[h2] Design [/h2]
The Linux-based A1200 mobile phone (a.k.a the “MOTOMING”) from Motorola is a clamshell unit solidly constructed around a minimalist design. The phone is compact but feels just heavy enough to be taken serious. The black (actually “Licorice”) rubberized body sports chrome-finish detailing along the sides and front panel. The design feature that stands out is a smoky, transparent flip with thin embedded wires leading to the tiny speaker you place against your ear.

The Black version has a rubbery feeling.

The Red and White version is somewhat lacquered. Many think that the black has a classier feel. Its up to you
