Nokia 6790 Surge - User Reviews

  • The phone is good

  • the mobile phone has nice features.. It is worth a try though

  • Don't buy this phone. The charging socket wears out for nothing. Also the power cords. That's the only two problems but there major. Can't use a phone if it can't charge.

  • I have had no problems with this phone. Takes good pics even in low lighting. The 2 things I didnt like was the thickness of the phone and the lack of choice of games to down load. but other then that, it's one of the best phones i've owned.

  • i support you i have read about this on web, no one is given good feedback for this product. don't buy this.

  • nice mobile phone

  • i suggest evryone....not to go for this one!!!!!! its just worse than useless

  • is it have anroid specility?

  • No, its not a touch screen. But i like it

  • Does this phone have the option to connect to wifi?

  • is it touch screen?

  • I had the same problem.I had to return it and got another one and it works. I find this phone to be a headache.I am giving it to my G-son.

  • yes, it was'nt :)) i have my own now xP

  • Can u down load games on the phone from the atop store looking to get those phone for my ten year old soon

  • can nokia 6790 be open line here in the philippines?

  • is the Nokia 6790 Surge a touchscreen?? i thought it was but i've read a comment on here that said it wasn't!?!

  • is the Nokia 6790 Surge a touchscreen?? it looks like it would be but i thought i read a comment on here saying it wasn't!?!

  • nokia neci

  • go to messaging settings, text message, messaging centers create a message center if it doesnt have SMS Settings listed name it SMS Settings and straight talks number is +13123149810 (Note: You have to keep the + sign at the beginning. that can be found by holding down the o key)

  • you may need to go to your settings then text messages then message centers you probably need a message center number and name.

  • About people not able to send SMS or MMS messages, you probably haven't got the write "message centre" number set on your phone. Some info here: settings mms&cat=support&fullcontent=true&cnt­=1&page=1 As an example (In the UK) the o2 operator give their message centre settings here: They also have a service where you can text a number and the reply text will deliver the settings: ­ So basically contact your cellphone operator or google them and search for "message centre" or "message center" settings (depends if USA or Europe). Hope that helps someone

  • this is how u send messages u call straight talk and they will ask you are receiving problems and you say yes and they'll say wut is the problem and u tell them and they'll send you sumone to tell u wut's wrong and how to fix it

  • I am Having the same problem. I have tried it all and am getting a bit angry here! I can send a multi media msg but it goes to my outbox and says sending"which it wont"? Or Deferred? So I have to send it to my drafts, go there and hit send and it will send from there... Quite the process and headache.

  • Is this worth buying I need to know if it is worth buying or not

  • Got a Nokia 6790 Surge 2 weeks ago. It wouldn't send texts. After the first battery charge and usage, it wouldn't change a 2nd time so I was sent another one. I still can't sent text msgs.. haven't found a manual that might help me with this aspect. I hope I'll get an answer on their page on FACEBOOK .. What's the point of having unlimited texting when I can't even send out one!?

  • Yes is it Coolllllllllllll phone dude ):

  • this phone is great love it every one who can handle it scholu get it omg i jus got it today

  • thanks just got my phone and that has been my problem for hours

  • If you cannot get your text messaging to work, call the company you are going through and they will have to give you a number for the messaging center so you can change it and fix it.

  • I just got this phone and started usin it today... I tried to send a text message and it wont send but i can send an audio message.... please help me figure this out!!! thanks

  • Very gr8 but useless

  • Well, i've had my phone for about a year now. Messaging is gr8 as the keys are big. I don't mind the size of the screen, It's good enough for me. and linking to my hotmail took me a few months to figure out (shame) but after that it was smooth sailing. The only problem i currently have is that my internal antennae seems to have gone bad (quizzical look). I don't know why it has nor how to get it fixed as no one here (B'dos) seems to have the parts to fix it. Any help on where i can get a new int. antenn. for it???

  • So is this a good phone and is it worth getting?

  • I cant browse through 2go network with my 6790surge

  • like a micro-laptop of sorts, a good hand set. Nice phone id say. works good for me.

  • this is a good phone communicate,it is a useless 3g fetures it is a one common thing by nokia,and gsm.atlis is software is a good comuunicate..

  • superb.... no words to say.... love ma phone so much... the better one nokia has launched till date...

  • I love my Nokia 6790. I have mines on the StraightTalk network. It has all the cool business features like quick office and notes or memo in which. Its great for school work, when your on the go and want to start a paper or jot on notes to save for latter. I really like using my Music app, Ovi maps and calendar because i sync the calendar to keep up with events in my area from a pub calendar. Overall, it has great battery life, pictures, music and video features. I do wish it had a Flash with focus and the ability to boot up faster. I suppose it has a 3-5 second freeze due to the multitasking ability. I will give it a 4.5 and i still recommend it to others.

  • its a great phone for not to be a touchscreen. I got no problems with my phone. Enjoy your life :)

  • it is superb cell man

  • just an ordinary phone. that's it.

