While it's admirably small and light, with nicely designed keys packed into a tight keypad, the Pantech C120 (which Cingular offers through its pay-as-you-go GoPhone plan) suffers from poor call quality, a mediocre display and iffy messaging features. With its slim profile, VGA camera and tri-band support for some international usefulness, the C120 might suffice for style-mongers who don't want to sign a long-term service contract, but regular chatters can certainly do better.

Specifications

  • Tri-band GSM/GPRS
  • VGA camera
  • AOL, Yahoo and MSN instant messaging
  • Speakerphone
  • Voice memos
  • Measures 4 by 1.7 by 0.5 inches; weighs 2.6 ounces

    Price and availability

    Available now on Cingular's GoPhone pre-paid service for about $50.
