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 bought this phone 2 months ago and everything on it is pretty cool. The display on the Front and Main screen are great along with the camera feature although i wish it was a little better than 1.3 MP's. Texting takes around two days to get used to becasue the buttons are tiny. Also, the Voyager and EnV are enemies to this phone but sadly, they won. Again the camera: i hate the fact that it doesent have a Zoom feature and that it only has 1.3 Mp's. With a 2.0 MP Camera, i wouldnt have any problems with this phone. Over all, 8/10.
