Nokia Surge 6790 Review

 

Sadly, for many, it's ergonomic awkwardness will easily overwhelm the Surge's many other multimedia positives.

Nokia Surge (AT&T) Phone Review

 

Very slim and lightweight ; Excellent call quality

No separate numeric keypad ; Poor tactile feedback from shortcut keys

The Nokia Surge is surprisingly feature-packed for its price, but the design has more than a few flaws.

Nokia Surge 6790 (AT&T) review

 

The Nokia 6790 Surge for AT&T is a bit of a departure for the Finnish handset manufacturer. You wouldn't know it just by looking at it, but the little guy is actually a smartphone like the Nokia N and E series devices. It runs on the Symbian S60...

The Nokia Surge packs in a lot of features--a full HTML browser with Flash Lite support, 3G support, GPS--for an affordable price. The smartphone also provides access to social networking sites.

The phone has a number of design quirks and doesn't have the best build quality. You can't dial numbers without opening the keyboard.

The Nokia Surge offers AT&T's younger customers an affordable, feature-rich smartphone, but it has a number of design and interface issues.

Nokia Surge (AT&T)

 

The Nokia Surge offers texting fiends an inexpensive way to get a real smartphone, but it sits uncomfortably between texting devices and smartphones.

Great reception. Good music and video playback. Built-in document editing and Exchange support. Powerful Web browser.

Awful camera. Difficult-to-use keyboard. Have to open the handset sideways to dial numbers. Requires expensive smartphone data plan.

Nokia 6790 Surge Review

 

Rarely we come across a decent Nokia device sneaking its way onto AT&T's lineup that turns heads. For the longest of times, they've been offering basic flip handsets that really doesn't do justice to the world's number one phone maker. Fortunately...

At first glance with it's slide-out keyboard and black plastic casing, you might think the Nokia Surge is intended to be a high-end messaging phone and perhaps that was the case. However, this Nokia is a smartphone and includes all the features...

Nokia 6790 Surge

 

The prolific cell phone manufacturer Nokia produces such a high volume of models that surely one will fit your needs. The Nokia 6790 Surge, however, while a competent phone, may not be the best choice. The reason I say it may not be your best choice is...

Review Of The Nokia Surge 6790 AT&T Cell Phone

 

Nokia is the company which has a longer past record in the Cell phone industries. They are widely accepted in the interior parts of the world and have a good market in Asia but still they are not the outperformer in US. They introduce newer models and...

The Nokia Surge is offered to the people with lots of packages of latest features and also with the HTML browser and also the 3G support. The GPS connectivity could be the decisive feature of the device. It's one of the cheapest smart phones one could...

Nokia is never preferred as the technically solid company and that ahs proved again in this phone, as there are lower performance complains in the phone and also the drawback of opening the Key board all the time makes o sense at all

:It's a good smart phone with lots of supports of features and latest equipments but still has lacked the simpler features and also the inferior design issue.
