The Official Samsung Alias2 SCH-U750 Pre-release Thread

[ohnoezDx]

Actually in the 2nd pics the front doesn't look that bad, but I'm still wanting a touch screen so voyager 2 it is for me. xD

[Kopeke]

Thank you for the pics. I wonder if Samsung will try to fit as much of the txt message as possible on the front outside by using a tiny font or if Samsung will use a reasonably-sized font which would mean that you'd have to scroll down to read the remainder of the message.

I just noticed this. When the phone is closed, there is an outside button to turn the phone on/off

10. On/Off button: Allows you to turn handset on and off

reasonably-sized font. you will need to scroll. you can also reply via the front buttons with a quick msg.

check out the earlier posts. there was concern that the phone could be powered off accidentally but the power button only works when the flip is open.

i was wondering if you coud change the way the menu is from the classroom loking thing to something else if possible

I am really starting to like how Samsung does their menus and UI. They definitely have the nicest phones.

Still no release date or guesses? Who remembers how far away from the CTIA in 2008 that Verizon came out with the first Alias?

Wouldn't it come with Verizons UI?

[Bwangster12]

They always do a slight twist on what I'd looks like though.

Most likely, yes, but the Verizon UI seems to be including more and more phone-specific themes.

You mean the "Microsoft BOB " look--circa 1995?

[Chubby772]

I'm really surprised at how much I'm liking this phone...

[dZW]

is there a release date yet or time frame? as in Q2 or something

[Greg2230]

That would be awesome to know. I have been waiting foooorever to upgrade and am debating on getting something in the meantime. I know that if I do the phone will come out the very next week.
