Description:

Samsung Alias 2 comes as a replacement of Samsung Alias. The new device has a similar dual-hinge design, but there have been some changes. Most noticeably the keypad has dynamic-keys (such as E-Ink) that shows numbers if the phone is flipped open in portrait mode, or QWERTY letters if opened in landscape mode.

awesome

 this is a good pick for a phone. though people say the battery life is low, big deal; just charge it while you are sleeping at night.
the buttons make texting simple though it sometimes delays switching which keys show.
all my friends have been amazed a how the keys switch.
the text is quite easy to read and the camera is acceptable.
Also when on the phone, hearing the other end is very easy.
i find the outside of the phone a little useless though.

overall, a great phone





sleek
good camera
sound
graphics
speed
texting on keys
switching from landscape to portrait for screen and keys delayed
outside of phone

Worst phone I've ever had with VZW

1 Nov 2009 Glen Goodman

4.3 out of 10

I HATE HATE HATE this phone! I haven't had any problems with battery life, but I have had plenty of other issues...


Going through pictures and phone restarts, also restarts at other random times


Switching from portrait to landscape, phone stays in previous designation


While typing, skips keystrokes (almost every other sometimes!


When missed call & VM, if “View missed call” selected, phone calls VM b/c VM call option then comes up


Slow response time in general


Doesn’t read all pics on card, and puts them in total random order


I've had the phone replaced once since June for these issues, and VZW said they could replace it again with the same device since I'm still having the same issues. I feel like I got royally screwed, because the VZW sales agent at the store talked me into this phone, and said it has no issues at all. I'm still trying to see what I can do to get them to fess up to their BS mistake and give me a better device of equal value, or let me pay the promotional difference for a different phone





The idea behind the phone is fantastic. I text A LOT, and the battery usually lasts at least 2 or 3 days
functionality. basically everything OTHER THAN battery life

After suffering with the Glyde, finally some relief!!!

I just got 2 of these last week in order to replace the Samsung POS Glydes we did have. I gave up on the touchscreen thing not wanting to take the chance and suffer like we did with the Glydes. We chose the Alias 2 (having to pay extra for uprgading early) but was so worth it. I don't have to worry about dealing with a lousy touchscreen. This phone does all I need and I love it.





looks and sounds great, awesome keyboard, not a touchscreen
none to speak of at this time! - just need to find an attachable cover somewhere!
