Verizon has just given the Samsung u740 a new alias: the Alias. It’s the same clamshell phone with QWERTY keyboard sans the black and gold finish. However, the keyboard has been updated leaving its other features such as dual color displays, music player, memory card slot, Bluetooth connectivity, camera, voice dialing, and the EVDO hi-speed data as is. 

Verizon is hoping that the new name will attract more consumers. But didn’t they announce this already, and how come the $129.99 Alias is still yet to be officially available until the middle of April?
