorse phone, especially for anyone working in a tough environment. BlackBerry users will also find it a smooth transition if they want to move to the Android platform.

Motorola Admiral (Sprint)

 

The Admiral syncs email, calendars, and contacts for Gmail and Microsoft Exchange accounts, and works with many other popular e-mail accounts. Android Market offers access to over 250,000 third-party apps, nearly all of which should work fine on this...

Good voice quality. Great QWERTY keyboard. Rugged. Long battery life. Direct Connect allows for much better data speeds than iDEN

Average camera. Occasional headphone hiss

The Motorola Admiral is the best push-to-talk smartphone on Sprint.

"Not much of a "smart phone""

 

Having problems with the phone function of a "smart phone" doesn't bode well for the long term success of a phone. I should be able to hang up a call and then be able to call another person but the phone locks up and takes 90 seconds to make the call...

Very durable and easy to use. Screen is clear and reponsive to touch. The keyboard works very well considering my move over from a Blackberry.

Phone drops calls and takes 90 seconds after dial button is pushed to make calls. If you push it a second time within that 90 seconds, a second call is made thus turning your call into a conference call. The phone repeatedly locks up and needs to be

"I love my Admiral."

 

I LOVE my admiral. Granted, I am new to smartphones and I understand there are much more sophisticated ones out there. But for me, it does its job well and fits my needs. I was a Nextel costumer. And I mainly was one because I have family in South...

Fast enough processor. Calls are clear. Direct Connect works. International Direct Connect works well. Browsing is fast enough. No problems with emails. Nice Motorola and

Very minor one, is the power button (on/off). A few times I powered it off, put it in my pocket, and the button easily gets pressed thus turning it back on. But then again, I am probably one of a few people who sometimes powers the phone off.

"Not as durable as advertised. Very disappointed."

 

I had it one week when I barely dropped it and the screen cracked. I am also not very impressed by the OS. It is definitely not very intuitive and lacks some of the features I would like and expect in a smartphone. I also found that some of the...

Good battery life. Lots of apps. Decent speakers. Wifi connection. Remote connection.

Not durable. Key-board is hard to work Usability is poor. 3G is often slow. Not intuitive. Problems with people hearing me because of low bars.

I really loved this phone. As someone coming from one of the prior smartphones sprint had, had (Hero) I saw much improvement of this with the physical keyboard. I unfortunately had a loss of service in my area, and had to return the phone after using...

Excellent phone does almost everything I wanted to

 

All in all it seems like Motorola and Sprint have a good phone here, and it is an improvement leaps and bounds above the Keyocera Duro Max

Latest version of android. Write clear, easy-to-read screen. Ability to use Sprint mobile sync. Can also use my Gmail account for updating contacts, calendars, etc

Poor placement of USB charger port makes it difficult to place the phone in a car mount and leave plugged into the charger. Also seems like they need to work on. The antenna for better signal strength
