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.
The Motorola logo in the centre of the transparent screen cover also acted as the earpiece speaker when the clamshell is fielding a call while flipped open. If you look closely, you can see a thin strip of conducting material running around the perimeter of the transparent screen cover and connecting to this earpiece that we just mentioned. However, the beauty was marred by the little pieces of gray rubber that were put there to protect the USB and headset ports from dust. This is similar to what Samsung likes to do with its phones, that is to place little rubber protectors over the ports of the handset. Those little rubber things spoil what is otherwise an extremely classy exterior of silver and black.
