I bought this phone (in black) the year it came out and ...I'm still using it. I just don't want to let it go. Aesthetically speaking, it is the best phone I have ever seen. Small and low-weight (looks almost fake!), simple slightly curved lines, smooooth to the touch and to the whole... un-outdated-able.. after ten years (which is a century in the tech-device world) it still looks like last year's telephone.. This little device is the reason I still don't have a 'smart'phone. I saw a foto I transfered to a new 1920x1280, 10.1' tablet and I was amazed.. I could zoom at least 4x acceptably.. Of course the photograph was taken with very good sunlight.

I'm trying to use this phone again after several years, but it doesn't seem to charge. I want to locate the problem (if its the charger, the battery, the phone, etc). Knowing what is this phone's charging signal (a light that goes on, for example) would help. Any ideas?

teethmaster

I finally found this phone, from a country in Eastern Europe. Unfortunately it doesn't work in USA, both Samsung USA and Samsung Europe are saying if the phone is created for European standards it won't work in USA. I have T-Mobile sim card, when I insert it the phone runs but constantly is searching for network. It's not locked, so I don't need unlocking codes, please don't send me offers for such. Does anyone know how to fix this? Samsung has only one general service dept and it's in Texas. When contacted they say " We do not work on non US devices". Please help!!! I was so happy when I found this phone and simply cannot believe Samsung is making phones for each continent only. What a bummer...

ejrome

got this phone since 2008. still turns on but the batt doesn't seem to charge that well anymore. been trying to find battery for this unit. loved it for its size, camera, and how many textmates i've had with it. lol people used to think it's a toy when i show it to them. also remembered doing text-based web browsing using wap. good times.

where can i buy this phone?

Love the size, the cam, the video, the performance, everything, but unfortunately the charger is badddd!! 7 months after i bought it just died down. Service center said they have to change the motherboard (or is it cpu). It stayed with them for more than a week. After 3 months it is grounded because the charger don't stop charging after it is full! I'm used to my other phones that doesn't have a problem with over charging. I'm sad that this happened.. I hope samsung manufacture smart chargers like nokia or sony ericsson or other brands does!

Sulaiman

its the best set i ever used

danica

me too..it last 5yrs now..

AnonD-58655

got my baaaaiby backk after loooong 5 years..... :D love this set.

Radu

This phone is a relatively small and an easy to use basic phone. The advantage is the low SAR value and size. The disadvantage is that it doesn't keep well in hand. Compared with the Samsung F300, this one has slippery plastic case and it feels like it could easily drop from hand.

Anonymous

Got it in autumn 2007 and still loving it! It is the smallest brick-phone I can find till this day. It's cute'n slim, it gets into any pocket(sometimes even the zippo pocket of jeans) and very comfortable. The minuses discovered after were little - can't set SMS ringtone from mid/mp3, and it holds 4MB for ALL Java apps ALTOGETHER, which is too little for me. Also I can't put jars by wire (can anyone?) which is what i really want in my next phone (i want to make java game). Other than this - 100% good! Of course it's not bullet proof nor fool proor, don't put acetone on buttons or plastic, it can discolor. I want to buy a new battery next. I had replaced usb port in the phone (in the repairshop), but all this happened a year after guarantee went off, and by my fault :P I got upset when I lost the stand thingy, I really loved it! Best phone I ever had! Will buy it again if added newer firmware and java on the wire, with no 4meg limit. I even like the screen 220x220. Touchscreens are cool but this phone really makes me hold it and not get Android.

beware of the limited service error... you wont be able to send text or call... its not with the sim it is with the phone. Samsung does not yet have the cure and it is frustrating..

themortalmedia

I have been using this cellphone for 1 year and four months and I can say this Samsung SGH-E590 was really great! It's camera provides good quality pictures and videos as well. The speaker of this phone was as loud as a portable speaker. Moreover, I can also save my important files here (MS Word, PowerPoint Presentations, Files in Adobe & PDF Format, Photos in Large Sizes etc.) because it has a file viewer feature. Until now my phone is still in very good condition physically. I'm still thinking if I will sell this to someone who really like this phone for me to buy a better one. Congratulations to Samsung Mobile for producing this one-of-a-kind gadget, it's none other than the SGH-E590! Your truly, - themortalmedia =) -

Thats a fantastic phone init!!! Saw a lotta phones..but that was the 1 to pick....looks fantastic but i fancy nice dictionary

jewelsz

Love the size, and weight, and the camera. Have this fon since december 2009. Recently I had it fixed ( since it is still under warranty) because the unit keeps warm or hot even if i turn off the fon. I had to take off the batt becoz it is alarming. The samsung tech said the mother board must be changed. The problem,he said, is due to "over charging". I don't understand it because all the fons i had didn't have that kind of problem. Anyway we're back together again.

Umm

looks a lot like the Siemens c75. n when i saw this set...it reminded me of my old crush on the old siemens. Well..a nice design...n the thing 2 pick when u have the taste 4 exceptional stuffs. The net may be a bit offline with some sims..ummmm... i thought that Samsung makes nice phones...but thats a bug that it may show "limited connectivity " in some cases. got it 2 replace my mp3 player really...a nice secondary phone. for Bangladeshi guys...use GP on that.

E590: LIMITED SERVICE. In addition to my previous post.. Signal is not the problem I am sure, because if I am going to transfer my SIM to other phone, I can accurately send & receive text/calls without any delay. IRATE!! I need to bring back again my phone to technician. Sigh.

DustinReige

I am having problem with my E590,ERROR: LIMITED SERVICE!! I bring it to the technician, I am glad it was fixed during testing. But then I when I use it, too hard to send message and even making calls. I cannot even receive text messages or even incoming calls. I HATE IT!!! I only have this for about 1 year and 8 months.

Small and light yet having everything you need. Cute look, prefect for a girl. Looking for similiar one for wife since she submerged old one and can't really find anything. Try to find nice phone with 3Mpix camera which is under 70g, that's the only one.

I think its an awesome phone. I have had it for about a year now and it i quite like it. The games aren't bad either

Bungalo Bill

This phone is brilliant. The web browser is crap but I downloaded Opera Mini and it runs super fast! I got an N79 to replace it, but I accidently wrecked it in the washing machine so had to come back to the E590. It loads web pages faster than the N79 in some cases!! I am quite astounded. Decent & simple camera. Sturdy. Have had it for 2 years now and it's brilliant.

Pepe

Too good pictures,man :-) Thanks!

I'm having problems with my headset. Whenever I listen to my stored music files through headset, it sounds like having an echo to it. But if I remove it, the songs are played as it is. I've tried through sound settings but it's still the same. Is this about my headset or the settings of my phone? Please advise. Thanks!

mini ME

I am very satisfaid with the phone,and for me the only minus is that its unable to change the sms tone,and the ones that the phone have are week. I dont no for the others but I am able to download mp3 and wav tones. Maybe they have improved, because I bought the phone last year two years since they were first out.

SMAr2wo

And no mp3/wav/poli/mono...(enytning!!) SMS ringtone downloadable..only five "mute" ringtones :|...is a minus for me..

SMAr2wo

There is a way to change the SMS ringtone, but out of that limitation made by the mobile....an mp3....enything??

Billy Ford

Thanks Babylove, but even I change my location same scenario happen. Even I change the sim card. I bring my phone at work still LIMITED SERVICE.

Babylove

To Billy Ford: If your phone displays "Limited service" then you have to move to another place where there is a good signal.. "Limited Service" just warns you that your signal is poor. (^_^)

Anonymous

same with mine, limited service... I thing that problem is with other models of samsung, like E250i, my sister had one and it says LIMITED SERVICE also, and when I brought to Samsung service center they told me that there's no spare part available and even if they repaired it will repeat over and over again... Im afraid now to buy any of samsung phones... I was thou a big fan..

billy ford

My phone cannot receive and send text, the display says LIMITED SERVICE. Any help. Thanks!!!

