Sprint unveiled two new business-focused Android handsets this morning, both from Motorola: the Motorola XPRT and Titanium.

Similar to Verizon’s Droid Pro, the XPRT is a Messenger-class smartphone with a front-facing QWERTY keyboard and 3.1-inch touchscreen.  Primary business features include 256-bit AES data encryption, enhanced remote IT support, and international GSM/UMTS roaming support.  The XPRT has a 1GHz processor, an 1860mAh Li-Ion battery and a microSDHC memory card slot.

The Titanium, when released, will replace the aging Motorola i1 as Sprint/Nextel’s Direct Connect Android phone.  With push-to-talk and Military 810G specs, it is aimed at workers who need a more rugged device.   Titanium also has a 3.1-inch touchscreen and a Messenger-style QWERTY keyboard.  Unfortunately, it also runs Android 2.1 OS, which may be a turn-off for some users – still, it’s much better than the current i1’s Android 1.5. 

The Motorola XPRT will be available June 5th for $129 (direct) with a two-year contract; no release date or pricing has been announced for the Motorola Titanium.

The full press release has been posted below.
