Verizon today announced the availability of the Samsung Alias 2. Like its predecessor, it’s still a dual-hinge messaging phone with EV-DO connectivity, but this time around Samsung used E-Ink keys to solve the usability issues that arise from slapping two labels onto a single key.

The keyboard might look a little underwhelming, but one look at the original Alias keyboard is enough to understand that sometimes, underwhelming is far more desirable than overwhelming.

The Alias 2 is available for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate, with the usual two year contract, from Verizon stores or www.verizonwireless.com.