  • coolest phone ever..

  • This phone is the best, just like my new nokia 3310

  • pretty sure its a sim...if it wasn't then gsmarena would make a note in the specs that its cdma(which is sprint, verizon etc) plus its for at&t so it HAS to be sim card acceptable only..so basically if u buy it unlocked then u can use it on any sim card carrier

  • it's an awful phonee,what the hell is this phone? really it's a very complicated one

  • The interface is awfull ! it takes days to get it to work without goind back and forth to your manual. I never read my phone manuals and always managed to make them work, event very complex phones. The first day, i could not find how to : take my vocal message, change the ring mode and a few more very simple task. In my opinion, a good interface should not require new users to get upset to find simple function. I almost beat my phone because of this stupid design. In only two days, I manage to: powerdown by error twice, put in silent mode by error, miss a call by error, locked the keyboard twice and could never find the pound key. In about two years with my old RAZ, I NEVER activate a function by error. Conclusion: a big shit full a cool features with a stupid OS. I rate it 2 out of 5.

  • in this generation only a phone with phone wi-fi will be cool...

  • i think i like ids phone

  • yea me 2 , there seems to be a lack of cheap phones with wifi that have a big qwerty keyboard.

  • is lovely,i can not imagine using anoda product dan nokia. kudos.

  • nokia 6760 is 3.2MP, why is the 6790 2MP? 6790 is xpected to be higher...

  • i wish this had wifi :( BOOOO

  • How u know that it costs 4500 - 5000 Rs in India. This Phone is not launched in India and none nokia centers in India had Idea about this phone. So stop posting wrong posts. I recommend to give posts which has its existence.

  • I don't see a SARS value. Anybody know what it is? [email protected]

  • 97$ if ur on a 3 or 5 years contract ... full price is nearly 280 US$

  • yea dats tru i agree with ya

  • of all the phones i have owned, including a nokia N75, this is the best for everything i use it for. its perfect for the ammount of pictures, videos, and music. it never runs low on messages space in the inbox. at one point i had 1356 messages in my inbox and it was still performing like it was empty, never slows down. and who needs a touch screen? its way more dangerous to have a touch screen while your driving cause you have to physically look at the screen, whereas with this phone i can feel around and text and email without looking at the screen

  • yes but it is very nice lena

  • cool

  • Haven't tried it, but I believe I read in the manual that the earpiece is required to use the radio as it also acts as an antenna.

  • good fone if only it was a touch mobile

  • i think so its not in the features can anyone tell me if the radio works without the ear piece

  • it looks bulky only when its slided up but i believe its a slik phone with great features but yea couldn hav been much better if it was more den 2mp

  • phone looks bulkly and has only 2 mp camera ANYTHING BETTER in this phone worth of buying

  • does the radio work without the headset on??

  • phone looks bulkly and has only 2 mp camera ANYTHING BETTER in this phone worth of buying

  • iam from india and waiting for such type of phone in nokia in end it get ready for lanching but its too late i can not wait any long as soon as possible launch it.

  • "Stupid" is not a valid argument nor a spec. You better justify what is what you find "stupid" about this phones specs else get out.

  • i like that phone,, but it is not available in the philippines

  • this phone doestn suit anyones standards for a nokia phone. yes it has qwerty but other than that. its just has an out dated application and stupid stupid! throw this phone in the trash!

  • zfrank & spacyveli forum gives gsmarena real ratings

  • Hi, this phone a very hot hot hottttttttttttttt re, sonny

  • Price is very affordable and best for internet users. Full HTML browsing :) this is my next phone Indian Price: Rs.4500 - Rs.5000 USD Price: $97

  • I just want to let you all know that this cell phone sucks!! is really expensive, is NOT TOUCH SCREEN, the camera sucks and the intrnet connection is really bad...!! Don't buy it, because you'll be buying crap!!!!!!!!

  • if u lounch this phone tow & three thousand

  • why nokia make this phone ?

  • i HATE this phone with passion!!!! I just don't get it why they couldn't think of a way to include an option wich you could type or speed dial from the main screen without always opening the slide. they keyboard isn't responding quickly your start typing and you always need to go back cause it missed the first letters... I HATE IT!

  • what about flash player

  • this is noy a touch screen

  • nokia surge is very cool

  • don't have one but i think so too

  • i've been a customer of at&t and my family this is the best phone by far so far each year we're entitle to a free phone due to upgrades&myself&wife try to keep us with our kids techs support on phones,with the sd micro memory card i can put as many videos&pictures as i want to&still able to get phone calls,send texts,& scroll thur my menu at the sametime that is the best thing about this phone.

  • which one better 6790 Surge or 6760 slide, because they look same for me. i want to buy one of them.

  • how to transfer stuffs to this mob. i heard thr is no usb....

  • Not a touch screen

  • it willbecome perfect with wifi

  • I didn't find any similar question, so i'll ask, n.n Is it touchscreen?

