Pros: Everything the V120C has plus more. Snub antenna won't break!
Cons: Only one color, silver. Battery life.
The Bottom Line: Best 120 model motorola phone. Go for the upgrade from the C model if you have the chance. More apps and games, much better antenna.

| dkoepke49's Full Review: Motorola 120e Cell Phone |
I upgraded to the V120E several months ago after finding out that I could go back to Verizon Wireless after 6 months and do a phone upgrade. I really liked all the features I had with the C model except for the horrible antenna. It broke on me way too many times and was just a hassle. Granted, the phone worked well without it, but still, I didn't want to continue using a broken phone, in my opinion.
Anyways, if you have the chance to upgrade from the C model, do it. You get all the same features, plus a calendar/datebook, some games and a new snub antenna.
For me, the snub antenna was worth it to me. At the time, this phone (E model) with a new service agreement and Verizon Wireless was only $49. Tough to beat. I paid $30 dollars to change my service and ended up getting the phone for free. They didn't want any of my old equipment back, so I got a back-up better, charger and phone for free. Obviously, all the old C model accessories work perfectly with the E model.
So, when all was said an done, $30 and I had a new, improved phone that I was already used to. The antenna no longer is a problem, so I can just carry it in my pocket without worrying about it breaking off. Plus, I get a few extra apps and some games! Not bad if you ask me.
I like the compactness of the V120 models so this was a no-brainer for me to upgrade. The main concern I have had is with its battery. It does not seem to last as long as my C model based on its meter, but I have yet to run it down. I don't know if there is anything to worry about, but it was just a curious difference that I noticed. The meter seems to show the battery running down faster, but as yet, it hasn't ran out since I have used it.
