1. awesome

90%9out of 10
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 keysswitching from landscape to portrait for screen and keys delayed
outside of phone

2. Worst phone I've ever had with VZW
1 Nov 2009 by Glen Goodman
43.3%4.3out 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 daysfunctionality. basically everything OTHER THAN battery life

3. 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 touchscreennone to speak of at this time! - just need to find an attachable cover somewhere!

4. Best phone i've had

This phone is so great. Its so customizable and it does everything i want it to and then some. The qwerty board takes a while to get used to but once you do you'll be glad you have it. i've always had normal flip phones or slider but this is so much better. its a little hard to open especially one handed and its very slick and slippery. Samsung did a great job with this one.
Size, touch controls on front, changing keyboard, great camera, the screen, build qualitySlippery, 2.5mm headset jack, hard to open

I'm on my third one,first one,keys were broken,second one,didn't hold a charge,no service what so ever,and froze up.third one,increddible, I really see how this phone works and what it can do,Size is a little big,and grip isn't the best, but i can live with it.enjoying texting with it, Eink, does smear!. is that good?, Looks like I may have to go back to verizon soon to get my fourth, or and env phone.No damage when dropped,which for me is a good thing.
It's a pretty good phone,but impossible to find a case any ideas?
good for real texters,no damage when dropped,great picture image,and easy openbattery life, smearing keys,little too big and bulky,freazes much.

6. Cool features, sucktastic battery and call quality

I've had the Alias 2 for about two months now. When I first got it, I was very impressed by the E-ink keys and other "bells and whistles" on this phone. Battery life was great - I could go 3-4 days before recharging. Call quality was very bad, compared to my old LG VX-6000, but I figured I could live with that as I wasn't really expecting it to live up to the mighty LG. I might also mention that the reception is greatly reduced compared to the LG, as well.
Fast forward to last week: I noticed that I was having to plug my Alias 2 into the charger more often than before, about once every day and a half. Left Bluetooth on accidentally? Make that every day.
And this morning: I charged this phone fully as of yesterday morning, and now it's almost completely out of juice. I might expect something like that out of a misused Ni-MH battery (battery memory and all that), but the Alias 2 uses a Li-ION battery which is supposed to be immune to that. Uhfwee? I think I'm going to see if I can swap this phone for something from LG that can actually handle apps and hold a charge. Wish me luck, since I'm about a month past Verizon's return window.
E-ink keyboard and dual-mode flip are great.
Texting is swift and easy w/ the full QWERTY keyboard.
Screen is sharp and bright.
Love being able to take video.
Tons of neat features.Call quality is terrible.
Reception is very weak - you'll do the "searching for service" dance.
Battery life sucks like a box of straws.
Very limited apps capability.
Tough to open phone w/ one hand.

7. Alias 2 battery life

Totally love this phone, but have returned it once in the first month due to the battery lasting only about 12 hours and I do not use this phone that much. The replacement phone has the same problem. Took it to Verizon techs who couldn't figure out the problem. I have to keep it plugged into a charger whenever I am not using it or it will die. I find that really irritating
e-ink
qwerty AND standard flip easily convert
great volume when using handsfree in landscape
screen nice and big1. BATTERY LIFE SUCKS
2. the car charger cord is too short
3. having to constantly have it plugged in to car charger and then not having the cord long enough to be able to use the phone
4. verizon tech support inability to resolve problem

9. Update to June 26th review

My Alias 2 will be going back to Verzion tomorrow. As I stated in my prior review, I got the phone on it's release date, upgrading from a Samsung Glyde. It is now July 17th and my camera no longer works. It will take a minute to load up, and a minute to save the picture only to tell me there is a "Camera DSP Error" and the picture will not save. It's also taking a full minute to load my pictures, only to find I can only view the ones saved to the phone as opposed to the ones on my memory card. I hope this bug is fixed in a new model because, although this is a phone and not a camera, I would like what I paid for. Oh, and I've restarted the phone everytime this happened. Before, when the problem was just occuring, it would fix it for quite sometime, but now resetting the phone fixes it for mere minutes. This is my favorite phone and I'm pretty disappointed.
