Can anyone help me with some Motorola rival review?


I am looking for a cell phone with all latest multimedia applications in it. I am willing to have a cell phone with user friendly operating system and all high end features but I am totally confused that with which brand I should go (HTC, Nokia, Samsung, LG, and Sony). Apart from that my budget doesn’t allow me to spend more than $300. One of my friends suggested me to go for Motorola Rival, which do fits in my budget. I really like his idea and therefore I am looking out for some reviews regarding Motorola Rival? Can anyone please come up with some user reviews of Motorola Rival?

The good: The Motorola Rival offers a host of multimedia features and good call quality.
The bad: The Motorola Rival navigation controls are poorly designed. It also has an opaque screen.
The bottom line: Although, the characteristics of the Motorola Rival, its poor design prevents me from recommending it.
Motorola has been working hard in recent times, the introduction of new mobile messaging. In addition to the recent reviews Clutch Motorola and Motorola, the company also just launched the Motorola Rival, available from Verizon Wireless. It offers multimedia features and high-speed EV-DO, the rival has a shape similar to the LG Neon, with its sideways keyboard and touch pad, but its design is much less refined. The rival is available for $ 99.99 with a contract of service of two years and a $ 50 rebate.
Design
The Motorola Rival has a bit boring, industrial look, with a rectangular shape and slightly curved corners. The outer shell available in silver or pewter or purple, but is accented with touches of red and black. Measuring 3.8 inches long by 2 inches wide by 0.71 inches deep, the opponent is quite compact, and 4.4 ounces, has a very nice when in hand. The sliding mechanism is smooth but tough.
The opponent has a shiny black color and a 2.2 inch screen. Only supports 65,000 colors and has a resolution of 176x220, resulting in a rather small screen. You can set the backlight time, brightness, display themes, menu design, the dial fonts, the size of the font menu, the clock format, and if shortcuts are displayed in the selection screen start.
Below the display is the navigation array, which consists of two touch-sensitive keys (which are indicated by two small lights on the left and right), the previous marker phone key, key, one of four circular alternate routes, and send keys and on / off. There is an additional touch key on the top left of the screen, also indicated by a small light, which is only activated when the screen is in landscape mode. The circular selection can be assigned to three user-defined shortcuts to the top, left, and down directions and right leads to a My Shortcuts menu lists four additional shortcuts.
On the left side of the phone are the volume control, the key speaker and a connector for the charger and the headphone jack of 3.5 mm, a screen lock key, a voice command key, and the camera key are on the right. The camera lens and external speaker are on the back of the phone.