Samsung E590 is a very handy phone. It is easy to use.. I dropped it for so many times, but its still working.. The camera is okay, but it doesn't have a flash.. You can use songs as its ringtone, but its message alert tone is limited only to 4 installed tones. Its document viewer is fine, though there are some documents whose fonts are too small to see.. Its battery is long lasting. I bought it for P4500 way back March 2009, and you may buy it at a lower price at this time.. Overall, I highly recommend this phone.I love it!

Anonymous

Ive been using this phone since its first release here in the Philippines. Dropped it so many times and the case is so dependable. Its still working fine. However, i am not sure yet.. but my sister told me that all Samsung does the same.. that if you put the phone in your pocket.. the LCD will get damaged... and also sometimes if its in my pocket.. then i check on it.. its off... then i have to turn it back on...

Kairos

I used samsung e590 for at least 5 months now. The problem I encountered with it now, is that, it will not completely boot even how many times I will push the power on. There was a time that it completely boot, but the problem is there is no signal. Kindly help me with this problem. Thanks.

wintermirage

you can change the ringtone of your choice but you need to save the mp3 file to the phone memory. unfortunately, there is a default setting for the message alert tone.

cruel

this e590 is great... very simple yet dependable cute in its black case. read the spec its true

kobe

Im planning to buy either this unit or the LG KP199. they both have the same features actually but KP199 dont have the capability to change its message tone. so my question is, is E590 has the features to change its message tone/ring tone? reply is very much appreciated. thanks

I've had this phone for almost two years now. I've thrown it at the wall, dropped it on concrete, and even dropped it in water. Yet it's still working and in good condition.

watch out for the navigation key! after a year of usage, the navigation key is worn out!!! when i had it checked at the repair service center, they told me that the problem is with the "board" inside. and it is so expensive!!! it would be more practical to buy a new phone rather than having it repaired. BEWARE! DON'T BUY THIS PHONE!!!

Billy Ford

to mike tuga you can actually change font sizes in real time by pressing the volume key on the side, while reading sms.

imtiaz

where did but it from bro?

Mike Tuga

I meant 1 hour straight. Then you can record again infinite times as long as there's memory space. 1 file = 1 hour max so 5 files = 5 hours.

Mike Tuga

It only records 1hour maximum. The sound is very good imHo but I guess any other phone can perform equally in sound matters.

Mike Tuga

You wanted even smaller fonts?! Damn even in the big size they seem extremely small for me to read but hey.. I'm not sure what you mean but fonts can be smaller/bigger when creating sms. Every time you create a new one you'll need to set it again so what you want is not possible (so it seems to me). There's a zoom feature to read sms but it needs to be activated everytime. I think only some nokias can set the overall default fonts to 3 sizes being those: small normal and big. Hope it helps.

I have had all makes of handsets high end and low end, but i have to say this one is the most reliable handy cell ive owned, the design is nice especially in Black, battery seems to be acceptable i use mine for around 2.5 - 3.0 hours daily and the set lasts around 3 days, but i have to stress this is only for talking and not using the other features such as the MP3 and Cam so obvouisly the battery wont last as long. The cam is superb on it offering Macro, ISO, White Balancing also a AutoFocus feature as standard the only thing not offered on the set is a Flash. The video recording is of good quality offering zoom and a clear picture. In box Handset Charger Manuel USB Lead Headphones All in all a very good set for the price buy it.

Winston

I just checked and rechecked and there is no way to save a copy of the text message that I sent. I am wondering if Samsung updated the software on the phone in later revisions as I would like to have a threaded option to see my sent text messages. If Samsung made this a quad band phone I'd go buy two more of them!

roomfulofdrums

Hi guys. To all of you who posted that this phone doesn't save sent messages: It DOES save sent messages. When you send the text message choose 'save and send' instead of 'send'. This two choices are number one and number two in the items that show up when you send a text message. I have had this unit for about five days and I love it. It's loaded for its price and in my case, it came free. It came as a nice surprise because SUN gave two units to me (have two post paid accounts) when I came to pay my bills last week. It seems like they give these out to plan holders who had the plans for two years.

My phone did the same when I bought it. I was experimenting those features like the camera and mp3 player. Now I give a damn for those dispensable features and lasts sometimes for 4 or 5 days with a few calls. Get an mp3 player instead. As for the camera it really can drain a full battery very quickly but hey its' just a mobile not a digicam!

Mike PT

Hello. I have E590 since Feb2009 and there's things I don't need like MP3, browser and java games. Now the things I don't like is the sms text is really too small to read confortable from a distance and the buttons are too small (great for women tho) as well but it fits my pocket very nicely. Oh anyone with "no sent messages" problem? That's a major flaw imo! Sms ringtones limited to 4 and very low sound of these tones. Pros: small and lightweight with a great camera 3MP. Cons: no sent items (shows 0 always) small fonts everywhere; 4 sms ringtones only.

i had this phone just for a few weeks, my bf found this in one of the atm machines while getting some money.. hehe i liked it,the features, everything but unfortunately, the joystick is broken, we had it repaired in greenhills, it worked for just a few weeks and it's broken again. we called samsung and they told us that the cost for repair would be between 2k and 3k. i was like "OMG, then i'd rather buy a new one instead", cos i check this model in wellcom and found out that it only costs 5k... so cheap :D

I already encountered the same problem that you have, the only problem why your e590 shuts down it because of your memory card, you have saved un-supported file to your mem card, try to remove your mem card then turn it on and explore your e590, im sure it will work properly and never shut down again. If you encountered same problem again, I guess you need to go to the nearest Samsung Service Center.

*silken floss*

I have this phone for 6 months now, and there are times when it just suddenly shuts down. Please, help if you have any idea why this happens... Thanks

hi gina

im using now the phone, and i find it so cute! :) the features is so huge for a small fone like this. i love the privacy option that you can assign password to your messages, images, videos, contacts and call logs. in this cutie fone you can capture a clear image because of its high resolution compared to other phone cameras. its very comfy to wear with a lace because its not heavy. for me its okay. i will give it 4 star out of five

i miss my moto q8,, i just sell my motoq8 coz i need a cp with a rugged style, coz im a savvy person, now i bought this phone, suprisingly its powerful, it has everything, nice cam but need to have a flash so if your using it inside your house the picture is not good, but outside with lights is really superb, like the music player like windows player in my motoq8 nice sound, the screen not good so small but its ok, most of the motorola phones has a qvga screen with 320*240 resolutions, most of my phone are motorola this is my first time to used a samsung , browser it says here html but its not compare to moto, well browser is fun, what i hate is the screen is small, but its ok rugged type, what i loved on this phone is its small yet it has everything, what i hate is it has a document viewer but not really good unlike to moto phones, and cant read the sd cards not as fast as my motoq8 or my v3i but ill give 7 rating on this phone, people whos on go should used this, and those whos in broadcasting type of work,, well ive used my motoq8 in a year coz i need it on my school because of its powerful features powered by windows mobile , but in time soon i will loved this phone coz u can txt as fast like a speed boat, but if your fingers are quite big nuh i dont advised hehehe

Go to My Files then Music then Option then Add to Playlist. Select the playlist where you wanna add the songs.

