The samsung Alias is one of the easiest phones I have ever used. The phone is odd when you first get it though. Certain items can only be opened depending on which way the phone is flipped(get it now is one example). Very nice keyboard for texting. Texting is much easier using the keyboard the the T9 in previous cell phone I owned. If you are going to be texting alot then I would definitly recommend this phone. I ended up switching this phone for the Krave touch screen and about three months after using the Krave I went back to the Alias because it is better for texting. One problem I have had...