  • cam differnce 2 mpx and 3.15 mpx.

  • what's the difference between 6790 and 6760?

  • Most Nokia Smartphones can download music directly without a pc. You can also transfer files by bluetooth from pc's or other mobile devices.

  • very nice.excellent

  • I currently have the Nokia XpressMusic. I don't need WiFi, Smartphone or anything too fancy. If I need the internet in the morning I use my computer at work, If I need it at night I use my computer at home. I need a good messaging phone. Something basic but looks expensive lol That's why I decided to go with the Nokia 6790 Surge! Should receive it in 3-5 days! looking forward to it!

  • how do you add music to the phone

  • the camera is the difference, 3.2 mp in the 6760 against the 2.0 of the 6790

  • The difference? nokia 6760 has a 3.2 camera and this one a 2.0 mega pixel camera.

  • wow very good

  • isn't better option, no wifi, no good

  • i think its the same thing, basically. except that the 6760 is the "european" model. and 6790 is the american one. im trying to figure out the same thing, and i cant find any differences.

  • can anyone tell me the differences between 6760 nokia and 6790 surge?which one is the best?help me...

  • i wont to buy this phone

  • Why no wi-fi!?!

  • I think this is, in fact, a smartphone, since it runs Symbian S60 OS. S40 systems are not classified as smartphones, but S60 are (AFAIK).

  • well the phone is nice but the worst part is it don't have wifi that bad at all.i have a request for nokia company please keep your standard

  • I from country of the india... I buy this one mobile phone.... the brand of nokia making good mobile phones, I LIKE..... phone small but powers big..... I put this one phone in shirt pocket easy... Internet people can please tell me how I install game on mobile phone..... I busy man but game time important for me... because I pay money for this one phone I want use all feature fully.

  • The Nokia Surge has some great features. If you are looking for a SMARTPHONE, then buy a smartphone.. Did you think you were going to get something even comparable to the E-Class with Symbian? Take a look at the retail price. It is an affordable quick messaging phone, designed for teens and ocassional users who like a keyboard for texting.

  • My 5530 is better, with wifi and more.

  • phone 1: E52 2: SE AINO

  • heyy umm could anyone tell me tha bestest phone 2 buy???

  • attention wifi whiners: including wifi capability in a mobile significantly increases the cost of production. i see exactly what's happening here: you cheapos see this cheap phone and want it but then see that it doesn't include wifi so you whine about it not having it but you don't want to pay the big bucks for a mobile with wifi lol

  • phone sucks as it doesnt have the wifi which is very very important , as we know nokia launched its no. 1 phone called nokia e 63, then why nokia is belowing its standards , it has 16 m colors but it looks like 256k colors

  • Phone sucks, no Wi-fi!?!?! My N97 was stolen and I was looking on getting the 6790 - I'd rather use a Nokia E53

  • I dont like this

  • Can u tell me its price

  • is this mobile phone available in bangalore?????????

  • i want to have the price please

  • Hi... has this model arrive in Singapore????

  • Nice phone

  • QWERTY keyboard and No wifi . look is very gud but WIFI is important in QWERTY keyboard

  • hey the phone looks good ,but it doesn't have Wifi ...i think most of the users want atleast that wen u want qwERT key pad its just not more messaging but internet is more important ,thats wat i feel.....my view point would be ...its not wat heavy users are looking for....

  • also waiting for it to hit our shores.

  • it's is un sululy muty gud. he tyra fotu, e tim mp3, e fazy vidio, nhea?

  • it is so beautiful very classy I must say, but the last time I saw it was two months ago and I wanted it so bad and I was told that it was not yet in south africa, so when is it coming

  • 6760 slide has better camera thats it really no other difference also i wouldnt even bother to get this phone i now they are going to be cheap and cheerful but still the camera on the 6760 is a little better come on nokia where is the 3.5mm audio jack dont disappoint the community with 2.5mm its awful

  • wow this is great cell phone really i like it but when this modeal come in market bcz i am here in uae dubai thnx

  • i really dont understand the differece btwn the 6790 and 6760.. but i like both of them.. i think nokia is the better proppose than others brands..

  • 3G radio bands and 2-3 M pix camera.

  • whts da difference bitween 6760 @ 6790

  • realy this is new a proporsal regrding new phone.i think there are so many phones with many many options with many many size screens.but my proposal is for small.simple,user frendly and cheafest mobile phone.many phone users want a phone with very few options.if you hawe any posibility to produse a small phone,specily receawing calls,answering calls and only the phone book.you can use very small digital screen for it.

  • i know that

  • This is a very good phone people who have a technical knowledge about phones,i like it Sidney South Africa

  • Hello , hotspot is not cheap..... good customer care relationship, good exec as well as managers in bangalore......

  • are u able to put in a sim card or is it sim free?

  • no wlan no thanks

  • hey...i need this cellphone so can u really provide ie to me...????