I recently bought this phone, and for a 2-year old phone, it is very good. The display and function is great and if you are looking for a simple-looking phone with a good camera and 2GB memory card support, this one is for you. This phone is already phase out but it can be bought around $90. Very nice.

uRiCz

i really like this phone, 3mp camera(although no flash) interface(although no themes)speaker(not as loud as n73 but works fine)battery is weak so i have to purchase new one with 1200mAh, the battery included is only 800mAh so weak, but the rest is awesome!! and another one the message tone ca only use it's default tones... i wish they would update the firmware (if there is) and allow mp3 to be use as message tone, the other one is the java it ca only be installed through wap or usb, its so hard to do, not like nokia, & sony you can install it by your phone. And it slow down when opening pictures saved on the memory card, so i have to saved it on the phone memory and in the memory card menu you cannot use zoom and edit pics, and cannot change it by list to grid, and the other one is the message sent no automatic save sent items you have to press the sent and save to save it on the sent items., but over all its a perfect phone w/o those cons.

I've got questions. Will you please help me? 1. Can you play music directly from the memory card? Or can you just play 120 songs(4 playlists x 30 songs) on both phone and card memory?? 2. Is my battery normal? It only lasts for 1 and a half days at medium usage! (under 30 minutes of music, low messaging, some snapshots and no calls whatsoever) And the battery info at the screen always displays full battery but after a day and a half it suddenly goes battery low!

Kostas

I bought it in black six months ago. Great GSM (no 3G!) phone, love it on 1st sight, designed by designer (do not remember his name), minimalistic design. Includes everything except 3G connectivity. FM radio is good, photos are GREAT in daylight (3.0 Mp), battery lasts for 3 days with medium usage (1 hours per day), SD slot. Overall it's a great phone. Cons: like many other manufacturers, does not integrate a common charger adaptor (has a samsung one) - If it only had a mini USB...

azer

well. for jaguar. i suggest don't mind much of using an 8 gb sd on that fone, though i say so far that the fone was really excellent, the music player couldn't take as much song an 8 gb sd and it's limited. well perhaps a 2 gb sd could handle some ms documents and 100+ songs.

jaguar

I just bought this phone and have been using it for about a week and a half. So far, I love it. I can't believe how tiny it is, yet includes a 3MP camera. The manual doesn't cover everything and I had to figure out a few things myself, but overall my experience so far is very positive. One burning question: what is the limit on the memory card? Someone said 2GB in other posts, but another user mentioned using an 8GB card!

this phone is CRAP dont buy it, its might not be expensive but it isnt worth the little money that u pay for it. i have taken better pictures with phones that have 2mp than this phone which has 3mp, u can only zoom in on photos that u have taken and that are in the my photos folder and nowhere else! the joystick is terrible mine doesnt wok anymore, well it still works a little bit when a lot of force is aplied to it. the battery life is very short, especially if bluetooth is enabled. the screen is super small. u can not install apps and games by downloading them to ur computer and transfering them to ur phone mini sd card but u have to download games and apps directly to ur phone via GPRS (since it doe not have WIFI) do ur self a favour, save up some more money and buy a better phone!

This phone is ok. The quality of the pictures are remarkable. It's just a bit useless at night because there is no flash. But when the lighting is proper, pictures turn out alright. I find the music player good as well, it's like as if you have a music phone.

dan

Having had the phone for a bit, I see the pros and cons mostly being determined by who is using the phone, not by the phone itself. the problem with these review sites are that you usually don't have the same use patterns as the reviewer, so you don't know who to trust. Here's me: Use: camera, some music, memory card, calendar, sync, texting, mms, email. I found the phone to be great in design with an awesome, compact structure. the screen is big enough and the keypad uses rounded keys so you know which your finger is on. The phone is solid and small. like really small, which does sometimes create a problem when you are trying to type with two hands or fiddle with that horrible clittermouse controller. Pros: signal, screen, FM radio, good MP3 player, Stereo BT, simplicity, camera MPs. Cons: My camera takes crap photos (maybe not every one of these does), stick controller, too many buttons to push to text msg. MP3 player limited to 20 songs per playlist or something. Buttons don't make sense. Bean Bag stand horrible. Proprietary headset and charger, no miniUSB. A new OS upgrade could fix most of these though. Good for people who don't mind not having advanced features and want a slick looking tiny phone with a good camera. check out flickr photos to see the quality.

Anonymous

for samsung e590: you cannot change the preset message tones, you cannot download themes, night camera is ok but macro shots may be not. for mp3, you are allowed to create 4 playlists with only 30 songs per list.so a total of 120 songs in all. When it comes to video, you are limited to 15 min.But overall, it is a good phone.

I just got the phone this week. I'd say overall its nice. Had a little trouble with joystick though cause sometimes it feels a little painful if your going to do a lot of scrolling. I am still wondering if there is a night vision mode. But it is generally easy to figure out. Very petite and stylish looking. For the price i got it, i believe its a bargain. Loving it right now.

JayF

I've had this phone for 3 days now, and all I can say is it is very excellent. I have a question though; is there, in any way, can you install applications/games without ever using WAP? My service provider cannot configure the GPRS settings of my phone, thus I can't install or download apps via WAP. It is so frustrating. And the lack of themes and message tones make it a somewhat boring phone, though. But other than that, it is excellent and feature-rich.

SJp

I mean "joystick"

Is the scroll bearable??

Ugo

This is one of the nicest phones I've ever had. Super simple design, very stylish (we could say "minimalistic"). Decent camera, but the lack of flash was not a good solution. The keypad is one of the best ever, very nice for typing. The material of the finishes is very good, it is very nice to feel the phone on your hands. I strongly recommend this handset.

I have this phone and I like it a lot, but I wish it had the option to automatically save the sent SMS. It does for MMS, so why not SMS? Also, when I send a large SMS, divided into parts, it successively fails and asks to repeat, since it's receiving the credit balance message for each SMS part. This is partially the operator's fault though and never happens when sending free SMS, which I pretty much have for everyone I care.

every time i used the camera or video a message pop-up "memory full delete some data", and when i did, the scenario will be the same. I have a 1gb microSD memory stick, how come it happen? Is my memory stick is already full? or my unit is only using my phone memory not the memory card on storing data? I'll appreciate the help.

hello all, i've bought this phone a few weeks ago; overall i'm quite happy with it - design, size/weight, functions - but i found its reception and income sound to be quite disappointing... i've some questions, (1) is there any chance to avoid going to internet by pressing the joystick button (2) what is the best way or (3) the best audio format to make ringtones and (4) how do i upload them to my phone? regards

i think you should give it back to the shop were you bought it to have it checked...

Hi im from Philippines, I have this phone for two weeks now. I have encountered problem with it. I took a photo and it is automatically saved in my memory card under IMAGES directory. When I tried to view that picture the phone hangs then it will shutdown in about 15-20seconds and the phone will not open unLess you pull back/on its battery then it will power on. My friend has this phone also and I inserted my memory card in his phone and when we try to view the photo it took time to read it but my friends E590 dispays a message that the photo is corrupted and didn't hanged or shut off. The big question is, does my E590 has the problem reading corrupted files that is why it hangs then shutdown? Any comments/help will be much appreciated. Tnx!

i bought this fone 2 days ago, complete package (including 512MB mem card) The only problem i have right now is, when i transferred 72 songs to the mem card using the usb i wasn't able to listen to the songs i've transferred completely. Here's the scenario - after transferring the mp3s i added everthing to the playlist 1-4. Now when i chose playlist 1 and hit the play button, the music started to play but after 1:30 seems like the phone hang and suddenly the music stopped. After that, 1.) the music will stop and repeat itself 2.) the next track will play (and same thing will happen) 3.) the music player will stop (phone will be in idle mode) I've experienced all of these not only on playlist 1... so sad... Can someone help me with my problem? i've read all the comments here trying to find a solution but i didn't find any... NEED HELP ON THIS...

Problems with PC studio not recognising e590? I have no sd card just internal memory. I installed pc studio and started it then I set phone to modem and then connected it with the data cable and voil� it works! PC studio sees it now. What's the fuss about sms ringtones? Get real mates... who cares about that anyway. The shutter sound can be turned off while in camera mode by pressing the MODE button in case you've noticed there's no menu for that. Cheers.

