Does anyone remember the Samsung Alias 2? It was a dual-hinge flip phone with e-ink keys. When you flipped it open in portrait mode, the keys would display a number pad, and if you opened it in landscape mode the key labels changed to a QWERTY layout.

I had both the Alias and Alias 2. I absolutely loved the Alias because it was so great for texting. The Alias 2 was a cool idea but I felt that the e-ink key refresh was too slow and the keys were mushy.
