The Alias also has a dual-hinged mechanism but the QWERTY keyboard is replaced with a dynamic keyboard. How does it work? Well, when you open the phone in portrait clam shell mode, you will have a standard numeric keypad available. When you open it in landscape mode and a QWERTY keyboard comes to life. Other specs incluyde a 2.6-inch QVGA internal display, 2.0 megapixel camera, voice commands, dedicated hot key for one-touch Bluetooth access and various Verizon customizations.

What it does is display what you see on your smart phone or PDA screen right into the sunglass lenses for viewing. This means that you will be able to check out your iPhone, Blackberry or PDA even if you still have it in your bag or pocket. The Maverix HUD (which stands for Heads Up Display, by the way) connects with your device via Bluetooth so you won’t have to bother with wires and such.
