You can’t do much better when it comes to unlocked cell phones to serve as second or third “lines.”  But just what is the Surge?  What’s it like?  Well, it’s a 3G phone offering 2.4 inches of screen real estate at 320×240 TFT pixels and 16 million colors.  The 2 megapixel camera is inferior when compared to the 3 megapixel-plus variant on the related 6760 Slide model available in the rest of the world (which phone, incidentally, isn’t carrier-exclusive), but the Surge did debut earlier, too.  Video recording is made at the standard QVGA resolution.

This phone uses the Symbian Series 60 multi-tasking platform, nicely complementing the provided feature-set, marking it a mid-level offering.  The Surge works with Bluetooth 2.0, with A2DP support, and offers microUSB connectivity as well.  Audio is piped through a standard 2.5mm jack.  As is the case with most Nokia products nowadays, there is also a built-in stereo FM radio player.  MicroSD cards are supported for close to a maximum of 8GB of additional storage space, in addition to the 2GB card included.  This phone is available in black, white, or red color schemes.  Talk-time is scored for reasonable five hours, with standby is a wholesome five hundred.

Even better, being unlocked means not having to deal with AT&T and their long two-year contract with mandatory voice and data plans that could possibly result in about a thousand dollars a year for even a rather casual user!  And naturally the Surge is obviously meant for those who are constantly texting, chatting, e-mailing, or using the internet.  Such folks could quite quickly wind up with over two thousand dollars a year!
