Great even for USB 2.0 for Macs. Just don't do a whole lot of heavy lifting on it.
I have only USB 2.0 port on a Late 2011 MacBook Pro, but I don't need the monitor to do a whole lot of work. I can notice the difference between the DisplayPort and USB 2.0 port, but it still works great for me for just keeping pages open as a reference and such. Even videos play fine from it, just as long as you don't depend on it for an HD experience. Great and necessary product for older laptops!

You get what you pay for. These are just cardstock.
Don't be fooled by the Bicycle backing design. It's cardstock, plain and simple. They don't slide against each other at all, and you can even see the perforation from where it was punched out. You're not fooling anyone into thinking that these are regular cards from your Bicycle deck.
The price is only $1, though, so if you can swing it with your audience and you can come up with an appropriate routine to hide the above facts, you can try.

As good as I remember it!
I've been wanting a QWERTY type phone since I got an Exalt II, and I remembered I lost my old Alias 2 a long time ago, so I decided to switch back. I'll be comparing it to the Exalt II in this review.
The UI (for calendars, settings and customization, etc.) isn't as good as the Exalt II, and the battery life is shorter. I believe this is due to the Exalt II being a much new basic phone than the Alias 2, so that's something to keep in mind. I have to charge the Alias 2 every night, as opposed to every three nights for the Exalt II.
That being said, I LOVE the keyboard! The design is great, and the context keys are wonderful; not as distracting as most other keypads/keyboards on basic phones. Plus, being able to read and quick text messages is a great feature. I've always been a fan of flip phones, so having both T9 and QWERTY capabilities, without the buttons on the outside causing accidental pocket dialing, is awesome!
All in all, great old phone model! They don't make 'em like they used to. I wish Samsung's basic phones kept the e-ink keyboard, but I guess it was too costly to produce. Shame, it's so good!
