Brief Product Review

Pros: The Nokia Surge comprises with a bunch of features - a full HTML browser along with Flash Lite support, 3G enabled, GPS - with reasonable price. The phone provides access to social networking sites also.

Cons: The phone has a number of design oddity and doesn't comprise of the best build quality as the nokia brand has. You can't dial numbers without opening the keyboard.

Nokia 6790 Surge for AT&T is a bit of a complication for the Finnish mobile phone manufacturer. One cannot assume it just by a glimpse of it, but this little master is actually a master piece just like the Nokia E and N series mobile phones. It runs on the Symbian S60 platform and includes Exchange support, a number of productivity tools, 3G and GPS support just like the robust handsets. However, the Surge isn't intended for the same audience of business and power users as the others; instead, it's geared to a young users, offering easy access to social networking sites and a spacious full QWERTY keyboard for easy messaging.

Features: Do not underestimate it with the size; the Nokia Surge is feature-packed and a full-fledged smart phone. Though OS is outdated compared others, but it can still get the job done with Microsoft Exchange synchronization as well as support for personal e-mail accounts. It has also Quick Office suite, PDF reader, and voice recorder. Nokia Surge comes preloaded with an app called JuiceCaster, which allows you to post messages, photos, videos and updates to existing social networking sites.

The camera of the phone is of standard class, including quality and resolution settings, different capture modes, white balance settings, self-timer, and many more. Picture quality, however, isn't that great. On the other hand, recorded video clips look decent with minimal blur.

The Nokia Surge offers AT&T's younger users an affordable, feature-rich smart phone

Specifications: OS provided: Symbian S60 3.2 ; Talk time: 240 min
