Description
Nokia Surge 6790 3G Qwerty Keyboard AT&T, A Grade, AT&T branded
From AT&T carrier-return stock, this Nokia Surge 6790 3G Qwerty slider is graded A Grade after testing, with only very minor marks allowed; the listing does not state a lock status. Tested working Surges at a used grade fit prop houses and retro-tech sellers who need the keyboard and screen to function, not a sealed box.
The Nokia Surge 6790 is a 2009 AT&T messaging smartphone: a slide-out four-row QWERTY keyboard under a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 landscape screen, running Symbian S60 3rd Edition with a full HTML browser and Flash support. It has a 2 MP camera, 3G HSDPA on AT&T's bands, GPS for AT&T Navigator, Bluetooth stereo, an accelerometer, microSD expansion to 8 GB, and a rated 4.7 hours of talk time.
TG Wireless supplies the Surge to collectors and prop departments that want an AT&T-era QWERTY slider, and to exporters serving markets where 3G GSM service is still live; it is not a candidate for US activation.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The Surge 6790 is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it no longer registers on a US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses: export to live GSM/UMTS markets, collectors, props, parts, and Wi-Fi-only use where supported. Both units are AT&T-branded.
Resale fit
