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.

I like the phone. I've had it since October and it's pretty decent. There are quite a few problems with it though:

1. Sometimes the phone will turn off if I close it too soon after sending a message.

2. The music player does not offer background play. So if I'm listening to music and I want to end a text message or something, I have to turn my music off completely just to do that.

3. When looking at pictures in full view, you can't move left and right between the other pictures.

4. I was hoping for a 3.5mm headphone jack. I was very much disappointed.

5. The camera can only record 30 seconds of video, and you can't zoom while recording.

My main issue is the music player, and how it cannot play in the background. I'm listening to music 24/7 and it's a real pain when I have to turn my music off to do something.

Pros

- Sturdy

- Easy to text with

- Decent battery life

- Good call quality

Cons

- Music player does not offer background play

- 2.5mm headphone jack

- Limited video recording length

I dont like this phone that much. Compared to the Env3, this thing is so hard to text on. The keys are slick and slippery. This phone is slow and cant keep up with me texting. A good thing though is that this phone is built really solidly. It cant take a lot of damage. The hinge isnt fragile like you would probably think. Dont buy this just because the keys change. Oooh yay the keys change! How cool! It gets old really fast. I miss my old chocolate2 which i think was a better phone.

Pros

Big screen, not fragile, good call quality.

Cons

Slow, hard to text on.

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

Pros

sleek
good camera
sound
graphics
speed
texting on keys

Cons

switching from landscape to portrait for screen and keys delayed
outside of phone