  • Try the Nokia 5800. Very happy with ours and its affordable

  • helo whos this .....u cant comment to any retail co.... like hotspot....these retail chains are very reliable ....and customer is sure about products that retails chains providing genuine products in genuine prices...

  • unboxing video

  • don�t purchase any product from hot spot retail chain because their products and rates are not reliable,they are all fake. more over they specially deals in discontinued models of the companies like motorola,samsung and sony ericsson because these phones are of very poor quality and are providing huge profits.

  • compare this to a touch pro 2

  • this phone clearly shows nokia's losing it!! what were they thinking? bloody ugly phone.

  • how can I shop for a phone in here

  • Why can't you just write in English?

  • what the hell is this? awful design!!! Kiram too halge Nokia ,in dige chie?

  • I have sony ericsson experia, great phone, touch screen, keyboard, best battery life of all windows phones

  • N97 is a option!! Great phone only expansive

  • dis is clearly d best phone n idea u guyz hav eva had sins the nokia 3310 lol lol lol!!!!!!!!!!!!@#$%

  • hey guys firstly, thank you for a fantastic website. i used it on a daily basis. i am in the market for a new cell phone. i am looking to purchase a cellphone that has a qwerty keyboard + touchscreen. Should have at least a 2mp camera, pref GPS but not a must and should be able to store at least 8gigs worth of data. is there anything that you guys could recommend. i quite like the look of this nokia, but it's not a touch screen. your advise will be highly appreciated. over and out. craig - south africa

  • I had hopes for the phone. I owna 9300I and there is no way I would down grade to this one. It is really meant for the under 15 croud.

  • what type of phone do u think i shld buy that has a a full QWERTY keyboard and touch screen together

  • n one more thing not TOUCH SCREEN

  • What's d basis of ur comment-do u av proof of what u av said,Mazi?

  • looks like cheap chinesse phone,nothing more

  • man this fone is Sh*t

  • Its nice and I would like to have it asap. Am ready to pay the price whatsowever

  • no wifi, no 3,5mm audio jack, 2Mpx camera? better look for another gadget guys, this just not worth it

  • would love to get it soon................

  • omg.....candy floss (looks good but actually bad on the inside)

  • lol........this looks ok but why?....nokia explain urself

  • you should get another phone because it is not meant for 13 year old child and moreover it is money wastage literally......

  • No i dont think so that this phone is so good its just a crapp and wastage of money and an eye opener for those people who love this phone to death...................................

  • Ignorant people who are criticising the design and features should actually read what somebody with the phone actually thinks at

  • I am getting a new phone for my little sis she's 13 and really likes phones with key boards. I am not really sure if this would be a good phone for her. Is this phonegood for a 13 year old, or should i get something else?

  • u r right..nokia thought they are the leader of mobile phone industry and keep coming out with new piece of crap....times to wake up nokia....

  • if nokia put battery into 5630 like this one 1500mAh i can say nokia is in the right track. i cant imagine how nokia engineer think of putting only 860mAh on a music phone, how short time you can play music?

  • i just got the nokia 6790 surge and love it to death. not quite to death but i love everybit about it. The texting is easy and the battery life is great. it also has amazingly fast internet and quite good celular video and mobile tv. Perfect phone and at great prices too.

  • u bad

  • Hi, guys,I am from Bangladesh. I wanna know about this phone. Can anybody tell whether this phone is available in Bangladesh or not? Plz inform me when the phone will be available.

  • Recently Nokia and Siemens have entered in a joint venture with each other and there are rumors that Nokia and Siemens Network is providing monitory capabilities to Iran and hence helping the dictatorship. Nokia Siemens Network clarifies that it only provided the facility of local voice calls monitoring and there is no so much check on packet inspection, web and internet filtration. So there are restrictions also for the usage of cell phone in Iran and there is not a full time facility of making the use in bad manners

  • actually i like all the brand of Nokia products...

  • Hey I was wondering how great of a phone this really is. I am looking for a new phone and I'm debating on a few different ones. (LG Xenon, Nokia 6790 Surge, Nokia 9300, and Samsung F700). I was wondering if someone could give me a tip on what to get. I'm looking for a very good QWERY board and a good internet. Other than that all I like is to be able to get personal ringtones and texttones(but I can live without text tones), and speakerphone. If you have a phone recomendation please let me know. (:

  • this is obviously for the us markets... it looks so weird

  • exactly it suite for you

  • U need 2 Check your eyes.The Phone is quite Nice. 100% Nokia

  • U need 2 Check your eyes.The Phone is quite Nice. 100% Nokia

  • the handset is not that bad ....after reading the comments i thought its bad but the feature is gud

  • hey guys!!! just chill!!! it's the 3G and i-net connection.. Look!!! It's SOOOOO freakin' cool!!!

  • i like it. very bold move from nokia. they always play safe, now they're trying more designs. might be a misfire, but bold nonetheless

  • The number 3 most popular phone is the ugliest and the crappiest spec'd smartphone on 2009, nokia fans are as freaky as ever.

