It was very similar to the Motorola v60, but it had only one screen and it was a candybar format phone instead of a clamshell. A big criticism was the unreliable software that the phone had, with several bugs.

The v120c was rated number three on the list of the ten highest radiation-emitting cell phones.{{cite web | url=http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6602_7-5020357-1.html?tag=nav | title=CNET: Product reviews, advice, how-tos and the latest news }}
