PhoneArena reviews the Samsung Alias 2 U750 for Verizon Wireless. The new Alias sports similar...
I have to admit that I just came from reading Vlad Savov's article on How Samsung Broke My Heart . To be honest, in ordinary circumstances, I would have read the editorial and moved on to the next one. However, since Samsung's recent unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S III , I have not seen such disappointment and angst since (I'll just say it) the launch of the iPhone 4S. So, upon reading Mr. Savov's article, I thought I would respond in a sort of "counter-point" perspective, because I don't believe that what Samsung showed us yesterday is as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
First, let me also give a brief history of my experience with Samsung. The first Samsung product I ever owned was the Samsung Alias (SCH-U740). This flip phone hearkens back to the days of when the Motorola RAZR defined the popular mobile form-factor. It was a sleek and attractive design with a cool, dual-flip hinge, allowing you to view the display in either portrait or landscape mode. It had a full QWERTY keyboard and satisfied all of my text-messaging needs. No blown speakers here, or wobbly hinges begging for the device to be thrown into the waste bin. Since then, I have owned one of Samsung's great HDTVs and, in the mobile space, returned to them with a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and my daily driver, the Galaxy Nexus LTE. Each of those purchases were made with the cognizance that the Samsung name brought quality, innovation and leading-edge specifications.
