It Looks good but it doesn't serve the purpose by looking good. It is a big disappointment to have a phone in your hand and not being able to use it the way you want to use it
The phone turns itself on and off.The battery meter keeps fluctuating and the battery life is very bad. Replaced the battery nothing changed. No firmware. You have to have your stylus ready all the time unless you have tiny fingers to navigate

After my first Moto I swore of Motorola forever. When I had problems with my carrier replacing my phone I needed a new one in a pinch. I first bought a Nokia since they had always served me well. The Nokia 3230 was terrible. I next found this one and...

The Motorola Ming A1200 is a functional smartphone with a stylish, compact design and satisfying call quality. The feature set offers a decent range of options, including stereo Bluetooth, world phone support, a business card reader, and a media player
The Motorola Ming A1200's interface was occasionally sluggish and the call volume tended to be low. Its virtual keyboard is tiny and the microSD card slot is in an inconvenient location. Also, it lacks 3G and Wi-Fi, and the internal memory is quite low
Though it lacks some key data features, the Motorola Ming A1200 is a unique and user-friendly smartphone that delivers on call quality.

The Motorola Ming is one of those cell phones we couldn't wait to get our hands on, and once we got to use it, we knew why. It's just that fun and cool to use. Although this is an unlocked cell phone and some of its menus are in a foreign language, we...

It can be called a phone with added features. It can be operated mostly without the stylus and easily responds to a single hand. It may look like one smartphone, but, it is still a phone per se.
A1200 or Ming is awesome to look at, feels very comfortable in a pocket and enhances your Brand Image for sure. It is intuitive and has a lot of features. For someone that wants a great looking phone, this is definitely it. Looks and feels great,...
It's a rockstar! But if you want a PDA that accompanies a phone, forget about this one. Babagsak pa din siya sa category ng pagiging handset phone at hindi sa pagiging PDA accurate.

The A1200 equipped with a 2 megapixel camera and just weighs 95 grams! It has a big 2.4?240?20 pixels QVGA TFT screen, 8MB built-in memory and support T-flash memory expansion.
On the minus side, except for the fancy transparent flip and rubberised feel of the casing, there was little to differentiate this device from preceding models. In other words, it is getting a little boring to keep looking at the same old devices with...
