    This phone looks pretty awesome. I like having a good phone with prepaid–I went for too long with a wack phone that I really didn’t like.

    Great review. Thanks for posting such an in depth impression. I’ve handled one in the store, but your review covered alot of ground that I couldn’t with such a limited amount of time. Based on my in-store experience and your review I think I’ll be waiting for a future generation to arrive. The potential is certainly there for this device, but based on my current portfolio of tech devices (laptop, desktop, iPhone, iTouch) I’m not sure this device quite justifies the expense at this time for me.

  6. Arthur Brand says:

    How much is the plan cost for this phone?

  7. Semmy says:

    This phone look cool but i think I like the nokia e71 better.

  8. [...] Straight Talk is a prepaid company with two different prepaid plans.  One is the unlimited plan and the other one is for 1,000 minutes a month and 1,000 text messages a month.  So you have a couple of good options to choose from.  There are three free phones available on StraightTalk.com right now (and they will be free for at least the rest of the month or so or until supplies last).  The phones are the Samsung t401G, LG 220C, and LG 290.  The best one of these phones is probably the Samsung t401G.  These three phones are available with this deal only from the official website.  Read about the Nokia E71 Straight Talk phone, one of the newest additions to the lineup.

    Thanks for sharing. I just bookmarked your site for future reference when I’m going to go phone shopping.

  10. Gerald Freiser says:

    How much time can you browse the web for on the 6790? Does straight talk have any limits on how long you can browse before cutting you off?

  11. Frances Pasquel says:

    This is a cool phone. I got the Samsung r355c already though, so it’s too late for me!

  12. Lori Ahlbrecht says:

    Great looking prepaid phone!

  13. Rolanda Sanots says:

    Where do you buy this nokia phone and how much does the straight talk plan cost?

  14. Mac says:

    The Nokia 6790 and the Nokia E71 look like really great phones. I’m surprised they’re available on prepaid plans. I am stuck with a blackberry at the moment, but will think about this phone when I have to make a decision on getting a new phone very shortly.

  15. Chris says:

    Mac – I agree, both phones are good prepaid phone options. I had a blackberry at one point, which I really liked, but I am now more persuaded to buy prepaid phones. thanks for your comment.

  16. Chris says:

    Rolanda – You can buy the Nokia 6790 online at StraightTalk.com. That’s where you can find the best deal on all ST phones. Plus you get free shipping and there are other various offers going on at any time at the site. I’d buy it there.

  17. Isabel Babitsch says:

    Does this phone have threaded conversations like the iPhone? What do you think? I’m picky when it comes to things like this and I know that sometimes prepaid phones are cheaper so they don’t have all the goodies that other cell phones do have. I hope straight talk and metro pcs have these things.

  18. sandy says:

    What are the top straight talk touch screen phones? Is the nokia 6790 one of them or is it the only one? I would like to buy a phone that has a touch screen and works on a prepaid plan since I don’t want to sign a contract.

  19. Beau says:

    I was considering either the Nokia E71 or the Samsung R355 from Straight Talk, but I think I really like the 6790 phone. It has an interesting look to it and I like that it slides. Does this phone work with either straight talk plan?

  20. Leonard says:

    That looks like a really cool phone at a great price!

  21. Chris says:

    Beau – The Nokia 6790 (at this point in time) only works with the Unlimited Straight Talk plan that costs $45 per month. But this is most likely the plan you would want with this phone since it grants you unlimited web access, talk time, texting, and 411.

  22. Colton Schnieders says:

    Awesome awesome phone. Love the look and the functions. I also love the price of straight talk.

  23. free txt says:

    Incredible looking phone and I love the unlimited plan. Great great great.

  24. Wally says:

    I really want this phone. Does it cost $30 every month?

  25. Chris says:

    Wally – You need to get the unlimited plan with the Nokia 6790 from Straight Talk. It will cost you $45 per month for unlimited everything.

  26. Hailey says:

    nokia 6790 is maybe the best prepaid phone ever! It has a great look and style and I like how it is easy to type and send messages. definitely like this phone.

  27. Kristy says:

    I’m going to buy the Samsung r355c phone with unlimited plan. It looks like it will suit all my needs, except I’m wondering if the web browsing will be any good. I don’t use the web that much with my phone, but straight talk seems to give unlimited use so now I might have to start using it more. Is the screen of the 355c too small for web browsing or will it give me what I need?

