The guy hit the bullseye. Mid-July launch he claimed and indeed it is. Nokia and AT&T have announced Surge that also goes by the model number 6790 or Mako. The phone as we know, has been created to satisfy avid texters and chatters. Surge includes a full QWERTY keyboard, 3G support, full HTML browser supporting Flash, pre-installed JuiceCaster app to post content on social networking sites, 2MP camera and its share of AT&T apps like Navigator, Mobile Music and Video Share.

The phone will start retailing from July 19 for $79.99 after a two year contract and $50 mail-in rebate.

Press Release

Thanks to leak in late May, we know what to expect from this Finnish horizontal QWERTY phone. Now, someone apparently working with Nokia managed to get his hands on the device and shoot a quick preview of the phone. The new details to emerge from the video is that 6790 Surge, also known as Mako will find its way out in mid-July on AT&T and will sell at an unknown price, though will be priced reasonably.

The phone is smaller and has a form factor like E75 but does not have an alphanumeric keypad. It will also have lower specs than the Eseries offering.
