Samsung C3590 - User Reviews

  • Last feature phone I had, sadly did not like it much...

  • Released 2013, October? I must be experiencing the Mandela Effect, as I remember this phone being released 2014, August NOT 2013, October.

  • Solid phone, especially for elderly. The big issue is that it supports large microsd cards, even 32GB claimed here, but OS puts a hard cap on number of files, 3000 it says and no more. Used up 1.5GB of the 8GB card but cannot take any more photos - will have to remove them from card so that granny can take new ones. A shame

  • Samsung should have released this MUCH earlier.

  • Phone you mobiles network provider tell them they give you unlocking pin

  • My grandmother use it three years and I think she will use it at least another three.Strong mobile.

  • Do the messages appear as a conversation or individual messages? thanks

  • anyone pls tell me from whr i can get this duel sim flip phone...m from goa

  • This phone sounds very cool I will ask for it for Christmas

  • this phone looks really cool

  • İ have this phone is awesome very nice i can download games and other think is awesome. But how can do download games in memory card not to phone memory please

  • Use a data cable which you connect to your computer and just use it a normal hard drive if you have a memory card in it.

  • Can someone please tell me how to unlock my phone, I stupidly was playing around and thought I would put in a pass/pin no and now can't remember what I've done or the password! And it's locked the phone

  • how can I enlarge incoming image on my screen please? I can hardly see the image when someone phones me

  • i have samsung gt-c3590 and pc. how can i transfer the photos from the menthioned mobitel to pc. i have windovs 7 with google. should i have an aditional software ?

  • Can somone plz tell me how to lock this phone??

  • Too bulky, seniors and no-seniors need thinner , more compact flip phones, an external 1´ display is mandatory.The E2530 was ideal size, but with more quality, 1-week battery and Samsung has a winner.

  • Hello some samsung phones won't allow you to play ringtones stored on the memory card without transferring them to the main phone memory which can be a problem if there isn't room.Does this phone suffer from that problem? Also if you have reminders do they ring when the time comes? Many thanks Karl.

  • I too have a GT-C3590, and find I am unable to transfer photographs to my P.C.

  • GT C3595. Any idea how to move/copy contacts list to an android Samsung Xcover 3 ?

  • To change the setting where the phone answers a call when you open the flip screen, go to Menu / Settings / Calls / All calls / Answering mode: active flip and change it to None. Worked for me!

  • The thing about voicemail is that it works if your phone is off. So surely it's provided by the mobile service provider, not by the phone itself, so I suggest you could ask them. Hope that helps.

  • yeap, me the same :( did you fix it? How?

  • yeap, me the same :(

  • Can you record a personal voicemail message on the Samsung C3590? I want my callers to know they have reached me! If it is possible, how do you do it? TIA

  • When i flip the phone up it answer the call automaticly ... How can i change that i need to know how call me first then answer...thanks

  • Does this phone have speed dial?

  • I am told by the shop that my wife bought the phone from, that there is no internet facility on the phone. Despite all the icons on the phone... Is there a way to connect to my router (which is better for us). On my smartphone, all I have to do is enter the password.

  • I can't transfer music from my pc.

  • Does this phone vibrate when it ring when in normal mode?

  • Simple - it is a clamshell or flip phone. You just close the case and keyboard protected so no need for "locking the keyboard".

  • I cannot transfer my photos to my pc

  • How can I lock the keyboard?

  • I cannot get my contacts imported from my C3590 to the Bluetooth in my car. Can anyone help? Thanks.

  • Can somebody tell me how to configurate gmail correctly on that phone that it should work quite good? Still to say theres no encription for both servers (like SSL & STARTTLS/TLS). Please tell me this step by step and Ill be thankfull to you.

  • hello all, there is this click sound when i open the phone(unfold) and i dont know how to turn it off - any idea?

  • I can't find how to switch answering system on or off. It simply does not receive unanswered calls to answering system?

  • In applications, bluetooth

  • How do I find Bluetooth on this phone?

  • I wish companies like nokia could make models such as 6320i again

  • I wish it only had a external display and it would be a great phone.

  • for Capital letters to small letters, just press the touch * for 2 secondes...

  • Hi fellows, I have the Samsung GT-C3590. I have a Problem by changing from Capital letters to small letters.Can anybody give me advise please.Thank you very much.

  • Like the simplicity and the large key pad, but I don't like having to download this Kies program just so I can transfer photos from phone to my computer

  • can you confirm that you can transfer photographs using cable from micro USB port on phone, I have the GT-C3590 .. to USB on PC

  • Does it have bluetooth?

  • music can play in background?

  • like

  • do this phone give option before call or text that call from sim 1 or sim 2 ??

  • you can tansfer phone book by blutooth

  • connect it to a pc with a usb cable..

  • My phone has just started to say sim memory full after only 10 incoming texts. Where do I change settings so i can have more incoming text before having to delete them like it was last week.

  • Music can play in background? 'cause i want listening music while I'm Texting. please answer. thanks.

  • how do I connect to computer to download photographs

  • Hi there haven't been on this phone that long. I quite like . These phones.the only thing I'm not clued on is the . fancy about, is don't understand all the rules and other different strange symbols.ending up sim rejections. As another user commented all phones don't give manuals like they used to the best one was Nokia . It's the first time I've got u r tablet Galaxy tab 4.see what happens.

  • Can I connect this phone to the computer and transfer my contacts to it ? how many contact can it save? can I move the contacts to the SD card? also about the battery life, how many hours can last ? thanks,

  • Tesco

  • this model is so..plastic !

  • awesome!!!!!!!!!!! i love this phone!!