  • wan-less, 2mpx phone?

  • it is a phone 4 messages and not 4 other things no screen no cam no wlan nothings except msgs

  • more touchscreen plz

  • i hav not yet seen in any of the stores. whr can i find it? wats the cost?

  • I think Iron Man 2 is going to be an amazing movie

  • I think ironman 2 is gonna be an awesome movie

  • Why this phone is most popular..It's very bad... It's big and nothing special on it! I think this phone for kids!!!

  • looks like a transformer!

  • Very nice

  • no wifi ?? sounds bad

  • what happened to nokia? it's uglyyyyyyyy..

  • look good and nice, I enjoyed NOKIA, THE BEST,gracias Nokia.

  • Looks like an interesting step-down competitor to the n97. a slide out full keyboard with stylish looks. for those who want more phone in their smartphone.

  • just becoz being the market leader thinks anything can be marketed sorry nokia

  • nokia give it for free cause no one will buy it

  • I think it's a normal fone, nothing special other than the qwerty. The 2mp cam is substandard and no Wlan. It does not fit in my dream world where a 3.2mpx is standard, a qwerty and wlan are a norm. The HSDPA is rather impressive though.@ 3.6mps. I give it a 6.5/10

  • Buahhhh!!!:-p Looking phone..Yuck!!

  • it looks heavy, i hate it, like No WIFI? 2 Megapixel? And look like a toy.. one of the worst nokia phone ever.

  • for kids!LOL

  • i cant believe nokia will release this nonsense phone.......

  • oh .the camera is very poor.i dont like it

  • that phone its not niceeeeeee

  • Awkward looking phone ! Nokia people always think that all users are fools as they are. Specially in formulating designs.

  • no wifi! still with qvga.man,what nokia thinking? oh! it's not N series. nice looking device, typical nokia's silly standard. :)

  • This phone is not bad as hardware but it looks .. uhm... awful ! I'll never buy it ..

  • What is this?

  • What was Nokia thinking? Hideous!

  • the world disgusting phone i've ever seen...

  • i have to agree with the comments here. i just have one comment .... WTF is that? trying to combat the crackberries? im sure nokia can do better.

  • saw it today in the store, I think it's really unique and stylish, not to mention it's running the Symbian OS with a full keyboard and accelerometer, I want one

  • no wlan and no 5 or 8 mpx camera??? what's that?

  • Not on this phone if u would have read the specs.... lmao

  • At least the Screen is centered with the keyboard.

  • daaaaaaaaaammmmmmmnnnnn Nokia what is wrong with you guys....!!!

  • whose for kids now??LOL

  • never seen thos fone b4. was looking for n86 review, just got 1 btw, and saw NOKIA SURGE, clicked on it and have bin laughing 4 last 15 mins

  • worse model I ever seen

  • no wlan???

  • The gadget with good features

  • one word to describe "FOUL"

  • not bad...

  • designer ugly?...lol

  • What the hell!....is nokia loosing their ideas. Its all suppose to be eye candy but its not even close

  • Ugly..Outdated looks...Expensive..not trendy..weird.

  • keke

  • If I could have given it minus points I would have, just plain ugly & poor specifications. Nokia, why don't you just throw in the towel, just about everyone else's phones are now better than yours by a massive margin.

  • incredible view- we like it!

  • It's not that weird. It's different and thas not necessarily a bad thing. At first u're like hmmmm... But I think it's growing on me.

  • ugly phone no wifi this not called a smart phone

  • ok so finally nokia has lost its...brains

  • How much is the phone?

  • how to make a call with this godamn phone???

  • this is crap

  • wat was nokia thinking!!!!

  • hey guys, Is this available in india too...??? please let me know...

  • Nokia still got to do something right...Specs are very low..

  • Is cheap! :)) BUt the specs are 0!!!Hahahaahahhaa.

  • Give me one reason to buy this phone..!!

  • Uggggggggggly phone ... Is this really Nokia ?? impossible ...

  • yuk!

  • Hi Team I would like to know why is it that nokia would produce a extreamely good phone at a high price thats equal to the value of the phone but when i buy the phone i still need to buy some of the futures like Quick office?

  • Aren't you a nice fellow? No you're not.. :D

  • this is the most awesome phone ever. hope in my country it'll come in same cost. it would b nice if it had wifi

  • what? nokia is releasing such a ugly phone.. nokia need some more hardwork to attract us,customers

  • It`s only for at&t probably , it`s for the sidekick adictted.

  • tis sexy

  • Fugly!

  • is this phone also available in the philippines???

  • It is the appropriate phone for a businessman,the regular system camera not responding for a model like this

  • This phone is incredible! Lots of feature in a compact design. Nokia is an awesome brand!

  • cool pne bt cam is very low n not even touch screen.

  • cool phone i dont care how it looks like it looks cool and it has many features good job nokia!

