The new Samsung Alias 2 gives you the convenience of a QWERTY keypad in a unique flip-style format. It has the same dual-hinge design that made the original Alias a hit, but Alias 2 adds a touch of magic - a Magic Key keypad using e-ink technology. In phone mode, it’s a standard phone keypad. But in texting mode, the keys change…
into a full QWERTY keypad. But the magic doesn’t stop there. The Alias 2 also has a large 2.6” QVGA display for crisper, clearer viewing, a 2.0 megapixel camera and dedicated hot keys for one-touch access to the features you use most. Who says sequels are never better than the originals?
