Pros: Light, sleek, beautifully structured, long battery life, easy to personalize.
Cons: Muffled tones (may be just mine), no proven track record.
The Bottom Line: The newest Motorola phone is a pure blend of style, sophistication, and features that leaves other mid-range phones in the dust!

| blakebowyer's Full Review: Motorola V120c |
I have been a cellular user for a while now. I've used several phones casually for personal uses. Though I don't feel I put my cells to intense tests with perpetual talking or careless maintenance. I used the popular Nokia 5190 from the series that invented the customizable phone. Though I was extremely pleased with the features and clarity. To say the least, as content as I was with my Nokia, this phone blows it out of the water.
First, the phone is beautifully shaped and styled. The Silver accents add a neo-flair that is not only sleek, but classy. I can compare it to a well-designed car, like a Mercedes or BMW with simplistic class and an original look. The buttons are also attractively situated and blend well with the phone. Though the "skins" for the phone currently pale in comparison to the Nokias, the phone just went public so I'm sure the library of wraps will expand once people discover what a great looking phone this is.
The clarity of the phone obviously depends on your service. I am currently with Verizon, and the reception is crystal with a convenient volume control for those who want to adjust to the conversation. The biggest problem I have with this phone is the low key and ring volume, which is hardly audible if you're driving in your car. I'm not sure if it's just my phone (if you also have problems with this, I would appreciate a description sent to icynight1@aol.com), but it's terrible irritating when I miss a call. Though, the phone is equipped with an internal vibrating alert that can help conquer this problem.
The features on the phone seem abundant compared to my other phones and, though there are no games, the phone is easy to navigate after a few minutes of tinkering and the menus are full of features very uncommon for the price-range. There are 32 ring tones, unlimited customizable qualities, internet access, optional FM radio, etc. that will keep you happy with your purchase long after you buy it.
Though my other concern is itfs unproven reliability and durability record, the phone is built and programmed to uphold countless accidental spills and drops. The architecture of the phone is modern, but not gaudy and will surely remain one of the chicest phones on the market. Good ahead and buy a Motorola W120c, itfs well worth it to be part of a new wave of trendy technology.