Question: I see in some of the pictures the buttons and joystick are 'rounded squares' whereas in others, the buttons are 'rounded ovals'. Also, some of the joystick doesn't have a white dot on it (black phone). Are there a few different designs for this?

the camera is not good at night it renders the pictures much darker than it displays on the viewfinder (i dont know if its my only the handset we have)i think its because of the iso settings im not sure but besides that its a great phone

bought this recently for its 3megapixel camera. has nice features. expandable memory feature (microSD) for storing music. document viewer is a handy surprise. the phone is very light and compact. bad points: very limited msg alert tones (4!) no profile change (only the current and "silent") no themes my say: great value for a 3 megapixel phone with abundant features

thanks for the info. what is better phone? samsung e590 or j200??? in your opinion.

HzL

from my research.. if you are in the Philippines, this phone costs around 5,300 - 6,000 (probably lower if you find a good deal in Greenhills) mine's free with a phone line. ^_^

HzL

Yup... you can play music while texting. FYI: you can only play playlists. and each playlist only has 30 songs each. ... and the phone can only hold up to 4 playlists. ^_^ It's a minimalist phone. what do you expect. it's not a music phone. ^_^ disclaimer: i don't work for Samsung.. i just happen to own an e590... by choice. ^_^

HzL

Java games are currently only allowed to be transferred through OTA (over the air). This means that you will need to download games through your service provider or through WAP. (another downside for this baby) however, there are workarounds over the internet WAP site where you can upload your JAR and JAD files then download them over to your phone (can't find the link for it.. i'll try to post when i stumble across them again .... i think it's euploader.com/wap/index.php) well... the keys are too small and gaming is a tad too... ummm cumbersome. ^_^ i should know, i love games. and i just traded my nokia 5300 for this baby. ^_^

yes if you want to download it to the internal memory of the phone, you can download the samsung pc studio 3 in the website of samsung to do this But if you want to copy file from pc to sd card you don't need any program, to do this just set the usb setting in the phone setting to mass storage

wala lang

you must convert it first to 3gp using any converter and copy the the file to your memory card by putting the usb setting to mass storage you can find this in the setting.

there are 2 way. 1) copy your file from phone to memory card. then read your memory card on PC using card reader or just change USB conection setting on phone become storage (not modem) and your phone will become a card reader. 2) Install PC studio 3 to your PC to access internal memory of phone. it is free software from samsung website.

Hi, I just got my phone a month ago. It's a great phone for a very low price, but I have one major complaint. Does the battery last only 1 day? Because when I play music - like when I'm working out - the battery drains so quickly, I have to re-charge it every night. When I don't use my phone to play music, the battery lasts 1 1/2 days, which does not make any big difference at all.

Paladin

You can go to your nearest smart wireless center and ask for the configuration and activation.

,., you can see the abroad price in the main page of this phone;just simply point your mouse in the money picture... If you want to know the price in our country... feel free to go and ask in phone shops ,.,

You can download Orbit Download manager and download the flv file from your browser. Then you can convert the saved flv file to mp4 video by using any video converter. I used Any-video-converter - this is freeware you can get from the web, just search. Then place the mp4 file in the video folder of your memory card or directly to your phone. Enjoy!

Go onto Samsungs website and download the pc suite its free then you can start tranfering files from pc to mobile and viceversa

how can we drag music files from pc to phone?does it need an installer?

is there any installer if i would like to download from my pc?

Jolly Ollie

I believe all software discs for samsung are universal this is never been a issue ive had a few samsungs and the original i installed has recognised every samsung handset. In regards to transfering music from PC to phone its never been simplar just do the usual drag and drop into the file of you choice eg, Music files same with videos etc. When you buy your handset if its new it should come with a SD card this phone has quite alot of internal memory i have purchased a 8gb for mine it holds lots of music.

miele_bimbo

At your create new messages before you send it try to click the option instead of the joystick,in the option click save and send.Then view your sentbox afterwards.

Trish

You dont need any CD to copy files... all you need is to have the a micro SD memory card inserted in this phone and set the USB Settings on this phone to Mass Storage. This option is found under Phone Settings.

How about using The Cd-installer of j600 for E590 to start Copying files PC-Phone/memoryCard... Does E590 Recognise other samsung phones(installer/Pc-Suite) I just hope it works...Then I'll Buy this phone With no regrets...Copying music fies from Pc-phone/memoryCard is very important to me than any other Applications. I hope someone could Answer or perhaps Give me additional info on this. Thanks Anyways in Advance.

Ive had this phone for 3 yrs now and its always been a spare. since owning this phone i have had around 15 or so phones most top end Nokia, LG, SE, Motorola etc and nothing comes close to this little beast, the features are superb, size is compact just right for me, camera is the nuts being a 3mp its produces a good quality picture as well as video, This sets price bracket is very affordable as well as a nice keypad for the avid texter. I compared this phone out of curiousity to the likes of Nokias highly boasted 6500 slide handset which is a fairly new set in quite a high price bracket... and the features are exactly the same apart from this set not supporting 3g. The only let down on the E590 for me was that you only have a choice of like 5 message ringtones with no option to use one of your preffered choice ie your favorite tune. Great phone packed with features affordable price bracket my oppinion get it.

The joystick is just fine,no signs of malfunctioning,you can use the other keys instead of using the joystick,for example when you choose some option u can press "2" to select the second option(instead of going 2 times down with ur joystick),same for the menu (for example, pressing "Menu" then "5" u enter the messages)You don't have to use the joystick almost at all. :D

Anonymous3

Hi Nathan,I just did that and when I opened Phone Explorer and went to "File">"Connection",the Connection Manager says "Not Connected" and connection method is selected as USB.My phone is set as a "flash memory drive" so my pc can recognise it as one but nothing happens... This might be becouse E590 doesnt have a PC Studio connection option inside or maybe becouse i have no memory card in the phone,however i transfer files through another mobile phone connected via usb, transferring goes via bluetooth to the e590. E590 is a great phone, I got it 2 weeks ago,I would recomend it to everyone and especially for the new buyers, dont forget to recharge the batery for 8 hours while the phone is off in order to maximize battery life.

if you don't have sdcard/transflash memory, you must install Samsung PC Studio(download from samsung's website), but if you have it you can change phone usb setting from modem to storage mode and then plug the usb cable, your phone will look like flashmemory in your comp (with/o installing pcstudio. :)

i have one and i love it. The picture quality is very good, only downfalls are that the print is very small when typing a message and the other is that there is no flash on the camera but it doesn't matter if you have the right lighting. I am very impressed with mine. I got a bargain, paid �50 for it brand new and i am very happy with it.i have recommended it to my friends.

thehumble1

the card reader is a bit slow, but you can play music just fine, so the only way it slows you down is when you try to scan through pictures saved on the card or perform file operations with them (move, delete, etc). For music it's great. The proprietary ear buds are junk though, so maybe invest in some decent stereo bluetooth headphones.

Hello, rio. I'm just asking, is it really true that the memory card reading ability of this phone is slow? And can you play music saved straight from the memory card? Thanks if you will answer...

Hi guys! got this black beauty(samE590)for a week now and it's really great! It excites me everytime i use it! i like its very small and humble appearance but packed with great capabilities specialy the camera... but in daytime only hehe, ofcourse no flash. However, im here to share some problems with it. If you have a problem of disabled KEYPAD TONE, ADVANCED SHORTCUT, & CALENDAR, try changing your wallpaper to normal and your dialling display to normal. If you're already using normal, try switching to theme and then go back to normal again. I bought my E590 here in the Phillipines that includes stereo headset & USB cable, no memory card. Mine can store only 200 messages in the phone while the review here says that it can store of up to 1000 messages in the phone. Mine can only use one image as a wallpaper or background while the review says it can use two alternating images as a wallpaper or background. Does anybody here has something to say about this? It will be much appreciated...

