Hi JenJen,

Can you compare the thickness of the ENV2 and the Alias2 when they are both closed? The ENV2 was a bit bulky and the Alias was nice and thin when I had it. It looks like the Alias2 fattened up a little...i hope not too much.

Hi Matt,
When you're using the screen as a viewfinder, it does take up the entire screen, but pictures do not. Typical for Verizon's camera phones, it shows the picture in the middle of the screen and the file name and picture count at the top.

Thank you

One thing I noticed that I'm disappointed about is that when a new text/picture message arrives, it doesn't say who the sender is on the outer screen.

This reply wasn't directed at me. But I was wondering... I have a question which is a follow-up to a post made by wooshi on page 04 of this thread; he spoke as someone having first-hand knowledge of this product during some stage of its development. He was saying that another feature of this phone will be that text messages can be read on the outside using a reasonably-sized font; "you will need to scroll". He also said, "you can also reply via the front buttons with a quick msg."

Again, when time permits, would you have the opportunity to see if this phone still has this feature ?

hey Matt, on my Flipshot i could scroll through a message with the volume rocker. and for the quick message, maybe you use the media controls? just a guess. thats pretty interesting tho.

JenJen: you're awesome thanks for the replies! I keep thinking of questions so please forgive me. When youre on the phone (like actually on a physical phone call) does it show the time on the screen. Soooo many VZW phones don't do this and it drive me nuts.
