May 11 is the day when Verizon Wireless will launch a new Samsung phone, the SCH-U750 or the Alias 2. Or so do people say thus far. The phone is similar in design to its predecessor, the U740. The Alias also has a dual-hinged mechanism but the QWERTY keyboard is replaced with a dynamic keyboard. How does it work? Well, when you open the phone in portrait clam shell mode, you will have a standard numeric keypad available. When you open it in landscape mode and a QWERTY keyboard comes to life. Other specs incluyde a 2.6-inch QVGA internal display, 2.0 megapixel camera, voice commands, dedicated hot key for one-touch Bluetooth access and various Verizon customizations.

The Alias 2 doesn’t have a price just yet but we expect it to cost anywhere from $200 to $250 before rebates. Of course, you will be paying a lot less since you’re going to get it with a new 2-year contract.
