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:

Westward for Symbian S60 and UIQ smartphones

Jack Cook — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:52:44 +0000

In February, Astraware introduced Westward for Windows Mobile and now they have officially released it for Symbian S60 and UIQ smartphones today. I have been using it on a Nokia N78 and have found it to be extraordinary. Astraware does a terrific job on graphics and it plays well on small screen devices. If you have a Symbian S60 or UIQ device, this is well worth checking out.

Enter the wild, rough and tumble world of Westward

Astraware and Sandlot Games are excited to announce the release of Westward for Symbian S60 and UIQ smartphones. The highly acclaimed game was released for Palm OS and Windows Mobile smartphones and PDAs earlier this year.

Based on the hit PC game by Sandlot Games, Westward offers many hours of absorbing game play as players control the destiny of the Wild West by building thriving towns, exploring unchartered plains, dense forests and rocky canyons and guiding their settlers to safety and success.

Westward features 4 different locations to explore with more than 20 game levels. Players manage a variety of resources and deal with environmental disasters like fire and drought, all while following the trail of the Mad Russian, a con artist extraordinaire, who must be brought to justice before he can cheat anyone else out of their life savings.

Westward has been optimized for smartphones running S60 3rd Edition and UIQ3 and can be controlled using 5-way, key controls or stylus. The game is available now, priced $19.95. To download a trial or to purchase, visit http://www.astraware.com/westward.
