The Samsung Alias 2, sporting a full QWERTY keypad after you maneuver and swivel the bad boy open, is rumored to be coming to Verizon Wireless on May 11th. For those of you who don’t specialize in counting, that is a week and one day away!

The Alias 2 will likely cost about $100 bucks after a contract and rebate and here is Verizon’s official “pitch” for the phone:

The new Samsung Alias 2 gives you the convenience of a QWERTY keypad in a unique flip-style format. It has the same dual-hinge design that made original Alias a hit, but Alias 2 adds a touch of magic a Magic Key keypad using e-ink technology. In phone mode, you see a standard phone keypad. In texting mode, however, the keys magically change into a full, four-row QWERTY keypad. But the magic doesnt stop there. The Alias 2 also has a 2.6 QVGA screen for crisper, clearer viewing, a 2.0 megapixel camera, and dedicated hot keys for one-touch access to some of your most used features like Bluetooth, text messaging, voicemail, camera, voice commands, games and alarms.
