Nokia’s latest AT&T release is basically a feature phone built to feed the social media affected. With a 2-megapixel camera, a full slide-out QWERTY, and Symbian S60 interface, the Nokia Surge doesn’t wander too far from the basics but instead of a generic WAP browser check this out:

In addition to an impressive suite of messaging capabilities, the Nokia Surge offers a powerful browsing experience, including Flash support to view most sites in full HTML or watch YouTube videos.  Nokia Surge allows users to post messages, images, videos, and comments to web sites like Facebook on-the-go with the pre-installed JuiceCaster application.

The Surge seems to be a respectable intro to smartphones while still remaining simple and affordable. Internal storage straggles on the low end at 128 MB, expandable to 8 GB via memory card, although it’s capable of reading PDFs, creating and editing Microsoft Office documents with Quickoffice, and GPS service at HSDPA speeds where available. At the $79.99 price point with two-year contract and after a mail-in rebate, AT&T customers have another affordable slide-out QWERTY option and another Symbian S60 handset wrapped into one. Check out a commercial for the Nokia E71x’s newest AT&T cousin below:
