Pros: Battery life, voice dialing, stores lots of numbers
Cons: Menu system is complicated
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a small phone that will fit in your pocket, the V120C is for you. If you want one with games, try a Nokia.

| pete5668's Full Review: Motorola V120c |
I bought this phone on sale at the local Verizon store. My decision was based on the battery life for the price. This has the most. I believe it has 330 minutes standby time.
LOOK AND FEEL
This phone is sleek and slender. It has a sexy hourglass figure. Seriously, though, it is slim enough to fit into your pocket and it does look cool. The bulging battery compartment adds a lot of thickness to the unit though.
MENU SYSTEM
The menu system is really difficult to figure out. You'd think that the settings would be easy to get to, but some of them require a lot of downward scrolling to find. You can customize the order of the menu items so that your favorites are at the top, but I think they could have just done it alphabetically or something so that there was some logic to the arrangement of the menu items.
DIALING
The keys are difficult for even medium-sized fingers to press easily. I would not recommend this phone for people with large fingers. The small size of the phone makes dialing while holding the phone in the same hand a real strain on the thumb, making the speed dial feature that much more useful.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality on the V120C is superb. I can always hear the voice on the other end clearly, even in noisy environments. There is no static at all. The quality of the Voice Notes is also very clear.
ANTENNA
There is a small antenna on this phone, but I don't think it adds much in the way of reception. I wonder why they put it on there at all. Oh well, it looks cool.
RING VOLUME
The ringer is not very loud at all. I usually keep it on its loudest setting. If the phone is in my pocket, I won't hear it at all. This was never a problem with my old Audiovox phone. I could put that one under two layers of clothes and hear it just fine.
Overall, this phone is an excellent value, especially with the long standby time. The only other gripe I have about it is that there are no games on it. Other than that, it's a great buy.
