Nokia 6790 Review

Nokia 6790 Review

At 1st glance, the Nokia Surge 6790, supplied from AT&T, vaguely resembles all other touchscreen mobile phones with possibly slide-out or flip-down QWERTY keyboards. only just one problem, however: The Surge does not possess a touchscreen. getting a result, some cell mobile gymnastics are required to create instant dial calls and navigate the menus. Sadly, for many, this ergonomic awkwardness will effortlessly overwhelm the Surge's different other multimedia positives.

When we 1st saw the Nokia Surge in pictures, we didn't instead know what to create in the design, and now that people have it in hand, well, it's interesting. The Surge is generally a whole great offer scaled-down than we expected, measuring just 3.8 inches tall by 2.2 inches broad by 0.6 inch thick and 4.3 ounces. Even although the compact sizing is nice, we weren't so fond in the plasticky and slick really feel in the phone, as well as the battery include creaks in the slightest quantity of pressure.

While scaled-down than most multimedia cell screens, the Surge's 2.4-inch show nonetheless is between the sharpest and most vibrant we've seen, acceptable for equally film viewing and photo framing even in instant sunlight. And supplied that equally AT&T's CV and MobiTV film companies are accessible, there's lots to see.

That said, you'll most possible be utilizing the cell in landscape mode a whole great offer in the time, so in the very lowest you have a wider viewing place once the display is horizontal. to create factors simpler for you, the show features a built-in accelerometer, so the display orientation will instantly change from portrait to landscape mode after you rotate the phone. The accelerometer was fast, as well as the display transformed with minimal to no delay. However, we do observe that some in the onscreen icons looked jagged as once the display was going to go near to the fritz, although it certainly not do all through our screening period.

Photos used using the handset's built-in 2MP electronic camera are large, multi-colored and clear, but lack the crispness of images from cell cameras with bigger and much better imagers. in house shots, however, are between just one of one of the most effective we've witnessed from the 2MP phone, devoid in the normal dull blurriness. key controls – shutter launch and zoom – are additional fast to manipulate appropriate below your appropriate index finger. The 4x electronic zoom lets you have instead individual with subjects as well, in spite of the actuality that resulting close-ups are fuzzy and away from focus.

Had Nokia positioned a touchscreen on this newborn as well as a slide-down dialpad, and we'd be speaking about a first-rate phone. But by producing it so awkward just to entry the handset's prime purpose – dialing to create a contact – and piling on the host of assorted minor niggles, the Surge cannot help but hold a few challenging knocks.
