Motorola Rival A455 (Verizon Wireless)

 

The Motorola Rival has a neat touch screen, but can't match up to its texting competition.

Nice touch-screen dialer. Comfortable keyboard. 3.5mm headphone jack.

So-so RF reception. Poor camera. Some balky buttons.

The Motorola Rival offers a slew of multimedia features and good call quality.

The Motorola Rival's navigation controls are poorly designed. Also, it has a lackluster display.

Though we like the Motorola Rival's features, its poor design keeps us from recommending it.

Motorola Rival A455 Video Review

 

The Motorola Rival is making a grand entrance into Canada and competes with all the other QWERTY devices out there. This was released by TELUS last week and I can see this eventually ending up at their sub-brand Koodo Mobile one day.

Here is Phone Scoop's quick take on the new Motorola Rival for Verizon Wireless. Solid hardware and a slight refresh of the Verizon user interface make it a decent messaging pick.
