Updated: re-wrote post when Verizon made official announcement.

Verizon Wireless today announced the Samsung Zeal, a follow-up device to the Alias 2. Similar to the Alias 2, the Zeal has a dual-hinge design that allows it to open as both a normal clamshell phone and a sideways clamshell phone. The Zeal makes use of an E ink keyboard that changes depending on which way the phone is opened. It offers a standard dial pad when opened vertically, and a QWERTY keyboard when opened sideways. Other features of the Zeal include a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, social networking applications, Microsoft Exchange support, GPS, and support for microSD cards up to 32GB. The Zeal will be available November 11 for $80 after a mail-in rebate.
