I love my Rival. Haven't had any problems yet. I've had it for one year. I use screen protectors on the face, bought a cover for it last month. Dropped it once, nicked the side, no damage. Never have any problem w/service. I live in the country. To get AT&T I have to drive 2 miles up the road (used to have AT&T), with Verizon & the Rival, I actually answer my cellphone in the house. Qwerty keyboard is great, as it deters texting & driving. All in all, a good, phone, no problems for me. I'm a 34y.o. mother of 3, so we aren't gentle calm ppl. Always going. MP3 w/headphones...oh my gosh, can't hear a thing but my music, good quality! Speaker music is ok if not on loudest, otherwise sounds a little weird.

Pros

Looks good, works great, smaller size, easy to carry.

Cons

Couldn't agree more this phone is crap

We bought 4 for our family. Two fell apart, one is a black screen and the fourth is really loose and about to fall apart. Verizon claims the phones that came apart and the one that is really loose isn't covered by warranty and they won't replace them. The hinge is held together with 4 screws. Both the two broken ones look like they only had 2 screw instead of the four. You can see where the screws sheared off and we were told we opened the phone to hard??? The service on these phones is awful. We drop calls, don't get text messages and then the phones will send text on their own. It also shuts down for no reason. Look for another phone and another provider. Stear clear of this one.

Pros

looks pretty

Cons

durability, design, quality of sound, warranty

It doesn't rival anything, it can't even compete!

This phone is absolutely terrible. I DO NOT recommend it. I have gone through 3 of them in 5 months and Verizon finally offered to switch me to a Samsung Intensity (Which is half the retail value of the Rival). I'm glad to get a different phone and from what the reviews say about the Intensity, it is a much better phone even though it is half the price. I can't even begin to explain all of the problems I have had with the Rival. It never ended. So glad to be getting out of it!!!
DO NOT BUY A MOTOROLA RIVAL!!!!! The only thing it rivals is the trash in my trash can.

Pros

Right...I don't think so.

Cons

Absolutely everything.
Too many to list