  • yup very very ugly.....i dun like it

  • just weird

  • mujhey to pasand nahi aya iska sub se bara fault ye hai its jxt 2 mp BUKWAAAz

  • Lofl i think they should leave it in the ware house O.o

  • what is this..? it is even not good looking

  • good job but cam is low..s

  • Cool Looking Mobile. But its missing WLAN & Touch Screen...

  • most weired phone I've ever seen!!!

  • hello ugly! lol

  • Freak phone

  • lol!!! this is obviously a phone that at&t designed. their is a dedicated button, att logo and there is a hyperlink for att in nokia.com. nokia had nothing to do with this phone lol!!!

  • nokia surge have new something just name and shape but it have very simple features as 2.4 inch screen as nokia n82 (small screen) 2.5 mm audio jack not 3.5 no wlan and secondary cam small storage memory 2 MP cam (as n70) ****it must have avery cheap price

  • ugly!!!!!!!

  • Or what???? This phone is truly the ugliest device in the history of horrid devices...

  • I liked this phone, for me, its beatiful, and have good features for a mid-end phone.

  • it will rock the market if it comes in india (haldwani)itwill grasp the market ifti comes with nagotiable prices

  • oh lalala the phone is big. is like a bus what a boring phone.................

  • ahahhahahahahah WTF NOkia has some spare old parts and make this sh|t :D:D:D:D:D no future for the vikings

  • Good show nokia!!!!!!!!!!!! great job

  • i think i like this phone, who said this phone is ugly, it's beautiful but the only bad thing about this phone is no WiFi

  • A small QWERTY phone for heavy txters with the added bonus of S60, 3G and GPS - price it right, Nokia, and it'll sell like hotcakes.

  • This is the most disgusting design I've ever seen from nokia.

  • MY goodness!!! Was Nokia trying to piss off the clients or what? I dont know where to start or end! I am shocked it even got 5 points on design and performance!

  • Man, he is right, NOkia is going down now, because the economy. But this economy crisis will be end, and Nokia will going up. Not just Nokia lost a lot of money, the main Japanese companies too. This year is a hard year.

  • this phone looks ugly

  • i actualy liked the look of it :P i don't know.. looks funny - would never buy one, though

  • no wifi....dissapointing

  • actually, i kinda like the design.. something new :)

  • The Surge will cost $79.99 with a two-year AT&T contract and after rebates when it drops on July 19, 2009. I think the price is not bad since Nokia's been known for releasing high end phones with high end prices, but for this price it's not bad for the low-end user who doesn't like tinkering with their phones. But screen size of 2.4" and battery with 4-4.5 hrs talk time is not even that good.

  • what is the new in this model cam 2mb no wirelesslan i think the main feature just the battry life only nokia begin to falldown

  • a little freaky

  • wow this is very agly man haha

  • Nice phone for the kids.

  • hahaha i thought the n98!! hahahaha!! what a garbage from nokia.. nokia your going down!! iphone rules!!!!!

  • this is the ugliest phone i have ever seen!!! maybe designer is also ugly.

  • Ugliest Phone ever by nokia... just luk at it folks its so clumpsy and boring!!!!

  • I totaly agree with you man!!!!

  • we dont need this fone in the market,we have the N97 and N86 in the market modern fones why nokia brought this fone in the market.nokia must invest on a launch of a fone for 2 sim card.

  • its look to different style &iook phone.very energetic look by amit

  • its look to different style &iook phone.very energetic look by amit

  • This phone is for AT&T only, will not be available in the whole world.

  • is this phone available for the whole world?hehehe... i'm from philippines,do you think it will be available here in my place soon???please help?

  • this phone is looks nice does it take good pictures thou? coz im looking for a new phone.

  • i know dude, just didnt bother to correct it

  • how much is it

  • You said 'mane' instead of 'name'

  • what exact date is the SURGE coming out in july????

  • This is the ugliest phone i've ever seen, c'mon seriously, any self-respecting human shouldn't use or buy this. Sure, it's a nokia phone, and i love nokia phones more than any other phones from other brands, but still... Nokia is the best phone manufacturer, but that doesn't make this phone any prettier. It literally hurts my eyes when i look at it. And the features are nothing to write home about... Maybe next time Nokia won't let the carrier (at&t) do any of the phone design.

  • i think the design of this phone is good...but feel so sorry for the specification is less than the design i expected more when i saw the design...

  • good

  • guys the n97 is way better than the surge ? ?

  • This will be available worldwide. And it will flop. Watch Nokia to replace it within 6-9 month with a touchscreen taking all of the frontal area, like LG Xenon. Have to wonder why Nokia is so slow responding to the customer tastes/demand? Regarding the camera, lots of phones sold in US still have 1.3M cameras. Look, it took gayPhone 2 years to upgrade to 3M! So 2M is top notch for US consumer!!!

