    Pros: It works as designed. It is faster than a Nokia E71x for Web Browsing. It allows many paths to e-mail. With the right case it can even float. The viewong options are nice.

    Cons: Nokia has created a device that even they don't fully support. The N6790 Surge is not able to:
    1. Sync with Windows 7
    2. Is not supported by Nokia OVI Website.
    3. Cannot use Google Maps.
    The list of cannot useis much longer than the can use list

    Summary: The Nokia 6790 Surge is a great disappointment after the Nokia E71x it replaced. Both have the Symbian OS I wanted but, that is where the similarity ends. One has to think that Nokia Cheaped-Out when it came to functionality. It is not supported by Nokia's Do-All OVI Website. All other Nokia Symbian Devices are support but, Not the 6790 Surge. It syncs well with MS XP,Vista, Novell/Suse WS11.x but, it Will Not Sync with MS Windows 7.any. If you are looking for a SmartPhone for business the Nokia 6790 Surge Is Not the right choice. If AT&T Wireless Sales Staff were better trained, I would not be locked into the Lump O'Lard. So now I must live with it and Nokia has to endure my Less than Enthusiastic Reviews of this product. If you want a Do-It-All Nokia SmartPhone get an E-Series Device,don't waste your time/money on this lack-luster device. If you want to hang a Smarter Device on your child, then give it a look.
