The next-generation Samsung Alias 2 for Verizon Wireless retains the
original's uniquely innovative dual-flip form factor with full QWERTY keyboard,
but now the keyboard utilizes E Ink technology--the same found in today's most
popular e-book readers. With the E Ink-powered keyboard, the keys can transform
from vertical to horizontal depending on your orientation as well as switch from
numeric keypad to full keyboard depending on the application in use. Other
upgrades include a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder and Bluetooth stereo music
streaming.
It's compatible with Verizon's V Cast Music Service, which enables you to
purchase songs through your phone and download them via Verizon's fast EV-DO
data network. You'll also stay on course thanks to the VZ Navigator GPS
turn-by-turn direction service. Other features include MicroSD memory expansion
(up to 16 GB), RemoSync capabilities for corporate email and calendar
synchronization, Visual Voicemail, access to personal email and instant
messaging, personal organizer tools.
Verizon Wireless Service
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to
the Internet and Verizon Wireless multimedia services (additional charges
applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak
rates up to 2 Mbps. The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs
instantly to your phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the
files to your phone. If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of
the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your
phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your
account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast
Music offers nearly 2 million songs, with more being added all the time.
In addition to the V Cast Music service, this phone is also compatible with
the Verizon Wireless V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which enables you to access
this exclusive digital music service for RealNetworks and for MTV Networks. V
CAST Music with Rhapsody delivers unlimited monthly access to music on up to
three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs
and Web browsers. In addition, customers who purchase music over-the-air are
able to download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of
digital rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can
be played.
With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access the Verizon Wireless VZ
Navigator service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted
turn-by-turn directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million
points of interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and
detailed color maps. And the Chaperone service lets you easily locate your loved
ones from your Verizon Wireless phone or PC in real time. After defining a zone,
such as an area designating a school or summer camp, you'll be sent an alert via
text message when the Chaperone handset enters or leaves the zone.
Getting on the Internet is easy using the Verizon Wireless Mobile Web 2.0
package, which allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages
and view your favorite web content on your phone. The Verizon Wireless Media
Center wireless download service is also fully compatible with this phone. This
pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity
tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the
Media Center service.
With Visual Voice Mail, you can delete, reply and forward voice mail messages
without having to listen to prior messages or voice instructions. Visual Voice
Mail is the ideal tool for the busy mobile professional who may need to
prioritize which messages he or she listens to first. Features include on-screen
access to voice mail message status, save up to 40 messages for 40 days (or
archive permanently), create up to 10 different caller ID-based greetings, and
reply via call back, text or even voice mail.
Verizon's Wireless Sync always-on email service (subscription required), you
can stay connected and get the job done while away from the office--without a
delay and in a secure environment. Email is delivered to your device in real
time across the National Enhanced Services Rate & Coverage Area, and you get the
ability to forward large attachments via email as well as access both your
personal and corporate emails on one device. Wireless Sync offers strong
security with AES encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology so that
unauthorized parties cannot access or alter application data transmitted over
wireless networks.
Phone Features
The Samsung Alias 2 has the same dualâ€"hinge design of the original Alias, but
the Alias 2 adds a touch of magic--a Magic Key keypad using E Ink technology
that can transform the keys depending on your current usage. For example, in
phone mode you'll see a standard alpha-numeric keypad, but when you switch to
texting mode the keys will automatically change into a full, four-row QWERTY
keyboard. The E Ink technology is the same type of technology used in today's
most popular electronic book readers. In addition to its continuous
transformation based on your usage, E Ink delivers a paper-like contrast ratio
and a low power consumption.
The phone has an internal 2.6-inch LCD screen with a 240 x 320-pixel
resolution and support for up to 262K colors, and it's complemented by an
external 1.3-inch screen (128 x 128 pixels, 65K colors) that displays current
time (with Samsung's distinctive new digital clock) as well as incoming calls.
The front of the clamshell face also includes music playback controls. The phone
has a user-accessible internal memory of approximately 100 MB that can be
expanded via optional MicroSD memory cards (up to 16 GB in size). The internal
phonebook can store up to 1000 contacts with each entry able to store up to five
phone numbers, two email addresses, a street address and notes as well as the
ability to pair a contact with a photo ID. The phone also displays the last 90
incoming/outgoing/missed calls, provides one-/two-/three-touch dialing, and
offers a bilingual interface (English and Spanish).
Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This
phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 2.0), and includes
profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and file transfer. With
the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible
Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth
or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and
access files from a server (additional charges or subscription applicable).
The 2-megapixel camera offers multiple resolution options (1600x1200,
1280x960, 640x480, 320x240, 160x120 pixels) as well as up to a 10x digital zoom
(depending on the resolution adjustment). Other features include your choice of
three quality settings, white balance and brightness controls, multi-shot mode
(Series, Divided, Panorama), shutter sound selection, and multiple color
effects. It can also capture video clips, capped at 30 seconds for sending via
messaging for running for as long as you have available memory. The phone also
includes a dedicated camera/video key for quick shots while on the go.
The Alias 2 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging, too, with
support for sending and receiving text, picture, and video messages as well as
mobile instant messaging (IM). There's also a complete e-mail client on the
device for POP- and IMAP-based accounts. And of course, the QWERTY keyboard
makes it a snap to type your messages.
This phone also offers compatibility with the RemoSync service--a corporate
email contacts and calendar solution that provides secure and easy access to
your company's Microsoft Exchange Server, with enterprise-class security and IT
remote administration features. You'll be able to read, compose and send email,
