REVIEWS:-

Motorola had announced its new Rival A455 mobile messaging phone. The phone is packed with some cool features aimed at those who love to send messages all day. The handset comes with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, with some elements of this being touchscreen.

ZDNet have managed to get their hands on the Motorola Rival A455, so thought they would offer their readers a full hands-on review of the device. I like how the reviewer said that if you want a Smartphone, but are not prepared to pay the price, then this phone mimics many of the features that you associate with a Smartphone.

The Motorola Rival A455 has a limited audience as it is intended more for the youth; this is for two reasons, the messaging features and the color choices, black with purple piping and silver with red piping.
