Wireless keeps keeps you connected to your social network with one-touch access
to messaging and a side– sliding, backlit QWERTY keyboard. It's compatible with
Verizon's V Cast Music Service, which enables you to purchase songs through your

stay on course thanks to the VZ Navigator GPS turn-by-turn direction service.
And with the optional Visual Voice Mail service, you'll be able to quickly and
easily scroll through your messages and pick the ones you want to listen to.
This pocket-friendly side-slider with QWERTY keyboard features one-touch
access to both text and instant messaging as well as a 2-megapixel
camera/camcorder, Bluetooth for handsfree devices and stereo music streaming,
MicroSD memory expansion up to 8 GB, bilingual interface (English/Spanish),

Broadband Connect service, and up to 5.3 hours of talk time.
Verizon Wireless Service
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to
the Internet and Verizon Wireless multimedia services (additional charges
applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak
rates up to 2 Mbps. (Learn more about
where EV-DO
coverage is offered.) The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs
instantly to your phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the
files to your phone. If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of
the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your
phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your
account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast
Music offers nearly 2 million songs, with more being added all the time.
In addition to the V Cast Music service, this phone is also compatible with
the Verizon Wireless V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which enables you to access
this exclusive digital music service for RealNetworks and for MTV Networks. V
CAST Music with Rhapsody delivers unlimited monthly access to music on up to
three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs
and Web browsers. In addition, customers who purchase music over-the-air are
able to download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of
digital rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can
be played.
With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access the Verizon Wireless VZ
Navigator service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted
turn-by-turn directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million
points of interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and
detailed color maps.
Getting on the Internet is easy using the Verizon Wireless Mobile Web 2.0
package, which allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages
and view your favorite web content on your phone. The Verizon Wireless Media
Center wireless download service is also fully compatible with this phone. This
pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity
tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the
Media Center service.
With Visual Voice Mail, you can delete, reply and forward voice mail messages
without having to listen to prior messages or voice instructions. Visual Voice
Mail is the ideal tool for the busy mobile professional who may need to
prioritize which messages he or she listens to first. Features include on-screen
access to voice mail message status, save up to 40 messages for 40 days (or
archive permanently), create up to 10 different caller ID-based greetings, and
reply via call back, text or even voice mail.
With Mobile Broadband Connect (subscription required), you can use your
smartphone as a modem for your notebook when you connect the two using a USB
cable--or open a Bluetooth connection--enabling you to access the Internet or
your company intranet. The tethered modem capability is ideal when you're
traveling and need to use your notebook to check email, access corporate
networks, or download large files like presentations and reports. And with
Mobile Broadband Connect, you won't have to buy an extra PC Card or other
devices.
Phone Features
The face of the Motorola Rival has a 2.2-inch LCD screen (176 x 220 pixels, 65K
color depth) that's complemented by round directional navigation rocker that's
surrounded by send/end keys. The phone's full QWERTY keyboard slides out from
its side and the screen auto-rotates to landscape view. To dial a number with
the slider QWERTY keyboard closed, press the Dial Pad key (placed above the
green Send key on the left side of the face) to bring up an alpha-numeric keypad
on the screen. You can then dial your number by simply tapping the numbers on
the touch-sensitive screen.
Out-thumb your friends with IM-style texting that organizes messages by
contact, displaying them in a chat-like format. Messaging is made even faster
with a backlit QWERTY keyboard that shows only the characters and numbers you
need to use while texting in the dark. One-touch access to text message
composition, emoticons, symbols and IM or email lets you quickly chime in and
contribute to the chatter. Keep all of your important conversations handy by
holding up to 500 text messages in your inbox and outbox.
The phone includes a digital audio player that's compatible with MP3, WMA and
unprotected AAC/AAC+ formats. You can create and manage playlists directly on
the phone as well as easily sync music from your PC to the Rival via an optional
USB cable. You can store music on optional MicroSD memory cards, and the Rival
is compatible with cards up to 8 GB in size.
Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This
phone provides the latest version of Bluetooth connectivity--version 2.1 + EDR

other Bluetooth devices a snap. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream
your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect
your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up
networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server
(additional charges or subscription applicable).
The 2-megapixel camera can capture still photos in four resolutions (1600 x
1200, 1280 x 960, 640 x 480, and 320 x 240 pixels as well as a small Picture ID
size to add to your phonebook). It also features up to a 7x digital zoom
(depending on resolution setting), white balance settings (Auto, Sunny, Cloudy,
Tungsten, Fluorescent, Darkness), a self-timer, and multiple color effects. You
can also capture video clips in QCIF resolution (176 x 144 pixels) for as long
as you have available memory on an inserted memory card.
The Rvial has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging, too, with
support for sending and receiving text, picture, and video messages as well as

device for POP- and IMAP-based accounts. And of course, the QWERTY keyboard
makes it a snap to type your messages.
