Verizon’s Motorola Rival A455 and Casio Exilim C721 coming on June 10
By Ilinca Nita on 29 May 09If you’re wondering when Verizon will launch the Motorola Rival A455, we’ve got the answer: the new messaging phone will be on sale starting June 10.
As we’ve seen before, Motorola Rival A455 is a slider with a full QWERTY keyboard.
It has 1X EV-DO connectivity, a 2.2 inch 176 x 220 pixels display, external touch dial pad, GPS, 2MP camera and MicroSD card support.
According to BGR, Motorola Rival costs for only $99. Of course, this price requires you to sign a 2-yr contract agreement and is available only after a $50 mail-in rebate, because, otherwise, the phone retails for $269.
The Rival A455 will be available in two colors: silver and purple.
Another new phone that Verizon will launch on June 10 is the Casio Exilim C721.
BGR has it that the Exilim C721 will be available for $279 after a $50 mail in rebate and 2-yr service agreement, or for $449 free of contract.
Kind of expensive, but the new Casio phone has some pretty cool features, including:
- 5.1MP camera with autofocus, 3x optical zoom, image stabilizer and flash
- EVDO Rev A connectivity
- 2.3 inch QVGA internal display
- GPS
- HTML browser
- Water, humidity, vibration and dust proof
Together with the new LG phones (enV 3, enV Touch and Glance), Motorola Rival and Casio Exilim will give Verizon’s customers a wide range of choices this summer.
