Today Sprint announced it would be offering two new Android phones from Motorola, the XPRT for business users who require enterprise-grade security features and the Titanium, a rugged Android 2.1 phone that features Nextel Direct Connect.

The Motorola XPRT looks a lot like the DROID Pro by Motorola for Verizon. The new smartphone for Sprint runs Android 2.2 with MOTOBLUR, sports a full tactile QWERTY keyboard, has a 1GHz process, support for Adobe Flash 10, 5-megapixel camera with flash, and comes with a 2GB microSD card. IT departments will appreciate that the cell phone supports 256-bit AES data encryption and the ability to remotely enable pin or password lock, password recovery and data wipe on both the phone and SD card if it's lost or stolen. Although the Motorola XPRT isn't a 4G compatible phone it does offer world-roaming on both GSM and CDMA networks and can be turned into a 3G Mobile Hotspot with the ability to share its data connection with up to five WiFi-enabled devices.

The Motorola Titanium is the successor to the Motorola i1, Sprint's first Android phone that works with the company's Nextel Direct Connect. The new Android 2.1 Titanium sports the same feature in a military-grade casing. It also a has a 5-megapixel camera with a flash and comes with a 2GB microSD card.

The Motorola XPRT will be available in June, but there's no word on when the Motorola Titanium will be available. When more information is available we'll let you know.
