That [unnamed Motorola smartphone](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/25/sprint-details-q4-cdma-direct-connect-launch-plans-and-handsets/) coming this fall to help usher in Sprint's new CDMA-based Direct Connect service? It appears to be the Admiral. If the name sounds familiar, [its trademarked logo](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/09/leakster-names-sprints-latest-samsung-epic-4g-touch-htc-evo-d/) actually appeared simultaneously with the [Samsung Epic 4G Touch](http://www.engadget.com/tag/epic+4g+touch/). But it's so much *more* than a name now, thanks to a tipster who sent in an image of the device next to some well-detailed specs. The Admiral will likely be a [portrait QWERTY](http://www.engadget.com/tag/portrait+qwerty/) Android 2.3 device powered by a 1.2GHz single-core Qualcomm MSM8655 CPU, and will feature a 3.1-inch VGA display, 5 megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording and a stellar 1,860mAh battery. Oh, and it's a rugged phone that's built according to 810G military specifications. If this truly is the mystery Motorola Direct Connect smartphone we've been waiting for, it's bound to turn a few hard-hat-donning heads.
