Samsung Zeal Hits Verizon For $79, A Bit Too Expensive

Yes, today's the day where Verizon takes a dip in e-ink. They've just released the Samsung Zeal, which is just a black Alias 2. This is up on Verizon right now for $79.99 on a 2-year contract and $249.99 contract-free. It features a 1.3-inch external display, a 2.6-inch QVGA internal display, a 2MP camera, a microSD card slot, and Bluetooth support.

Samsung Zeal Now Official, Hitting Verizon On Nov. 11th For $79; Just a Black Alias 2

Verizon has just made their latest handset official and it's the Samsung Zeal which actually hit the website a bit prematurely this morning (here). Like I said, since then they've made it official and it'll be launching on Thursday, November 11th for $79.99 on a 2-year contract. The bad news about this handset is it's just a black Samsung Alias 2 - that's what Engadget says. If you're interested in the e-ink action then your wait is only two days.
