Otherwise, it may be identical. Same model number even!

Hoping that this phone will not break, drop calls, etc.

For someone who only wants to talk and text, you couldn’t ask for anything better. But I’m ready for an upgrade so I’ve been waiting, and waiting, and WAITING for the Alias 3 (Zeal) to come out. I imagined all kinds of improvements; a larger phone, a 3.5mm headphone jack, FLAC audio file support, a 3MP or 4MP camera, etc etc.

What a friggin’ DISAPPOINTMENT this is!!! It’s nothing more than a BS relaunch of the Alias 2! Does anyone care to tell me what the point of this is?!?! Why release a clone of a 1.5 year old phone with no technological improvements?? Samsung just lost a lot of my respect.

When it’s officially time for a new phone in January, this lazy, half-assed re-release of outdated technology will NOT be on my list. Samsung really could have made significant improvements with very little thought or effort. But instead they just wiped their butts with an Alias 2 and called it the “Zeal”. Boo, Samsung. BOOOOO!!!