  • I think it is okay but seriously who uses a 2 megapixel camera anymore!!!!! Also it needs to be a british mobile rather than just American.

  • this is called the 6790 surge in the us and it will come to europe as the 6760 slide

  • Thank God it won't be available worldwide... this phone is pig ugly! Even by Nokia standards... This p.o.c challenges the Moto Karma for the title of "most disgusting mobile phone in the planet"!!! Lol

  • Wel its not prity but i hope it can play ngage games then ill buy it over the lg ks520

  • ...how am I supposed to access internet with out WLAN facility??? This is pure BULLSHIT. Nokia is taking it's customers for a ride. Using this phone, every time I have to use Internet I should connect through my service provider, which isn't the cost effective way. Common NOKIA... we were expecting something better from you.

  • u guys dont have to worry about this phone cuz this aint gonna be available world wide its designed for ppl with mid range phone needs and its only available in contract based at and t stores . which means in america mostly lol they are using motorolas anyways so who gives a dam . lol still the phones good to go with mid range specs and prize for a contract phone .

  • Made in Funland

  • its best product in risn. price

  • 'cause this is low price phone!!!

  • n the mane suits right SURGE i.e., excess of the leftovers (older stuff)

  • looks like nokia has produced the phone with all the leftovers of other phones 2 mp camera, 2.5mm audio jack older softwares n low 3G speed guess the processor must be slower too What crap nokia, get in the big boys atleast what u promised E55 n E52

  • What a kind of phone is this?? I choose X peria or Nokia 5730 XM better so much than it

  • Nokia? What is this ? only looks good and spec are nothing.

  • Nothing new, just a bad alternative for the HTC G1. Why a 2 MP camera, when all the other manufacturers are using an 8 or even 12 MP camera? Nokia is losing its credibility on the mobile market with lousy handsets which are only created from a commercial point of view. It's no longer the innovative mobile company we've known...

  • seems like cheap or probably cheapest nokia phone

  • This is nothing but joke!

  • A disappointment to Nokia.

  • all this phones are 2 years old......... The technology is forward the people need something like nokia aeon.... This is phone....... I'm bussines man i have n95 8gb and 2 extra battaries.......is quet good bad the technology that they give us is too old they have a lot phones that they don't release i don't know why.... Try every one to see the nokia aeon consept in youtube and after that nothing here have any chance.....

  • When will Nokia "Aero" arrive at Gsmarena.

  • I have the N95 and YES the camera is awesome. I know that you cannot judge a camera just by it MP. What I am saying is that, with N96 or the N97, they could have put in just a little bit more to tickle our fancy. ^_^ Just so you know, I LOVE Nokia, I just want them to UP their game a bit. Like in a trilogy, I want the RETURN OF THE KING.

  • Bad Phone.Only time wasting.

  • It's all about economics. How to earn money without thinking. Good idea!

  • Well N97 is the next generation phone maybe just a low garded cheap phone it should have being with 8gb card high camara and i reallly dont like the design...well let see the review..

  • Where do i dial my number from? Open a slider every time!!!! Where is the touch key pad!:(

  • Hi. You know about the cameras of the N95, N96, and N97, even though they're 5 megapixel cameras (seems pretty low for some people)the picture quality is still good (even better than my 8.1 megapixel digital camera), so doesn't it mean that the megapixel doesn't always count?

  • who comes up with this stuff...Fail Nokia

  • Hi! N96 & N97 just isnt a quantum leap that I expected. They still have the same 5MP shooter and a bit of spec upgrade. N96 is not that much better at all than the N95. and It's design, it looks like any NEW NSeries mobile available in the market. It does not perform that well. N97, after two years isnt much as well. LG really have a something something with the battery life, but their phones pack a punch. Though I dont like LG that much, I'll have to say that they do offer a bang for your buck, same goes with Samsung. Samsung, on the other hand, have been dishing out a lot great phones with better and better battery life. I am sorry for living in the past, but Nokia still havent paved my way for the future. I'll be waiting, maybe the N98 (if ever) can give Nokia GRAND COMEBACK it deserves.

  • its a mid range product incase if u havent noticed lol .

  • KceeGee , would u mind if u get a closer look on the n96 and the n97 touch please . cuz u sound like a ancient king :-D lg and samsung doing a great job on designs but the battery life is awful i hope they will increase the battery life before anything else . u dont want a phone that needs to be charged everyday at 8 pm .

  • c", its a mishap for Nokia to let AT&T handle the design and feature of this phone. Americans have in general have weird taste, they love dreadful things like iPhone

  • this hp sure need the surgery fast,couse it only have 2.0 mega pixel...

  • This nokia surge surely needs surgery....and fast.

  • awful! I would pay US$20 for it tho.

