Pros: Easy to navigate. Backlighting makes it easy to see.
Cons: Fades in and out when it shouldn't. Poor call quality.
The Bottom Line: Only if you know this phone works well in your area should you invest in it.

| Ginger_1's Full Review: Motorola 120e Mobile Cell Phone |
Something about this particular handset just isn't right. It works well for some, but for most it doesn't. Something is wrong with a few of them internally according to what I heard from an Alltel Representative friend of mine.
The phone retails from $167-$169, but instant rebate specials make the phone a penny or free. I have experience with this phone and it tends to fade in and out or not reach out in places where other handsets from the same carrier can. I am not sure if it is an antenna problem or what it is, but for the Ohio Valley, the phone has proven to be a cell phone owner's nightmare.
As for ease of use, the phone is relatively easy to use. It is just like your typical cellular phone with your basics such as call timers, etc. The blue backlighting also makes it easy to see. Some elderly users enjoy the fact that they can see it well.
Again, some are very happy with this phone, but my personal experience with it has caused me to give it a thumbs down. Also, the fact that my Alltel friend says many customers have returned them tells me that there is an ongoing problem.
Quite strange for such a prominent company such as Motorola who invented the oh so popular StarTac.
