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!





small, stylish, full keyboard
supposedly problematic

I've had this phone for two years. I've only replaced it once because I hardly use any of the features, there really aren't that many to begin with. The camera is terrible. The keys are really small, but you get used to them. Texts take longer to send than other phones. The battery is pretty awful, somedays I need to charge it twice. The good thing about this phone is that it's relatively thin and fits in a pocket.


I'm getting an EnV Touch in the next few days. And I cannot wait.

i have had this phone for about 1 year and 4 months 


what can i say it freezes a lot it will turnoff buy it self the inbox doesn't hold more than 50 msg which is really gay...also the keys are small. at first i tough i was going to be OK with it but after a month it got all boring..the reason i didn't get another phone is because there haven't bin any good ones on Verizon. but now i have found one i am planing on trading this for the LG Versa.


also i breaks easily lol My broke just a few days ago and that was my 4 one haha





its small and thin
bad keyboard and a lot of other stuff...

6. I've had this phone for 9 months

I love this phone. its way better then the Motorola RAZR Maxx ve and LG chocolate i had before. the small keboard maybe a little hard for some people but i have small fingers so i really like it. the menu design is the best ive ever seen in a phone. i dont really like how the camera is a 1.3 MP but i live with it. and you cant zoom with the camera on the biggest resolution. and i also dont like how you cant listen to music and do something else at the same time. a full battery lasts me 2-4 days and i only usally charge it when its dead and off. inbox only holds about 70 messages but if you put it on auto erase you never have to worry about messages popping up about your inobx is full or 80% full, etc. the sent box also auto erases. most photos from my RAZR i cant view on my Alias since the RAZR was a 2 MP camera phone. video playback is iffy same with video recording. also sound recordings are only 1 minute long which i dont like. and the last thing is i like how the microSD slot is located on the side of the phone instead of behind the battery door.





menu display, QWERTY keyboard, auto erase messages, has a flash.
small camera 1.3 MP, small resolution pictures, video recording and playback aren't too good.

i got this phone when i was thirteen in november 2007. when i first got it i fell in love with it. i couldn't stop txting, thank god i have unlimited, it has s pretty good design, i have dropped it a few times and it still is an accruate phone. i hear the silver is a lot cooler, but i would reccomend this phone. the camrea is pretty good, the video time is short, only 15 seconds so i dont like that.

8. Best Phone I've owed

I've had this phone for almost 2 years now with no problems.  I've dropped it 100x's with no issues.  The only reason I've had to exchange it was due to water damage on my part.  The replacement phone has been great.  I am do for my upgrade and don't want to change phones.  None of the current phones offer anything close to this.  Full keyboard with a slim non bulky casing!  I use the web acces and it is good for what it is capable of doing...it's no blackberry but it's managable.

10. Verizon Carrier

I've had the phone for a few weeks now and it's really what I've been looking for the whole time. i don't trust non-flip phones because they are prone to pocket calling. I've always been a fan of flip phones. I originally wanted the LG Dare but I hate how easy it is to unlock. There is no "slide to unlock" feature. It's just a push of a button or a tap on the unlock key and for those who keep their phones in pouches or in their pocket, I assure you that it will unlock randomly. I then looked at the EnV2 but all you have to do it click OK twice and its unlocked. I like this phone because it has a full qwerty keyboard for easy and fast texting and a lot of nice features such as voice texting. The camera quality is good and it will not pocket call due to the fact that it is a flip phone. The standard ring tones are a little fruity but who uses them anyway? Just go onto VZW wireless internet and download your favorite song or record something onto the phone and set it as a ring tone. The duel flip is very sturdy. It doesn't seem easy to break at all and I haven't had a problem with it shutting off on me at all. Well built phone with plenty of updated features. Well done Samsung, well done. 





Very sturdy and wont ever pocket call. They need to make a touch screen that has better locking features! The Krave is a good idea but the software is horrible!
uses orange as the desktop color when you change to "My Desktop" display. Not a fan of the color orange and you can't change it unless you change the whole theme but I got used to it.
