I had no problems charging batteries in my unit, both using the charging
stand, and using the adapter directly in the unit.
As for the 120, I can't heartily recommend it. I had a 120 1.3, upgraded it
to 2.0 and later bought another 2.0 when my first was stolen. I have since
gone "up" to a 120 and would never go back. The main problem is the heap.
You are severly limited on heap in a 120. The max you can hope for, with no
packages installed is around 70k. If you want to get email, you are
basically limited to Aloha and AOL. I reset my 120 several times a day
under heavy usage. That said, if you want it chiefly for the built-in
functions, and maybe Pocket Money, it should suffice. As soon as you want
to start adding things, however, you will find yourself limited, especially
if you are backgrading from a 2K series.
