As expected, Verizon has launched the successor to the venerable Samsung Alias in the Samsung Alias 2.
The phone features an e-ink based keypad, which allows for instantaneous transitions between the standard 12 key dialing pad and a horizontal QWERTY keyboard depending on the orientation of the dual-hinge display.
The rest of the featureset includes a 2.6 inch QVGA resolution display, 2.0 megapixel camera with video recorder and night shot support, full VCAST Music/Video support with external touch sensitive controls, Visual Vocemail support, full messaging support, microSDHC expansion slot, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, GPS support, and speakerphone.
Pricing is set at $249.99 Month-to-Month, $199.99 after new 1 year agreement, or $129.99 after new 2 year agreement before an additional $50 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $149.99 and $79.99 respectively.

There is a new software version that is suppose to work with the Ford Sync but I cannot get
Samsung or Verizon to get me that software. I will be returning this phone.
Samsung, Verizon and Ford need to get their act together. Why advertise a feature that is not
supported. In addition, Verizon needs to make sure that their sales reps know exactly what
features are supported and what is not. Being lied to by several different reps before getting
this phone is very annoying. The main feature I wanted is NOT supported. But all the reps I
talked to before getting this phone said it was supported. I would recommend that before anyone
gets this phone, they find someone who has it to make sure all the features they want are
supported. Sales reps and some tech support people at both Verizon and Samsung do not know what
is supported. And Just an FYI, my wife has an ENV2 and it works just fine with the Sync.
