Motorola Rival A455 / User Reviews

This phone is the biggest hunk of junk I've ever purchased. For the first little while, the phone works decently well. But then you run into problems. The "touch screen" will quit working. But don't worry, if you tilt your phone a little bit, you'll start sending blank messages... More

This phone, Ive gone through almost 4 of them now. They are cheap and break easy. If you slide it shut sometimes it shuts off. Sometimes it doesnt send messages correctly. Sometimes it freezes. Its just a mess. My first one shut off and wouldnt turn back on even for the people at the store. The second... More

For the first few months I had this phone, it was great. Easy to use, took good pictures, and was small. then it randomly started turning on and off, it would freeze for hours, the battery only lasted me a couple hours, it sent blank messages, and the touch screen would not work most of the time. I would... More

Hate this phone. Bought it for the features and the brand (our previous phones were Motorolas) Didn't last 5 months before it stopped working. The screen went white and stopped functioning. The Telus kiosk said that they had more A455's sent in for repairs than any other phone. So, we gave... More

So... I got this phone for my birthday about a year ago... I dropped a few time in the first 9 or so months. But since school started, I've been dropping it an outrageous number of times. Today, I dropped while it was on Key Pad lock or whatever and the screen went blank for about half an hour.... More

Phone has worked ok for a year. Well, I am on my second...they don't wash well in clothes washer.

It is "almost a dataphone", so no expensive extra data fees (monthly) if you opt out of them.

It's not perfect, but for what I wanted, it was the best in the store. The other brands... More

I wish i could give this phone 0 stars it is a piece of crap. i bought it last sepmtember it will randomly shut off the slider is delayed and some times the screen would just go white. If your looking to buy a phone DONT and i mean DONT buy this phone it is junk!

I've had the phone for less than a year, and since the beggining ive been having problems! The screen freezes, I send blank text messages...its SOOOO not worth it, DO NOT BUY IT!!!

I can't begin to explain how many times I have kicked myself for not doing any kind of research on this idiotic phone before I got it. Everything every other person has described about this phone has happened to me - although I returned my first 'refurbished' piece of crap to Verizon,... More

I would not recommend this phone to anybody. In terms of design, it's ok. The keyboard is well sized and easy to operate. The touch screen soft keys are an interesting concept, but I found myself accidentally navigating to menus I didn't want to go to.

However, I would never, ever tell... More

This phone is terrible. I've had it for 3 months and it is broken. I am sending it out for repairs today. Here are all the issues I have.

1) I know its not a smart phone but the web browsing experience is slow and not up to par with similar phones in this category.
2) When I pick up a call and... More

1. Often freeze and then restart... More

I've had my Rival a little over a year now and it still works good. Im not saying it's the greatest phone out there, but it gets the job done.

Pro's: Great speakers. The volume can get really loud. I love the fact that that headphone port can take regular headphones and not special one's... More

I did alot of research and decided to get the Rival because it had all of the features that I wanted and I was so excited to get this phone this past March. I use the phone for texting much more than for calling. I rarely use the camera and I do not use the web browser on it at all. Well, after actually... More

I got this phone in August. For the first few months, it worked wonderfully. It lagged a little when receiving a text message and it occasionally turned off when I slid it shut, but I'm a patient person so that didn't bother me. After about 8 months of owning this phone, it suddenly broke.... More

Personally I didnt mind this phone. I knew when I got it that it had some glitches. My friend had one before I did. The pros: its semi-touch screen so it introduces you to it a little bit. Its great for texting. Nice sound. Mp3 Player.

Cons: When you slide the phone shut it has a tendency of turning... More

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this phone! I have gone through many phones and the Rival is my favorite! I love the sound quality, the keyboard, the screen, the music player, and the many different cases that I can choose from! Being a 19 year old female college student, I like to change the cover, A LOT, and I love... More
