Matthew, good review. It helped me in choosing what I wanted to get as my phone. So I ended up getting the surge…and I can’t be more pleased. Symbian s60 is an awesome OS and not only was I able to get all the yucky at&t preloaded software off, but I’ve found thousands of free apps available online that have been extremely useful. I personally don’t like the blackberries and found the iphone to restricting/kinda dumb as far as “what I’m able to and allowed to do” with it. So did a little more research and re-found Nokia. Now I know why everyone else in the world uses Nokia. This thing is awesome, light-weight, fun to use..the mini map browser is great. I’ve dropped it more than a few times and apart from once (where it “exploded” into its three parts…main body/phone, battery, & battery cover), it has stayed in tact and it works fine. Yes, sliding everytime was kind of a new concept at first but I set up my speed dial and adapted (I actually like it sliding it now, it’s like my lil mini computer buddy). So far…I’m loving it. Oh and I get compliments on it all the time as well. Here’s what I have kept on it app-wise so far: 1. skyfire browser 2. google maps (although now Nokia gives you their Ovi Maps as well) 3. youtube app 4. Mobbler for lastfm.com 5. Worldmate for currency exchange and travel info. 6. A guitar tuner 7. EA Games Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 07 8. X-plore (for file browsing and removing those retarded pre-loaded apps) 9. Facebook widget 10. Beat-ed (a super cool drum machine app.)

If you need the wi-fi..then yes…go with the e71x, but otherwise it’s pretty much the same cuz of the OS. Keyboards awesome as well

Ok, I hate the surge! I have to use it for work and it was the only smartphone that had a somewhat decent keyboard. I do not like the touch screen keyboards or the small little keyboards on the blackberry’s. I have the LG enV Touch(for personal use with Verizon) I love it! I love the keyboard and ease of this device! I wish the surge had a little bigger key board and the slide up screen would go up more, I have to turn my hands sideways to use the top row on the keyboard!! Boo!! Unfortunately, AT&T doesn’t have many other options!! How do I get the keyboard to light up? I appreciate your help! Thank You.

Will ipod headphones work in this phone or is 2.5mm the weird kind where you need a converter?

I have had it for 2 days and HATE IT. Looks like it has a lot of apps but even paying a hefty additional monthly fee for PDA bundle - most apps require additional $$$$$

There is this mysterious voice that I can't shut off - and neither can the techs at the store.

It randomly shuts off - you have a nanosecond to view and press the right button or the phone goes dark.

You need a min of 4 steps just to make a phone call unless it is in your addy book - then you only need 3.

No one (chat, phone support and corp store) has yet been able to provide instructions (including the thin and not very useful manual)on how to have a voice tag to make a call.

YUCK YUCK YUCK

Run fast and far -

Thanks for your articles and the review on this 6790 Surge Matthew. I just ordered one to replace a non-symbian we've got here. Actually got it after seeing your E71x tips and the video here. It won't compare to the N82 but it's compatible with pcsuite and has 3G. My ATT 3G works pretty good here in Charlotte, central FL (except at the cape) and up I-85 a ways. Sorry they have trouble where you live.

Where's CCleaner for cell phones??
