I just got a used alias and had a problem with it shutting off by itself. Searched for a couple hours online and came across this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcdavDGs3Ig It has been a few hours and my phone has not turned off yet! Mine used to shut off whenever i bumped it, or closed one of the lids. Hope this helps!

Pros

small, stylish, full keyboard

Cons

supposedly problematic
