Telus Releases Motorola Rival

The Motorola (NYSE: MOT) A455 Rival has crept its way into Canada, welcomed by the squealing glee of text-happy teenage girls. It’s not much to look at (2 megapixel camera, GPS, 3.5 mm headphone jack), but the full, sliding QWERTY keypad will be enough to win over most heavy messagers. The Rival was released on Verizon earlier this summer to a lukewarm reception, but should still do the job for those on a budget. You can pick up this cheap little texter for $99.99 on a three-year ball-and-chain – it should be on the Telus online store soonish.
