Its external features were a postage stamp sized front display, touch sensitive music control buttons and a 2.0-megapixel camera. On the right side there was the power button, a "hold" button, and a microSD card slot. On the left, there was a Voice Activation button, an up/down volume rocker button, a headphone jack, and proprietary charger/data transfer port. Opened in portrait or call mode, a standard numerical dialing pad along with two soft keys, send and end keys, a camera button, a voice command button, and four-directional buttons with an OK key in the center were all available. When in portrait, a user could input text using

Windows Live Messenger, and Yahoo Messenger
. The U750 was compatible with all Verizon services, such as VCAST. It was also equipped with voice recognition, text message dictation, and two flash-based display themes, as well as the standard red Verizon Wireless themes.

After the Alias 2, the Samsung Zeal took over. The complete phone is unchanged from Alias 2 to the Zeal, except for the shape of the camera, which changed from a square to an oval and the color is changed to black.

The phone was discontinued in October 2010.

The Samsung Alias 2 was the successor of the original Samsung SCH-U740, which did not feature the unique "magic" e-ink display. The keys were cramped up with all the functions of the e-ink display, which disappointed many users. The phone was available in the United States in March 2007 and in Canada in August 2007. It had 176 x 220

megapixel camera.[3][4][5]
