The Nokia 6790 Surge from AT&T, with its slide-out QWERTY keyboard and clicky buttons, isn’t an especially impressive piece of hardware, though it’s not really all that bad, either. Another important aspect of any smartphone is the software inside. To finish up our review of this smartphone from AT&T, we’re going to take a look [...]
I’ve had the Nokia 6790 Surge from AT&T for quite a while now, and have unboxed it for you, thrown out some rough first impressions, and even gone over things I love and things I hate about the phone. I also discovered that it is, in fact, quite anti-social, annoyingly. However, the biggest factor to [...]
When the Nokia 6790 Surge for AT&T was announced, the tagline is that AT&T and Nokia are riding ‘a social wave into summer’ with the Surge, and there was chatter about the access to various social networks built into the device. Intrigued by this, I dug a bit deeper, only to find out that the [...]

Typically, the major blogs, such as Gizmodo, Engadget, and the like, are known for bashing on Nokia pretty soundly.