The greatest thing about this this phone is its cool and simple design. But there are some problematic issues too. The interenet, although the edge and everything, I can get only to my gmail.com page. No way with yahoo.com, unfortunately. And buttons react slow. Like, you push for one function, and the phone then waits and thinks ... and waits. Even with lock/unlock keys option. It was so much faster with my old Siemens A50. And then to send an sms - how many times you have to make different choices to actually get the message sent? Ten? Even with very primitive old models the functions were more convenient and easy to use. I'm even expecting that this phone will start asking me before every turn - "really?", "really, really?", "are you sure?", "why don't you instead think of this?", " really?" ... Gets annoying, but there are problems with all phones, even iPhone which is like best of the show.

i have been using this fon sins lat week...no problem at all..honestly, i haven't encountered the problems being stated hir regarding the transferring of files,cause i bought it without the memory card,iam jz planning to buy a card for it this week...but the fact that jasper morison designed it..waaahhh....crazy great...i am fascinated with the panorama shot..nice camera and video too...i agree that the only problem is that it doesnt allow evry user to customize their sms tone,but its ok still...one more great thing bout this fon is,if u jz stare at its front area,u wouldnt notice the extravagant camera at the back..at first, i thought it was an ordinary old skul fon,but it wasnt...huge camera...so simple yet heavy....immana give my hol vote to samsung for this great gadget...

(+) - a very small phone its a cute sleek phone, i guess made for men (mine's the black one).. if you want to have a "real" pocket-sized phone, this baby's for u.. be sure that u have a lanyard or a handstrap attached to this baby or else u might lose it. - affordable bought this baby for a very reasonable price here in the philippines.. - nice package it comes with a stereo headset, usb, and a "beanbag" (used as a tripod, quite cute lol) no mmc included now lets proceed with the not-so-good side (-) -so-so camera my 2 megapixel p990i captures better photos than this 3.15 megapixel baby.. well, i expected this coz the e590 is just a mid-end phone, the camera is totally useless at night.. but with sufficient lighting this baby wont disappoint u.. -mp3 playlist can only store 30 songs in 4 playlist well, this phone is categorically placed in the camera phones bracket, so this is not recommended for audiophiles.. it has 3d sounds though.. - no themes just like it's predecessors.. same old boring lay-out - brilliant but small screen.. quite understandable.. how would u fit a big screen on such a tiny phone lol, unless they made this a touchscreen phone.. -can't download games via usb/bluetooth yor only option would be over-the-air downloading, and the file must not exceed 3ookb.. not for mobile gamers.. --> all in all im quite satisfied with my noble black e590, if your a person who just needs a handy camphone, without the complexities of other symbian phones, this baby's worth ur money.. ciao! peeps u can add me up [email protected]

NO, you can't choose among your mp3s as your message alert tone. and no, it doesn't have flash functions.

art

the beauty is in the simplicity of the design. feature packed too. bang for the buck! My brother and I have this fone.

zap711

do you think that this cellphone unit will be more functionable than other units? I am interested based on other people say on this forum but i need more concerns if it is a disadvantage or a advantage phone for me. thank you for those who'll reply

I have used O2 for 2 years and have not found a cellphone which could match to the features of that phone - until now...Samsung E590 is worth every cent..all the features are great, it's handy and the camera is just amazing!!!! Just buy it please...you won't be sorry

maricris

does this unit have a flash for camera? u know for taking pictures indoor and during night time.

nik

everythig you need is allready on screen, when you turn camera mode. Read, just pick up your preferable options,press kee for shooting HALF WAY DOWN, and than fully press. you just make your marvelous pictures, because all SAMSUNG PHONE CAMERA was, from SAMSUNG REAL PHOTO division factory!!

arun

very very very nice phone can anyone tell me how to use camera properly ?

nik

just download , or receive via bluetooth, any melodies or , tones, save it to memory card, and than, you could do whatever you want , with , this tune-tone. you can make it message allert.

kana88

my queries are still about the message alert tone, if we could personalize it,.. but the phone is great and i really find it very convenient,,

Mr. D

Hi bethcastle88, Try to change your wall paper into normal. when using snapshot or theme as wall paper, some (useless or potentially causing problem) function disable. for keypad tone, u still can adjust by Volume control.

Erick

Just like the Nokia 6300, the E590 is a great solid package that provides simplicity and very good value given its feature set and unique design. Currently this device can be bought very reasonably in the UK. Highly recommended for those who want a device to make calls, text, take the occasional snap, and listen from time to time to music. This should be ideal to a wide range of users. If Samsung release a successor to this with HSDPA and an HTMP browser this would sell by the truckload.

christine

How wyd i change the message alert tone. i want my chosen mp3 tone wud be my message alert tone then

jermelyn29

were you able to customized the message tone..

vukmatic

yeah u can, u just have to go to settings: usb settings and click on MASS STORAGE, this will make ur phone act as a usb flash drive :)

SJp

can u transfer files without the use of a software cd? coz in my K3 if there is a mem. card i can transfer files without the use of software cd but if there is no mem. card i need to install the software cd... and does this have free usb cord when u buy it?

bethcastle88

I really got attracted to this unit because of the it's simplicity and size. I have the same problem with that of Josh, mine is not only the keypad tone and advanced shortcuts but also the calendar all in the settings menu. I don't know what is the problem. My question is is it better to download the pc studio to transfer files or just use the bluetooth technology. I tried using the latter in transfering files like and image and a music file of david archuleta and it worked. However I would like to try transfering files from pc to phone but somewhat apprehensive to encounter some glitches or problems coz' I'm not a techie person. Any reply would be very much appreciated.

black market analyst

Hi, I'm using this phone now. I saw it last week and I got really attracted to the simple design yet somewhat jam-packed features. And so far, it hasn't brought me down yet. The music player's sound is crisp, and you can even opt for a 3D quality sound by tinkering on the settings. Also, the 3.0 megapixel camera is really something! Of course, I would be happier if it had flash options or something, but it really is no big deal. The bean bag is really cute, and is also functional as a tripod for taking shots wherein YOU should be included. I haven't been using it for that long, though, I'm not sure yet whether the battery is durable, and I'll have to look further into the manual because I can't figure out how to disable the auto-phone lock 'cause it's kinda annoying. A bit helpful, though, for when I put it in my bag, no extra keys will be dialed and stuff.

Mr. D

Hi #12, when u listen mp3 player, massage will alert by Vibration. how ever, this is not music phone. it only have 4 play list and each play list could handle (only) 30 files. (well... i don't want to hear mp3 for more than 2hour, it's not good for my ear. So, it's no problem for me with the play list). I don't know how long (exactly) battery could handle music player. I've been try to watch Movie (mp4) "28 weeks after" (using head set and Bluetooth Off) and no problem. the only problem is the screen size (very hard to read the text). it also handle 3gp file well. camera, bean bag and the design is the best part of this phone (compare with the price). the worse thing is the manual book. many advantage feature of this phone not mentioned in the manual book. you should find it by your self. don't forget to install Opera mini (free) for better internet experience. ........................ dear alexa, I'm sorry not replay your question. I hope you already have the answer.

#12

...Hi jihan, i also would like to know if while listening/playing music through mp3, does the music tune stops? if you'll have an incoming message?? or does it have separate options if you don't wanna be bothered by incoming message tone. Just curious.

Scorpio

I was kind of wondering, if transfering music files From PC to the phone's "MEMORY-card" is easy?? I'm Hoping Jihan can answer my Question.

#12

...you see, I've GOT a lot of mp3-songs stored in my files(PC)...So it's is understandable enough, I'm fond of trnsfering mp3s From PC to phone. I have Walkman phone, But I really got attracted to e590.

