Samsung's SCH-U740 has an Alias
The Samsung Alias with its black and white keys
(Credit: Samsung)Samsung used CTIA to officially introduce the Samsung Alias, the upgrade to Verizon's Samsung SCH-U740. Though we're known about the phone since the beginning of this month, this is the first chance to see how it compares with its predecessor. From what we learned, the differences are minor. The Alias just has a silver color scheme and a few of the alphabetic keys on the full keyboard now are black and white to make them more identifiable as dialing buttons. So really, that's about it. You can get the Alias with Verizon Wireless for $49 with service.

- I had the alias and i liked it for about two months! By the end of two months, it was getting slow, and the screen was sooooooo wobbly i though it would break in half! it also gets confusing with the tiny buttons and the colors. Over all i give it a 6 out of 10. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE IF YOU HAVE BIG THUMBS!
