Rogers recently launched the Nokia Surge 6790 last week, a unique messaging device that’s part of their Smartphone lineup.

We know that Nokia takes great pride in creating and testing their products. The Nokia Surge 6790 is so far stretched from all the other Nokia devices we’ve seen, it... More

Small smartphone that sports a slide-out QWERTY keyboard

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.

N/A

The Nokia Surge is a messaging phone. The full QWERTY keyboard gives it away as such. As with many lower-cost messaging phones, the Surge makes a few concessions in order to remain affordable.

Unorthodox in design, though the actual specs list is fairly familiar

This is my first phone, so I don't know any different and I have a 3 year contract so I'm stuck with it... I'm not too sure if I bought a lemon, but my phone screws up almost every day. I've done multiple major resets, and nothing seems to get better. I think that there aren't... More

-the talk and end button backlight flash for 30 mins when you have a new notification
-keypad... More
