Nokia Surge Nokia and AT&T are back hand in hand with the announcement of the new “socially supercharged smartphone”. Its officially named as “Surge” aka “Mako” and it should certainly make up for its name for the low price once it is launched.

The Nokia Surge phone boasts a slider keyboard beneath the 2.4inch TFT screen that displays 16M colors at 320×240pixels. They could have covered the top of the slide completely with the display itself but wish I could guess what they were up to by providing a Ngage-like screen with broad bordered panel.

The Nokia Surge boasts full QWERTY keyboard that seems comfortable enough to quickly type anything with ease. It comes with a 2 mega pixel camera with up to 4X digital zoom that can shoot pictures for a maximum resolution of 1600×1200 pixels and also records videos in QVGA quality.

Listen to the music on its 2.5mm jack headphones from the gallery or download it over the air via Napster Mobile, eMusic Mobile, XM Radio (and even stereo FM radio with RDS) and more. Users can also share live videos even when making a voice call, which is certainly the first of its type service in US by any carrier.

You can also share videos and pictures from your Nokia Surge over social networking sites like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and Flickr using JuiceCaster or indulge in full fledged browsing over the web using its HTML browser with Flash Support.

The Nokia Surge is designed on S60 platform which is probably the most open and user-friendly OS platform from Nokia which means you’ll never run short of applications when you need them.
