NOKIA 6790 Surge Pro Reviews

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

The Nokia Surge offers a good keyboard and plenty of smartphone power, but it's not as powerful or easy to use as other AT&T smartphones.

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 expected to be found on one: office apps, the ability to send/receive corporate e-mail, Bluetooth, and even flash support. It also offers impressive call quality, we just wish the Surge was a bit more phone friendly.

As a smartphone, the Surge makes less sense than a BlackBerry or iPhone for business users who want email on the go, simply because the handset lacks a standalone email app and needs to connect through the clunky MediaWeb browser.

The Nokia Surge, available from AT&T, offers an advanced smartphone experience at a very accessible price-point. This messaging-oriented slider has 3G, a QWERTY keyboard, and social networking software.

Phone Scoop‘s review Edit

Nokia's Surge for AT&T offers a full QWERTY paired with S60. If you're thinking this is a match made in heaven, think again. It gets most things right, but definitely makes a few concessions.

PC World‘s review Edit

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

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

As an entry-level phone the S60 sporting Nokia Surge is best described as a mini mini N97 with some of the features stripped out. The S60 interface is looking tired, certainly compared to many of the more innovative handsets from Samsung, LG and INQ, although we are pleased that Nokia opted for the more functional S60 over S40 OS.

MobileBurn‘s review Edit

The Nokia 6790 Surge from AT&T is a small smartphone that sports a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and is advertised as the phone for social networking fanatics. While the build materials feel slightly flimsy, the overall device is actually built well, with an awesome slide mechanism that definitely feels as though it could handle some abuse. The full QWERTY keyboard is large and comfortable, with plenty of tactile feedback from each button.

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