REVIEWS:-

Design:
Considering the avalanche of Razrs, Krzrs, and Rizrs that we've endured over the last three years, we can't tell you how enjoyable it is to review a Motorola handset that's so completely different (we also love that Moto didn't drop any vowels from the Ming's name, but that's another story). Make no mistake that the A1200 would stand out in any smartphone crowd, mostly because of its diminutive size. At 3.77 inches by 2.94 inches by 0.85 inch, it's much smaller than the Palm Centro or the RIM BlackBerry Pearl, and at 3.63 ounces it won't weigh you down. What's more, it fits comfortably in the hand and the rounded edges give it a streamlined appearance. We like the red color scheme on our review model, but it comes in a more minimalist silver hue as well.

Features:
The Ming has a large, 1,000-contact phone book, but if that's not enough, the SIM card can store an additional 250 names. Each phone book entry has room for seven phone numbers, two e-mail addresses, two street addresses, a Web site address, a company name and title, assistant and manager names, a birthday and anniversary date, spouse and child names, and notes. You can organize callers into groups or pair them with a photo and one of 14 polyphonic ringtones (the A1200 also supports MP3 tones).

Performance:
We tested the quadband (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) Ming in San Francisco using T-Mobile service. Call quality was admirable in most situations; voices sounded natural, and interference and static were almost nonexistent. The volume could be a tad louder, however, as we had some trouble hearing when were in very noisy locations. What's more, the sound level is not displayed on the screen when you're adjusting the volume, which makes it difficult to tell when you've reached the upper limit. At times the sound also cut in and out for a few seconds, but it wasn't enough to be distracting.
