Samsung SCH U750 Alias 2 (Verizon Wireless)

Well don't walk run to get this phone. This phone is 5 stars. I actually upgraded with Verizon when the phone was 29.99 after the 50 dollar rebate. The keypad of course is awsome but the call quality is excellent as well as listening to music. I can not say one bad thing about this phone. Read all the reviews on this phone and it has great reviews. Great Phone!

Pros: This phone has a dual hinge which allows for the phone to open and close in two different manners. It opens the generic way a normal phone does (vertical) as well as horizontally. Vertical is for phone calls and normal use, horizontal is for texting.

The phone can take photos in vertical or horizontal styles which is nice if you want a normal picture or a wide screen picture.

I only use my cell phone to talk for about 20-30 minutes a day but average roughly 150 texts between receiving and sending and the battery life lasts about 3 days for me.

Keyboard buttons are big enough so that you do not hit multiple buttons when texting.

Sound quality is above average when playing music. I bought a converter so i can plug in normal headphones and listen to music and the music play doesn't seem to affect battery life much at all, and the sound quality is great.

The phone offers an email service for something like $2.99 a month which is nice if you want email capabilities without the big data plan service for blackberry's and other smart phones.

The phone syncs a 4 minute song in about 10 seconds when transferring music from your computer to your phone.

They have added rubber bumpers on the edge of the phone so when you close the screen it does not leave marks on the screen from the screen hitting the buttons. (The alias 1 did this)

There are a couple cool features you can use after taking pictures. Such as emboss, gray scale, black and white, and 3-4 other ones. You can also change the contrast, saturation, hue, merge photos, and lighting in photos. (Most new verizon phones with newer interfaces have these features.)

If you are listening to music and you receive a text, phone call, or anything else that forces you to leave the music player, once you are done with your call or text, the music starts back up from where it left off.

My girlfriend and I both agreed my 2 megapixel camera on my alias 2 took better and more crisp photos than her blackberry curve.

I tried multiple micro SD cards I had lying around the house (a-data, kingston, corsair, a no name brand, and san disk) and the alias 2 recognized all of them.

When recording video and taking photos i find neither to really suck up battery life. (The biggest threat to battery life is phone calls on this phone)

Battery life is a bit above average I would say.

The e-ink is an incredibly cool feature. You are able to change the buttons with a click of a button through use of ink and electricity ... awesome!

Cons

Some batteries have been found to be faulty.
(people who are having trouble with poor battery life, 1 day or less should look into returning the battery as there is a rumor of defective batteries going around in these phones)

If you open the screen really fast, it takes a second for the screen to turn on.

When using the music player to play music, if you click options while listening to music, your music pauses until you leave the options menu.

Phone doesn't come with the usb cable.

The interface can be slightly slow at times but is completely tolerable for me at least.

Overall this phone is a great upgrade from the alias 1. Many of these features listed above may be available on newer Verizon phones but between the dual hinge and the price of the phone I payed which was $29.99 when I was due for my 2 year contract upgrade I don't think you can beat the features this phone comes with.

its a great n lovely phone, too bad it's in CDMA format only =( it can only be used in USA but not other country, i had wasted $30 bucks for the phone...

The qwery keys are the best for texting...awesome.... comfortable size,,,not bulky. Good camera for a phone. battery life could be better....but can purchase long life battery.

After going through 9 Chocolate 3's I decided to go for a new phone. I did some research and decided on the Alias2.

This phone has an amazing set-up. One-of-a-kind! Huge beautiful inner display. Beautiful camera. Texting is a breeze. Very loud speaker/earpiece.

Using the phone is already MUCH easier after using for a day.


Little hard to open sometimes, but that is no deal-breaker for me. Should be easier to open after I receive a snap on case I have ordered.

Overall I am so far 100% content with this phone. Maybe the best I have ever owned!

Tickeled to death with the alias 2 . Would highly recommend it to anyone. I wish it had a flash on the camera but has so many other nice features , I still love it.

stupid bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great phone. Easy to text. Love the way the keys change depending on if I am calling or texting. Neet technology. I love this thing!!

The Alias 2 ROCKS!!! My last phone was Windows based and I thought I'd never like a non-Windows phone, I was wrong, the Samsung SCH U750 Alias 2 is a great phone.

5 star!

this phone and seller is sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the fact that texting is easy to do with the phone.

the weight of the phone, can cause arm fatigue, if you are a talker...a headset fixes that problem.

I love this phone, its way better than the first one at least you can type fast on the keypad. excellent phone. Love it to pieces lol.

The Samsung Alias 2 Rules all phones. It's a flip and a flip open (QWERTY keyboard) phone that has keys that switch depending on what you're doing with the phone. The only downside to the Alias is that the phone is on the worlds WORST network; Verizon Wireless. I say this because Verizon has had a SUPER negative history (look at my3cents.com) because they have cheated and lied many times in the past. But don't let that get in the way; just beware of the company.

I recommend when you look for Aliases on ebay, look for Aliases with no contract and that are between $60-90. Try to avoid excessive shipping charges; some sellers try to jack seven or ten bucks from you to ship it in a giant First-Class mail box. Look for low shipping costs or free shipping.

You HAVE to get your hands on this phone. You'll be glad you did!

I had the first generation of this phone. And loved it. So when I decided to upgrade I had to go with the second gen. and I am so glad I did. Best phone out there.

i seen the u740 alais on the display screen and its heading said it was the alais u750 so i went by the item that was shown instead of the heading. so that purchase was a mistake.

The phone is one of the nicest phone I have ever used!! it's great to text and very easy to use.... I had read lots of reviews on this phone before I bought it and it has truely kept up to the good reviews I've read and more. I would recommend this phone to anyone.

I was skeptical when I was buying this phone as to whether or not I would like it. That being said, I am pleasantly surprised. The phone has great functionality and is designed very well. If you looking for a smaller phone with a nice qwerty keypad then this is the phone for you!

item brand new just as described. i liked everything about it it was good, worked fine and i look forward to doing business again

the phone was in excellent condition and came with a protective case as well as a home charger and all the information. the transaction was smooth. i love the phone and am glad i purchased it. it is as good as new at a lesser price.

I have enjoyed the phone very much and I'm very happy with how soon it arrived. The qualitly of the phone was just as described and I have no complaints.

BIG SCREEN REALLY NEAT KEYBOARD CAMERA DECENT SOUND IS VERY GOOD KEYS ARE A LITTLE SMALL BUT YOU GET USED TO IT OVERALL I GIIVE IT AN A-

I love the phone it was as good as I expected it to be. However I paid the 234.00 total for it and two days later bought one for my niece on ebay and got it for 132.50 total. So the price I keep kicking myself for paying so much for the first one.
