For anyone who say's this keyboard is blatently ripping off of the blackberry keyboard,

You are wrong. Dead wrong.

This is an Android phone, and there is no way an Android manufacturer would ever copy a competing manufacturer.

Android is unique and origional and just, well, the absolute best.

Eat your heart out iPhone 4, this thing has a keyboard!(and ANDROID!!!! open source ftw!)

Looks interresting

If your not a fan of the new Blackberry Bold this might be an option. I think it's interesting Moto put the speaker on the front rather than the back like EVERY other phone. Possibly for better speaker phone performance. And the XPRT & Droid Pro keyboards aren't that bad. It just seemed to me those weren't the best quality Moto's put out. But the Admiral looks like Moto may have actually taken that design seriously.

Wow!!!

I'm really impressed by the specs and the price for this phone. Not too long ago Motoral released the Titanium which currently is on sale for $170 after MIR and the specs have nothing on this phone coming out. Hopefully the sprint direct connect works as well as nextel direct connect so walkie talkie customers finally can have good internet too.
