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

4. 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

overall i love this phone! my only drawbacks are that the touch screen is sensitive, there aren't many fun apps, and that the menu button and the up, down,  left, and right buttons sometimes (but rarely) freeze. i love the color on mine purple and black) and there are many ringtones to choose from. i would recommend this phone for kids who don't mind not having everything a phone can offer (ex the iphone) because other adults and picky kids may need different qualities that this phone does not have. i would recommend that you use the pulse or underwater back rounds if you have the purple phone. they both match it well.

Pros

everything but the cons =)

Cons

sensitive touch screen
some keys occasionally freeze
aren't many apps

7. still miss it but...

I got this phone in June and absolutely LOVED it. However, I eventually traded it in for the EnV3 because of the camera & flash on the EnV3. I still miss the Rival, but it used to turn off occasionally and it would lose the factory-installed quick text, plus any I added - weird! I had the white one, beautiful, and enjoyed using the partial-touch screen and loved the qwerty keyboard feel and colors...if Samsung would fix the things wrong with it, upgrade the camera and add a flash, enlarge the screen a bit and give it a higher resolution, I'd definitely buy this next time!! I don't understand why phones are released before they're tested thoroughly and all defects fixed! That's what gives them a bad rep...

Pros

ease of use
colors
great qwerty keyboard
nice size

Cons

only 2 mp camera
no flash
doesn't work as it should

I switched from the LG chocolate 2 to this phone and at first i loved it but now I just want my old phone back. The front buttons are hard to push but not that hard. The touch screen buttons work when they want too wich really makes me mad. This phones camera is horrible. the only good thing about this phone is the keyboard and the colors other than that its junk. Im sticking with LG next time.

Pros

Keyboard and colors

Cons

Everything else

This phone was simply amazing when i first got it, but its not all that. Theres nuthing funn to do on it, like the dare had a drawling padd and i really liked that. The touch screan is too sensitive and it turns off randomlyy. but i think the best part of it is the keyboredd, witch isnt a good thing, id do anything for my old *LG Dare. and im getting it back soon.   THis phone maylook awsom but its really not. But on the plus side it has a neat design and awsome colors.:)

Pros

*Full Keybored.
*slider
*colors

Cons

*Camra Sucks
*Front Keys Hard To Push
*Weak Vibration
*dose its own thing sometimes.
*nothing exrta like drawling pad ect.