  • What's up with Nokia? It seemed that they gave it all with the N95 and N95 8GB. Because after this 2 awesome phone, they have done nothing but disasters one after another. the Nseries design-wise looks almost the same. A little spec upgrade here and there. From the N95/N95 8GB, they have not done much to excite me. Mind you, I am a Nokia fanboy, or I was. I had the N90, N80, N93i, N73 ME and I still have my N95. But as I said it stopped there, 2 years ago. 2 years ago when Samsung is producing niche phones, LG was only known for the chocolate, Moto was still at its RAZR glory. (side note, I think moto also got stuck like Nokia). Samsung and LG have both learned a LOT in the past 2years, they are now offering HIGH SPEC phones for a normal Nokia phone price. Nokia, where's the innovation? where is the Nokia that keeps me cursing because before when I get a new Nseries phone, you would release a better Nseries phone that I just have to get. Where is the Nokia domination? Don't bask in your former glory Nokia. All other phone manufacturers are creeping to dethrone you. I wanna see my KING. I want my KING to rule the land. else, I just have to let go.

  • no wifi? i wont put my money on it,

  • What is this? A phone or a calculator? Nokia should be making phones with monster specs or else they will be left behind by other manufacturers.

  • no wifi...

  • Was looking forward to the specs on this since I have AT&T but they have disappointed me...

  • Nokia is worlds best mobile manufacturer but this phone is just a backward step.

  • looks like a toy phone..maybe nokia is targeting this for kids under 13..

  • What a weak phone, hahahahahahahahahahaaaa, what's happen with Nokia, they are going down?

  • just a fake

  • This is Nokia's answer to all the Samsung and LG offerings. Where is the real Nokia, and why aren't they responding with some quality handsets like they're capable of producing? I've been holding off buying a new phone, thinking that Nokia must be ready to announce a new line-up. And we get this? Extremely disappointing. Nokia, if you aren't going to compete, start making toasters and microwaves.

  • it looks like a waterproof cellphone

  • From a Nokia fan - why are Nokia going backwards. Are they mad? Qwerty slide keyboard with a 2.4" screen and 2 MPixel camera. Surely no-one thinks this can compete these days. I am still waiting for the E90 replacement (the N97 is not even close) and I am now beginning to despair. Sadly, the Touch Pro2 suddenly looks even more attractive.

  • not so impressive..... lolz

  • No 3mm audio-jack, No autofocus camera. :-( I like the beefy 1500 mAh battery-choice though. But that initself is not enough.

  • They should of put the transformers logo on the back cover and call it Megatron! US carrier's tastes suck!!! I wouldn't get caught dead with something like this...

  • This nokia for at&t only like samsung t819 +A777+t919......but a777 Beautiful .no like this nokia.100% made IN CHINA... nokia is loss this time

  • This has got to be the ugliest Nokia I have ever seen.... like seriously. WTF was nokia thinking???? Damn you AT&T.

  • I've Read All the Other People's Opinions And Also Agree With Them. NOKIA Can Do A Lot Better Than This. They Are Making 14 Phones/Second! But My Question to Them is That How Much Will It Sell Surge/Second? Disheartened! :( But Still... NOKIA RuleZ!

  • no wireless so sad....

  • This nokia for at&t only like samsung t819 +A777+t919......but a777 Beautifu .no like this nokia.100% MEAD IN CHINA

  • 2 megapixel camera, no wifi, small screen with 320 X 240 resolution, ugly phone, nokia is in the toilet, Go sonyericsson and blackberry they will defeat all.

  • weird 2Mp, 2.5 audio jack?? omg.... really a turn down

  • Bad this nokia .sorry no good

  • rubbish and very very very very very ugly

  • Looks great! but one thing bugs me, no WLAN? and a 2mp cam? not even a flash? Geez, Nokia could have done better. A slider qwerty with no WLAN, that's quite sad. I do hope this is just temporary specs.

  • Nokia copy Sony Ericsson, they add a name(Surge), like Sony Ericsson to the Satio, or Aino. About the design:is ugly!

  • unless u wna stick out from the crowd (in a bad way) y wud any1 want this junk? not only is it ugly and fat, its specs suck

  • LOL...nokia strikes back with a bang to fight SE and samsung with this great ugly phone...

  • this phone is painful to look at. why nokia, why.

  • Design looks good but the performances are sucky. 2 MP camera ? You gotta be kiddin me.

  • geeez no Wi-Fi... nokia always dwell on not making the ultimate fone, they always spread the features of their fones to different units

  • Lol!!! Have you seen its rating?? This P.O.C is ugly even to die-hard nokia fans... lol!!!!!

  • odd design c", its a mishap for Nokia to let AT&T handle the design and feature of this phone. Americans have in general have weird taste, they love dreadful things like iPhone

  • another waste handset from nokia...

  • This phone is obviously going to be geared towards the teen market. It seems like a messaging mid-range phone. Im not really impressed with it apart from its looks.

  • hai friends this mobile looks very nice but specification vice this is very low please these it does n't have the wifi it looks like business mobile i think it will be very soft to use

  • it's not worth it!!!

  • Nokia is going down and down

  • 1st! But, not a nice fone!
