I'm on my second rival, and it's just pissing me off. There is always something messing up on it. My first one the screen went completely out, just went completely black and i couldn't do anything with it. Now, I have my second phone and it freezes up, lags, and my f-ing screen is now WHITE! I just wish i could chuck this phone at one of the manufacturers.

Pros

Purple is my favorite color.

Cons

EVERYTHING ELSE!

I switched from the motorola crzr to the Rival. I disliked the crzr so much that I swore I wouldn't get a motorola phone but the Rival proved me wrong so far. I love the size, it's much smaller than most other phones out today which is good because I need a pocket sized phone. The resolution is amazing, I transfered my pictures over and they are 10 times clearer. I love the semi touch screen although I wish you could text on it. Another great thing about this phone is the way the symbols turn green. I have heard about a lot of people braking there Rivals, but I figure if you're gentle enough, the phone shouldn't break.

Pros

-QWERTY keyboard
-size
-user friendly
-personal
-touch screen
-resolution
-camera

Cons

-cannot text on front
-cannot touch menu options

Rival Review

The phone, itself, and the idea behind is great, but I've had a few problems with mine. I've had it for 28 days and am now recieving a new one. About two weeks in, I started having issues with the sounds. If someone would call, my phone would ring, but I couldn't hear anything on the other end, and while that was going on, my keypad buttons wouldn't make sounds either. Those issues seemed to resolve themselves after a couple days, but another two weeks later, the screen just blanked out. I used the calculator, exited out of it, and my screen had a green tent to it. After I closed the keyboard, the normal colors came back, then shortly there after, it was all white. I turned it off, took the battery out, but it back in, and turned it back on, then my screen was black. When I slid the keyboard in and out, the screen would light up white for a split second as if there was a short in it or something. I've gone to Verizon and they're sending me a new phone (I'd rather have something different after all that but they won't do it), but the fact that I'll be going 5 days without a phone with no reimbursement is a bit of an inconvenience. One more thing... about half of the time, when I slid the keyboard in or out, it punched the 6 then called it by itself. I slid it every way I could think of, and it still did it. That was quite aggravating. I'm hoping the second phone works out better, and if it does, then I'll write a better review once it has proven itself. Until then, I'm highly unsatisfied. What can I say? Alltel spoiled me.

Pros

It takes decent pictures outside
The keyboard
Easy access shortcuts for what you want to do
Volume settings that include the alarm

Cons

The defects listed above ^
Its boring
There's not alot to choose from for ringtones, backgrounds, and games unless you want to purchase them (then there's still not alot to choose from)
The buttons on the keyboard will eventually be scratched and faded from the slider
You can only talk on speaker phone while the phone is charging
I wish I could still have Alltel service
