Guide Review - Motorola 120c

Compared to other cell phones I've used in the past, the Motorola 120c has provided me with the best functionality. It was quick and easy to set up including programming the phonebook.

The voice recognition capabilities allow me to dial numbers without entering them each time, and when I do enter a new number I'm prompted to save it or delete it. The memo feature has also come in handy for when I have information and don't have the time to write it down or don't have paper available. I've used this feature for To-Do lists, addresses and directions.

Browsing the Internet was quick and easy. While it's not very easy to view such a small screen, the Internet browsing feature is not something I use often.

With the ability to send and receive text messages, it is handy when you need to get information to someone but don't need to make a phone call.

All in all, it's a very useful and user-friendly cell phone for mobile users. The only caution I have is that the antenna tends to break off quite easily and if you're in the habit of putting your cell phone in a pocket - be careful.