#12

Thanks jihan, yeah I agree with you. but, after installing the samsung "PC-studio" does it directly work?? 'cause I was inform by my friends that it's a hassle with a lot of fuss...but i don't want to believe them. I'm more on to your ideas, since you have the unit. Please I guess I really need some additional info on this. Thanks again...You been helpful.

Jihan

Like what long title song is that? I'll try and see if there's any truth in it :) So far long title I have here is Coolio - See You When You Get There. Ohh I think I remember, It's not that you can't play it, It's just that Title and Artist name have limited characters for it to be transferred. You won't be able to go through with it if you aren't gonna edit the number of characters used.

#12

Hi there again JC, I'm confused about the thing you have posted about "smartfile-man"? is that a CD-installer apps.? or merely an application? 'cause there's this thing called CD-PC-suite...so I was thinking how is it differ from SE walkman-"drag & drop" or I mean slightly similar?? Thanks again.

#12

Hi RC, is it really true? if for instance you have a certain track/song & have it entitled with a very long "text" means a problem to the player system? I have nothing against you but, can you clarify it further? You see I do really want this phone.

Jihan

yup, the transfer i said is done thru the use of the usb but you can also send it through bluetooth anywayz but still I prefer usb :D

#12

...just wanted to clarify things. Music transfer applications with the use of USB-2.0...from PC to phone & vice versa.

Jihan

To #12...you download the Samsung PC Studio for SGH-E590 in www.samsung.com to your computer and transfer files from there to your phone. The process goes like this...for instance for music, you transfer songs from pc to phone and you manually (check one by one or click ALL) transfer the files from phone to memory card. Same process goes for other files :)

#12

Yes, i did tried to familiarize its features but sad to say, users can't actually get the chance on knowing in regards to transfering music mp3-files from PC to phone & vice versa. I mean you got to have a unit first so you can actually determine or possibly say it's similar to the "drag & drop" of SE-walkman phones. I'm really into e-590, i'm really fascinated 'bout this phone. Seems perfect to me though, that's why I'm very specific & curious about its music mp3 file transfer apps. PC-phone & vice versa. To me, e590 would be the greatest phone in my opinion...comes with the low price with an impressive features in store. Only thing though, The music transfer apps. remains unfamiliar to me. Anyways, thanks jc & jihad. you've been great. I really appreciate your thoughts on e590. Take care.

Jihan

Another thing...the music speaker is clear :) As for the camera, set the setting to save taken pics directly to your memory card to avoid hassle. Enjoy!!

Jihan

You can play Music from the memory card via My Files but you cannot do other things than that. You can play music files via Applications and do send text messages at the same time, however, music in the Applications are the ones saved in your phone memory and is only limited. As for mine, I have 17 songs in it. You can move or copy music files from phone to your memory card and vice versa..so I don't think I can still complain with that :) Love it!!

Jihan

Yup, it really is something. nice camera :) u can even have macro shot on it. you can resize your pic from 220 x 176 to 2048 x 1536. it has a timer and changeable ISO (100,200,400) =)

RC

One note in putting music: Do not put music files that has very long file name. THe phone cannot support the file and it will not be read.

jc

Well, I haven't yet held this phone in my hands but, i guess only iPods and apple phones are the only ones that need their files to be converted first before it can be played. Since this phone supports MP3, ACC, ACC+, WMA formats, which are almost all of the common formats, it just need to be dragged unto the file folder or mem. card where you want it to be transfered. The speed will depend on the mem. card quality. As for the rumor that it can't play files saved on its memory. I don't know about that. Really hope it's not true. Hope i am helping you with this. You can always try the phone before purchasing it, yeah? so i suggest you try playing files of a memory card, just to try.

#12

...and can someone clarify it further? about the criticisms being point out to e590 that it can't allow users to listen mp3s via memory card?? i refuse to believe it?! guess that's one downside of it, but i it's fine with me though, as long as the music transfer applications is easy.

#12

...'cause i do wanted to get this phone soon. I like the style design of the back-camera...3mega-pixel...hmmm...that's a bonus in some stage to music phone standpoint...now that is something huh?!

#12

Hi jc, since i'm a music dude, i hope you don't mind 'bout my being wanted to ask you if how easy is the music transfer application PC-phone & vice versa??(if you have already installed the cd-installer) i hope it's kind of similar to walkman phones.(just drag & drop) Please if jc couldn't answer my question, could someone tell me? i need to know. Thanks a lot. Your help will be great.

Dany

The file system is the worst and we can not listen to mp3 from card. A big vendor like samsung should work better.

jc

people, you can TRY to install applications by first installing the SmartFileMan application. This phone if I am not mistaken has micro Sd mem. card. Some nokia phones have this type of memory card and you can install in nokia phones, any application just by dragging it in to the memory card from your computer via usb or mem. card reader. first, download smart fileman app to the memory card of ur E590 by inserting the mem. card to a, say, Nokia 6300(it uses micro Sd) and then install the app via usb or mem.card reader. Or much better if there is a Micro sd card available with a smart fileman app already installed. Insert the mem. card into the e590, go to the smart file man app and copy it to the phone memory(drive E:) and install it. You can now install apps that you copied into your mem. card from ur pc by going to the smart fileman app and browsing that app,then install it. This has not yet been tried by me coz I don't have an e590 phone, but i plan to buy one. Just want to help u ppl... :) Good luck, pls post the result if u'd ever try my hypothetical procedures. thx

Anonymous

thanks for the response :) I was hoping I could use this phone for my project, I was planning to create an application in java that will be used to communicate with the pc via bluetooth :( it seems like in all samsung phones you can only install java apps via wap

arnold

I really like this phone because i got attracted to its size and thin profile. But I got turned off when I saw the back. The camera is protruding out and it spoiled all the beauty in it. Imagine putting it on a flat surface to show it off. But unfortunately it's going to be like a swing with a fulcrum underneath. Samsung designers should think many times before releasing products like this. Another drawback is its inability to set MP3 as message tones... Hope they release another variant of this model and perhaps that's the time I will buy

Anonymous

1) It support document viewing (PDF, DOC, XLS), small size (under 1MB) will be nice, larger than that, you have to extra patient waiting your document to open. 2) Just install the PC Suite..... 3) Whatever connections you'll gonna try, this phone will not install the apps. Unless through WAP (typical Samsung Phone).

bisr2k

anyone from the philippines that have tried using this phone? your feedback with regards to bluetooth and its document viewer function will be very much appreciated :) 1) I ask the sales representative of a cellshop here in cebu about the document viewer capability of this phone and they said it doesnt support this function but it is clearly written on samsung's website that it supports this function.. so which is which could it be the reason why they cut the price by half because that function was removed? 2) when connecting the phone via bluetooth what services/ protocol is registered on the pc side? will it appear as a com port? 3) a lot of people here said that one cant install java apps by simply copying the file to the external memory? have someone tried transferring the file to the phone via bluetooth? because it may be just the same with the motorola phones, ive tried this with the l6 model.. i couldnt install a java app via the usb cable but when i transferred the file via bluetooth it worked..

ashura

i guess there's nothing problem with this phone...to zoom u must copy da pic to phone memory...samsung basically use everything from phone memory.so ur microSD only use for keep ur file...not for use it on phone..all type of samsung cannot customize their sms tone...my msin problem,that e590 using a joystik...T_T

I just got this phone yesterday and already I'm thrilled at its subtle looks and cheap price while still packed with tons of features. Got a question though: I've been trying the USB connection.. do I need a SD card for it to function as mass storage? My computer reads the E590 as empty and unaccessible.

macedonian boy

no there is no problem with the phone .try to download samsung ps studio 3 and install it..if you don't want to spend time take a memory card and put it ,select a phone setings like mass storage and that is it..

bought this phone 2 weeks ago. the good: luminous screen, very small, awesome bat life (4 its size) the bad: mediocre camera which also sticks out on the back making the phone thicker, the joystic's ergonomics are not impressive. to sum up: good phone, i prefer it to my previous one (SE w810)

kate

is there anybody out there who knows if this phone has sms counter? want to know how many sms i have sent since sent items arent automatucally saved in the sent items folder and its kinds hassle coz you have to choose save and send instead of sending the sms straight. had it for 2wks and so far that is the only problem i have encountered. aside from the sms tone, you cannot choose from your own files...

