Motorola Rival A455 / Reviews

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 anyone that this would be a good phone to buy. I've had it for less than a year and I've already been through 4(yes 4) of them. The first stopped working after about two months. The screen stopped working. After replacing it, I had it for another couple of months before I encountered the next problem. It turns off or restarts randomly when opening or closing the slider. It happens the most when there are a lot of text messages saved on the phone. I then took it back to be replaced again. The next one lasted a few months before encountering the same problem. I went to replace it again. Currently on the fourth one and I've gotten to the same problem I had with the first one; the screen doesn't work. I'm currently working on getting an entirely different phone. I'm definitely fed up with this phone completely.

If you're considering getting this phone, don't. You'll be replacing it every couple of months until you get fed up with it like I did. Just move on and get another one. Sure, the keyboard is comfortable, but that's the only good thing about the phone. If I could, I would give this a rating of 0/5, but 1/5 is as low as I can go.
