Well, we have got more info on the dynamically changing keypad phone which we first caught glimpse in late March this year. The Samsung Alias 2 (U750) will make its way through Verizon on May 11 with a very affordable price tag of $79.99 after a commitment of a 2-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate. Alias 2 with a 1 year contract will cost $149 after a $50 mail-in rebate and $249 if you’re buying it upfront.
Its dynamically changing keypad has been christened as Magic Keypad which is powered by e-ink technology. For those who missed out the initial leak, the keys on the keypad changes according to the orientation. When the phone is flipped in phone mode, a regular alphanumeric keypad is revealed whereas a full QWERTY keypad is shown during text messaging mode.
Other features include a 2.6-inch QVGA display, 2 megapixel camera, V CAST, voicemail and visual voicemail, Bluetooth, GPS, 2.5mm audio jack, microSD card slot supporting up to 16GB of data and maintains almost similar dimensions as the original Alias with 101.85 x 51.82 x 17mm.