Can someone help me with a suggestion? First of all, Walkman and CyberShot are just marketing brands. The "CyberShot" K550 produces lower quality pics than the older K750 (I tested!!) Walkman and CyberShot phones have identical software (easy to demonstrate that), except for the media player and some camera features). I don't like this... X( I wanted a software like SE because I'm familiar with it and it's good (seams more natural than Nokia's in my opinion). I used the advanced search function on gsmarena.com and found only Samsung E590, but it doesn't have nor adapter nor 3.5 mm jack on it. I wanted to but a phone, but just I changed my mind to do nothing yet. So I still have a budget... One option was Samsung E590 and it would have been mine by now if it wasn't for that 3.5 mm detail... ============================= Can anyone help me and give me an idea on what phone to buy? Here are my requirements: -autofocus camera -3.5 mm jack or adapter* (if not in the box, at least to buy) -microSD slot card preferable (far cheaper than Sony cards) -posibility to zoom in on pictures when viewing them -no clamshell, no slider or other sistems -preferably with no joystick -small price tag (here on GSM Arena the price tag is number 3 (100-150 euros)) *I don't want a "music phone" but I want to connect it to my stereo sound sistem (for better quality sound) 1) Nokia 6233 doesn't have autofocus :( but has the rest (except probably the zoom thing).. 2) SE W810 has it all except the card, which is expensive and the 512 Mb included is too small and the extra money for a new 2 Gb card excedes the price tag and my budget :P (and it cand view .txt files) 3) Samsung E590 has everything except the 3.5 mm posibility. But it comes with the bonus of viewing doc, xls, pdf files So if the phone I'm looking for doesn't exist I'll be forced to buy a cheap digital camera + cheap 1-2 Gb SD card + a cheap 1-2 Gb mp3 player (for the presence of the 3.5 mm jack) + a cheap phone (or keep my SE K700) :\ Thank you in advance! I prefer being mailed to [email protected]

Is this phone capable of reading/using Micro SDHC memory cards? I want to add as much memory as I can buy, but I'm not sure about SDHC compatibility. Thanks.

WHY ?

220x220 its big trouble from this phone. is not friendly with some themes, wallpaper,games. SO SAD...

Finally got a hand of this cutie little thing ... a blacky, everythings are great, feel & touch, design, size, camera, memory card , a couple of drawback though, sound is a little laidback and the battery last not even a day of medium use, couldn't complain consider the price only US$125 !!! Even bought another silverish for my sister in law ... bought 2 in a wk !

help

1) Is the joystick reliable? yes 2) Does it have FM Radio? yes 3) Can you minimize at least 1 java app? How about the music player? no to java and yes to the mmusic player 4) Does it have the necessary Bluetooth software for controling the PC (HID - Human Interface Device)? no 5) Can you put a note or some text on the standby screen?only the calendar 6) Can the calculator extract the square root? no 7) Can it play 3D java games and if yes, does it render them well? yes very well

Adrian

I'm going to buy a phone and I have 2 choises: SE W810 and Samsung E590. To make up my mind, I need answers to my 7 + 1 questions already posted, because I know what SE W810 can do, but I don't know much (except what it sais in the manual) about E590. Someone told me to cut the headset's wires and connect them with a 3.5 mm jack *_*

hi i have had this phone for about 7-8 months it is a realy good phone and very realiable mp3 java camera i have had no problems simular to samsung d900 i had a d900 but screen broke so then i bought the e590 good features i love it good phone memory bye

Adrian

oh, and another thing... (besides the 7 questions I already posed just below) Samsung doesn't make 3.5 mm jack adapters, right? But how about if I find for example a Nokia bluetooth device which has a 3.5 mm jack and this phone plays the music on this device (cause I understand that E590 is able to play music over bluetooth). Is this possible??

Adrian

I have questions :) 1) Is the joystick reliable? 2) Does it have FM Radio? 3) Can you minimize at least 1 java app?

Hi Setyo, Too bad your phone doesn't meet your expectation :( Maybe software glitches?

hi, alexa,.. the camera is should be one of its attractive ones, thats y i have have this. n thanks god yours is what I meant, but my phone is.....well maybe AN EXCEPTIONAL.

I don't know but I can't see my 2Gb memory card trough my phone??? Where is the my mistake? For exsample when I take photo I store it to memory card, but after that I can't see it without PC even than I must turn on USB mass storage option? Where is the error, please help! 10x (btw for me camera in Superfine mode and 2048x1536, without shakeing is not so bad)

Alexa

I've tried the camera and it wasn't that bad. I won't compare it to Sony Ericsson K800 or even K750, but I was surprised to see the result, which I think was acceptable. The auto focus made a difference.

DeuxEx

Camera is not so good like I expected... The pictures are low quality. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE FOR 3,15MP CAMERA! Good battery and is better than Nokia 6300...

Setyo Kuntoro

I just bought it yest,.. and very Disappointed. It's says have 3,15 Mpix camera but its blur, not bright enough and the same as quality as cif "the earlier" camera phone,.. very very bad. jus don;t know what to say,.. and again the bluetooth,.. wueifffgh I can't use it for wireless modem, its only for transfer file. its really my mistakes having this phone !

Zika

Sound without earwire is bad!

geeeh!

the only prob. is the lcd! very weak life! i just bought it a month ago, and i noticed that the screen starts to turn dark and blur! thanks to its 1 year warranty and samsung's service center guaranteed me that they will replace o fix it! but for how long? they said that it will depend on the availability of the part!ow geeh!it is still available in the market but they don't have enough stock of its parts! ooooh! what a life without cellphone!

hello again you can silent the shutter sound via the mode button on the side, but, can anyone tell me how to turn off the low battery sound - except for recharging :) and how can i make it ring loud instead of vibrate when it's connected to the pc as mass storage/memory card?

Greg

I bought one of these recently, and find a couple of problems. Can anyone tell me how or where to turn off (make silent) the noisy camera shutter. I cannot find it in 'settings'. Secondly, where is there a safe source of 'drivers', to enable me to transfer photos via USB cable? Cheers.

paijo

i don't know, but the design is very funny and simply. ehmm... i think with the poor price this phone is good. he he he. not to ugly for this phone. i give score 7 to samsung mobile. please don't compare with SE k550i because not same class level phone.

hey! guy any body know . how's the internal and external sound quality of this phone... and how much cost should i pay for it.

Ordered my new E590 (Black) online from www.1shopmobile.com and received it two business days later on 5/9. Just what I was looking for, small yet packed with features like Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, handsfree, 3mp camera and decent talk/standby time. No problem encounted with my 2gb microSD card and Bluetooth easily paired to my SE HCB-105 Car Speakerphone.

Anonymous

gs! I have 2 GB ("Premium") memory card in my phone and have had no problem (in this department) so far. One can also save in those 2GB loads of music and then move songs to the 4 x 30 playlists. And if those 120 pieces of music are not enough, 2GB wont be either. You can change those playlists, all right? don't like one song ..30 songs - change them with some other material from your memory card! OK?! * * * * * on something completely different - I'm still not done with my "headphone problem". The original do not fit me and I have not discovered the way to buy a substitute. I wish I could get those - but it seems that they are very rare and sold only from the offcial samsung store, only in the uk. Is that so, or is there some way get them elsewhere too? To make things even more difficult - in their uk online store they have different number for the same product. May be other headphone models also fit for e590? Any thoughts?

gs

Hello again, thank you all for advices. I got the phone yesterday (the e590, of course - it's about 120 USD in my cowntry) and i's amazing - it's so small and packed with functions! I do dislike these tho things: the fact that plugged in headphones get in the way of volume keys and the fact that musicplayer accepts only 4 playlists x 30 songs each or something like that - is there a workaround that? And does it support 2gb microSD? The seller said that he only recommends 1gb for e590.