  28. Reynaldo Eva says:

    Cool phone. Is it still available for sale on the website?

  29. Graham Deitsch says:

    This phone used to be called the AT&T Surge and now it’s a prepaid phone? Cool.

  30. arnold says:

    Thank you for the excellent information provided on this site. I love reading phone news.

  31. Tim says:

    all i have to say is i love straight talk but im a little curiouse about some of the phones not working in my area….i have yet to find a zip code that the website says any of the smart phones or 3g phones work in….i have checked most major cities….i do love straight talk tho…cant beat the price…and the phones are suprisingly solid

  32. Patricia Lilly says:

    I was considering this nokia smart phone as a potential replacement for my previous tmobile blackberry prepaid phone, but then I started looking at the Nokia e71 for Straight Talk and that really caught my eye. I thought about it, but then for some reason instead I bought the samsung r355c phone, which was a little less expensive at the deal I got it at a few months back. Still, I really like the straight talk service. It beats out tmobile and boost mobile by far.

  33. Elaine Adam says:

    I like your short reviews here. I will keep coming back for more news and when I need a new phone it will be useful.

  34. Ester Ornelaz says:

    This is a really grate phone–I love the nice better quality phones on prepaid plans now. It makes good sense to me.

  35. Duke says:

    I love the Straight Talk samsung r355c–it’s a dope phone and I save a ton of money when I use it. No contract is super cool too. Any new phones coming out soon?

  36. Alberta says:

    Is the nokia e71 still available? I don’t see it on the official website. I wonder why. there are some on Amazon but not for straight talk. looking for it…

  37. Dot says:

    This is a really cool phone. I like the fact that you can browse the web with it.

  38. Carmen Voss says:

    Are the Nokia 6790 or E71 still available with this prepaid plan?

  39. Cordell Mansanares says:

    I’m a fan of the 6790 Nokia Straight Talk smart phone but I couldn’t buy it online because it wasn’t listed on the website. What’s the deal with that?

  40. Averyg says:

    This is a really good phone. I recommend it.

  41. Mary says:

    The straight talk smartphones are not that expensive and they don’t come with a contract, which I like. The unlimited plan is a good one too, so it seems like a good match for me.

  42. Tyler M. says:

    The Nokia 6790 is back online at StraightTalk.com. I have been waiting for this phone. I have the r355c right now by samsung, but this phone is the one I really wanted. Unfortunately, it was unavailable two months ago, so now I’m gonna give my current phone to my brother and get the 6790 with the unlimited plan I think.

  43. jenny l. says:

    Nokia 6790 wasn’t my first choice of straight talk phone. I wanted the samsung finesse, but it was discontinued. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up liking this phone. Web browsing is sometimes slow, but the price is right and I get the unlimited plan.

  44. Carlos says:

    Really great phone–perfect for web browsing.

  45. Andy Gentry says:

    Does the Nokia 6790 allow you to browse the web unlimited? Does it have unlimited calls and texts too on Straight Talk?

  46. Chris says:

    The Nokia 6790 does come with the unlimited Straight Talk plan, which costs $45 per month. In fact, it’s the only plan the phone works with.

  47. John White says:

    I bought the Nokia 6790 when it first was released on straight talk’s site after seeing a commercial for it. Needless to say, I’ve been very happy with it and have been using it for about a year. Now that I see it is re-released, I have recommended it to a couple people already.

  48. Anna P. says:

    Which phone is better? Nokia 6790 or E71? I’m trying to decide…

  49. Carpenter101 says:

    I went with the nokia e71 because i didn’t want the slide out and it’s been a good choice for me. i manage two email accounts from the phone and hit the web whenever i need directions and maps or i use the voice guided gps which is a cool function i wasn’t expecting to be included with the phone. 45 dollar unlimited plan helps me too but sometimes i wonder if i need the unlimited or maybe just the 30 dollar plan would be good for me. but it’s really not that much of a difference in price and i know you have to use the unlimited straigth talk polan with this phone.

  50. Ramona says:

    I just bought a straight talk phone four months ago, but now I want to get a nicer one. I actually got the free lg 220g phone, but now I want to give it to my brother and get the Nokia E71. I’m sure he won’t mind. This phone looks pretty nice too. How is email use on the nokia 6790?