  • this ph.is avilable at this

  • can any body help me as i need to know if that phone can read the contacts which are save on google like Android phones or not ?

  • I downloaded this one about 6 months ago:

  • why is this model sold with no instruction manual,i cannot work out how to send a text,and I am unable to download a manual

  • this model is pretty nice..but isn´t it a bit too big the hand..?

  • Does it support whatsapp and android apps ?

  • The internal memory is so small; just 5 Mb !!!

  • للأس&­;#1601; الذا&­;#1603;رة الدا&­;#1582;لية للجه&­;#1575;ز صغير&­;#1577; للغا&­;#1610;ة unfortunately the internal memory is so small this is the worst disadvantage of that mobile

  • I need an answer about very basic feature of this phone. When I have a missed call, could the phone notify me periodically for that. A beep or a short vibrating alert? Thanks in advance :)

  • Does it support whatsapp?

  • I Can't make any song as a ringtone it keeps telling me that the song will be copied to from memory to phone then there is no space on phone What should I do?

  • I never had a "smart phone ", this feels good !

  • you`ll find a wrench icon at the left on top of the screen, press it and modify your screen icons as you wish .

  • My chosen photo on the wallpaper screen saver is covered by a cloud and sun and shortcuts how can I remove them.

  • I saw one in cyberzone area at sm cebu yesterday,unfortunately i don't know the price.

  • Is this available in the Philippines? If it is, please let me know which particular samsung store I can get it from? Thanks

  • The 3G version (C3595) has a very bad battery life. You're lucky to get 2 days out of not much use of the phone using the 800 mAh battery. I had to switch mint to 2G to get any decent usage out of the phone. Samsung should have provided a more powerful battery for the 3G version of the phone.

  • This is NOT an old phone. The release date is October 2013! The sad part is that it is not available in many places except Africa, Russia, Pakistan and a couple of other countries.

  • Hi I had to get the phone from Russia as it is not available in the middle east. Great handset specially useful if you are into sports and have two numbers. Though it is not 3G, it does a commendable job with email. Highly recommend it. Sad that Samsung thinks that there is no market for this in the Middle East.

  • Have not seen 3G one about.

  • hello good samsung.please release it in Iran.thanks

  • Replaced unreliable Nokias as the basic phone for Technophobes.

  • Need more ringtones to choose from but can't find any

  • Old but awesome phone i adore it and i will never leave it love it

  • Horse Year!

  • Quite ahead of its time i must say...Probably these are signs of the world coming to an end

  • is the phone available in Bangladesh.

  • what year is it??

  • is the phone available in Malaysia.

  • can we put threaded view with flip phones?

  • Are you sure about? Was it already available in indonesia?

  • Yes, Lazada.co.id just sells it right now, go for it! :)

  • hsdpa

  • dear samsung,please release it in indonesia.

  • Manufacturers don´t get the point, there´s big demand for flip phones, simply call/text/battery+ , but the offer of flips for the past 4 yrs´s only been awfully cheap built and buggy devices, people get discouraged.

  • Will it be released in Malaysia?

  • Definitely agreed with you bro. Just like the old times but with better built and quality, no touch screen, bigger memory. i would love to buy it as well..currently using flip phone for my primary number

  • 2 models get the one with 3G HDSPA, i think.

  • This product has been sold in Indonesia or not?

  • Flips have a huge fanbase, manufacturers should make quality flip phones to just talk and send text

  • definitely. motorola razr forever

  • If Samsung can make this phones, then surely Motorola can resurrect the original V3 RAZR? Please Motorola!

  • Anyone knows when will this be available in the philippines?

  • when is this avilable in asia? please answer me.

  • if the phone isnt a smart phone how's it suppose to connect to the web at a reasonable speed... unless obviously you dont mind waiting an hour to load google :)

  • Why do you need an FM Radio when you can download a digital one from the app store that doesnt have a mediocre connection due to not using the headphones as an antenna...

  • this phone has something my s4 lacks- fm radio.

  • oo

  • when is this h/s going to be available in india?????

  • is it available in asia?

  • It can play divx/xvid vidoeos, and supports FLAC too. Not every featurephone can do that.

  • i think this type of unit is not an android.

  • Clamshell form factor was always a perfect style. Good to see again.

  • Samsung, never again

  • 1Ghz 1GB Ram MicroSD WP8 5MP rear, 1MP front Wifi 3g USD 100 will be a great option in the market android cant run in low spec handsets

  • can i use whatsapp in this handset

  • Will this handset be available in Asia specifically in the Philippines? Please answer to those who know. Thank you.

  • touch wzzzzz is there :P

  • Yes i want to throw it, and it's crappy battery. Bring me back to the good old simple days of messaging, ok it must have Facebook, i like Facebook and Samsung plz fix that on non-smart phones. . I have a computer, for other stuff.

  • ohhhh 3G too, noicee i miss my old flippy. what countries i hope all.

  • //Cons// No external display. Internal Display @ 2.4inch could be bigger. Bit too thick @ 17.3 mm - the Samsung J630 was 12.9 mm. No WLAN //Pros// 3.5mm Headphone Jack Dual Sim Summary: It's nice to see this type of phone again. However, this is a budget phone but I think there is a market for a flip phone with higher specs. Also, I think it would sell better if it had better specs.

  • hope that this phone will be available in Philippines..

  • Great if Samsung will send this to the market. I will buy this phone to replace my C3520. Sometimes feeling bored with touchscreen. The Alarm feature will not ring if the smartphone turned off. I'm always using C3520 for alarm feature.

  • Flip phones and sliders have their own style and fun..... They should be revived... This one is nice n cheap

  • I'm really bored with touch screen phones and full qwerty, aren't you all? i like this simple phone.
