Samsung Alias 2


There are all sorts of mobile phones out there, from simple ones to  real smart phones. But between these two you can find many more;  including the ones with the weirdest design, intuitive controls and the  ones that are designed din order to meet multiple needs. Such a cell  phone is Samsung Alias 2. It brings an innovative keypad with other satisfying features such as music, call performance and video as well.

You will, however, need some time to get used to the controls of  the phone and because the phone lacks Wi-Fi and OPO3 e-mail, you will  have some troubles connecting and using the internet when you want to.  Because with every phone you get used to, you learn how to use it and  start loving it, so is the case of Samsung Alias 2, turning out to be a powerful messaging device.



You can also find Samsung Alias simple, but the second edition  brings, besides the keyboard, a 2 megapixels camera and RemoteSync for  corporate e-mail syncing. So prepare to give it some time until you  learn how to use it and discover all its good points. Once you get pass  that, you will definitely like it. You can get this phone with service  at around $80 and for other e-mail services you will pay extra. If you  take a look at Samsung Alias 2 from the outside, you will not say  it brings much; it features straight lines and clear angles, measuring a  tad more than other flip phones, 4.01 inches by 2.04 inches by 0.67  inch. But because it is bigger and it weights more, you feel it more  solid in your hands.

The external display has 1.3”, supports 65.000  colors and has a pixel resolution of 128x128. It shows all the basic  information such as time and date, signal strength, battery status and  photo caller ID. There are several customizations you can manage  regarding display contrast, clock style, wallpaper, except the  backlighting time. Just below the display you will see the controls for  the music player, so you can manage your playlists and listening to  music without having to go through the phone’s menu.  On the outside you  will also find the volume rocker and the voice dialing button on the  left side of the phone. The proprietary charger jack and the 2.5mm  headset jack are also present.



And now for the main display, measuring 2.6”, supporting 262.00  colors and having a pixel resolution of 320x240, all graphics and text  look sharp and bright. You can choose from various menu themes and you  can choose to alter some of the settings.  The keyboard is of course,  the main attraction, with no regular navigation buttons and keypad  buttons; you get instead square and rectangular tiles. In fact, these  are buttons, but their uses depend on the side of the phone you open the  keyboard. Different arrangements are available, it sounds complicated  at first, but you need to try them in real life so you can see for  yourself.



The keyboard is actually called e-ink and its functionality depends  on the position, such as horizontal way or vertical way, in which you  slide the phone. The keys are comfortable and they do provide a nice  tactile feedback.