HEY MOBILE LOVERS..anyone knowing how to install a dictionary viewer on E590?...or is there any way i can do it..or is there any dictionary software available[even if I have to buy it]?..SERIOUS SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

gio

Mr.D., Thanx a million for your advice! It works + now I've improved my opinion about the phone! I already thought it to be hopless but here you go! People who write telephone manuals were not obliged to mention this option, of course. Why should they? Hope you will solve the issue with the picture quality. Black and whites are really great. Especially close-ups and pictures with contrasting dark and bright areas. Look good both ways - printed and on the computer screen. Good luck, gio

Mr. D

Thanks gio on my phone, those pictures size are same. but on display (both on PC) it seem like black area (usually at black line cross or very close black line) on the file from ext. memory having larger area. well i'll contact samsung service center for this. to move MMS picture to PC, 1st open the MMS massage. then stop it(or waiting untill stop). after that open option menu, then choose no."6 attached file". it will display all attach file (picture, sound o video file). choose the file, then on option menu choose "save in my file" then choose "save in--> memory card". then transfer the file from memory card to PC. actually on"PC studio" have MMS management fitur, but it not work for E590. Thanks.

gio

Mr.D. I did as you said - First, downloaded an image directly from the phone memory to the computer; then, the same image first moved from the phone memory to the memory card (2GB microSD premium; paid for it equivalent of 8.00 pounds) and then to the computer both pictures in the computer are identical in size! I moved them to the computer via bluetooth, btw. Hope this helps. May be you know whether it is possible to move received MMS pictures from e590 via bluetooth (or some other way) to the computer ( or first to the picture folder and then to the copm.) Do you? Somehow I have not discovered how to do it. Cheers, gio

Mr. D

*gio* please help me to try to: take picture with high resolution (save on int. memory), then transfer/copy to PC. then transfer the file from int. memory to ext.memory, then transfer this file from ext. memory to pc. please compare it both picture on PC. if you find no problem, it's mean i must contact samsung service center to repair my phone or to my memory card maker. thank you.

gio

e590 has no problem with moving picture files form the phone memory to the memory card or a computer. If picture quality is judged by its size as measured in KB - that number remains the same. I checked. What some users might find problematic is the fact that the phone has no regular socket to connect your headset other then the original or another "Samsung" made headset. Actually I think there is only one extra model that fits that socket - so called "in ear headset". So if somebody wants to choose from all the variety of headsets and then connect it to the e590, there will be some extra job to be done. Another thing - I even don't know what is in the "PC studio" since I have an Apple computer and as far as I understand there is no way to land "the studio" on an Apple. Well, this is something unbelievably stupid. I expect that with SE phones there comes computer support for both - pc and macs.

Mr. D

E590 could viewing excel, word, powerpoint, and pdf file, k550 can't (as far as i know)even quality not same as PC and max file size is about 2.9MB. 'some' E590 user complaint about camera quality result, MANY k550 user complaint about it and say that this camera not proper with Cybershoot tittle. k550 having better colour management, but e590 has better resolution. it's not about battery problem on samsung, but it is the power management chip. sony has much better , but samsung also having improve their product. don't forget to turn off your phone and charge about 6-7 hour when first time you buy the phone (any model)to maximizing batt. performance. k550 using conventional Sonyerricson design, but e590 has extremely different design than other samsung phone. k550 having faster processor and WAP software than E590. e590 didn't bundle the driver CD, so to open the phone memory you need to download samsung pc studio.(but this software include massage management that sonyerricson not have) e590 is slim, so for gaming k550 is better (controller). k550 has IR connecton, e590 no (for spect comparation just open the Official website) on e590 no need to turn off phone when insert or release the external memory card. e590 has quality problem when transfering picture from int.memory into ext. memory. k550 better. e590 using micro SD, it's low prize than M-stick pro 2. e590 has bean bag, e590 using mp4 format for video, many free converter software for it. (i still not find free converter software for 3gp files). both of these phone has plus value. choose it due to what you need (it's just my opinion).

gio

E590 has an external speaker! The phone's size is small and I consider it to be an advantage. If you want a modified "play station" then it would be just reasonable to choose different model with larger screen.

Anonymous

@gs K550 still better than e590.cause: - all samsung phone is low bat. life - no multitasking in e590. - no ext.speaker in e590. - no flash lamp in e590. - 220x220 screen res. Not easy to download games.(i means in this screen res. format).

Hi i can't decide weather to buy this lovely cell or the se550 wich i also like. Can anyone help me in terms of battery life, sound trough the headset, nav. key and video quality? is the e590 better

Anonymous

This is just a basic mobile, poor file manager, poor ring tone quality, also poor pictures taken by E590.... actually this can used as spare mobile only.

gio

The screen is normal and keys function well. These are not the aspects in e590 one should complain about. I am also very fond of it minimalistic design which I think is cool. But there are problems too. Mainly in the camera department. Though you can make beautiful black and white photos - sharp, great contrast, you can also play with it manually changing some settings, ISO number for instance. But the quality of color pictures really disappoints - the phone camera can not register blue, but turns it into purple which is closer to red then blue. So whenever there is blue sky you camera gets it purple. But yellow-brown colors in pictures have very visible green. In both cases (with blue and yellow-brown) distortion is strong. I am really disappointed about these shortages. Since Samsung is making also digital cameras I thought that in this area the results had to be better. Better then they are and better then with cell phone cameras of their competitors. But I am glad about b&w pictures. Before I bought the camera I knew I will be making them a lot. What I did not know that I will be pushed to make them, since color pictures look really awful.

this model is fantastic one.

Dear user of e590, 1- can you explain me if is it possible to install any java application with trick? 2- is it possible to read a .pdf or .doc documents? I know that is not possible to edit this kind of documents :( please, email me :))

Anonymous

the display is torture to my eyes! it has very small viewing angle, unless u stare at the screen directly, u can't make out the picture..the 3mp is very disappointing, and even if it is good, u will, by no means, enjoy it on such a display..the keypad response is also slow, typing message sucks..and it is just too expensive, I don't care which gaywad designed it, its just not worth the bread..I returned it a day after I bought it..talk about impulse buying

gio

*Simon* May be you also have discovered how to make this cellphone to remember camera settings? E.g., I want pictures to be saved directly after the shooting. It is possible if I make this preference before a session. But when I leave the camera mode and then come back again - these settings are gone. What to do?

Dani

This Phone reminds me of SE W890i.... seems like SE have copied it...same featurs to! dayum.

Simon

Ok thats great. thanks- will get myself a card and see if its any good! thanks a lot

Mr. D

the format for movei is MP4, i used V-gen 1Gb micro SD for my phone, but when i save the Photo or move the photo from phone memory into this memory card, the picture resolution become smaller (if check/ preview on PC, the result is very bad). SO BECAREFULL, for video & music is no problem (yet). You will need to download "samsung PC studio" to transfer file from the phone memory (phone USB setting as modem.

Simon

To turn shutter sound off- press the camera button to go into camera mode, then when the camera screen comes up, press the mode button on the side of the camera, and choose settings for the camera. you can turn all sounds off and on in there. took me ages to find it too!!! if i buy a micro sd card for this phone- can i play movies on it??? what format will they need to be in???

Hi, Please, what is the indication in all those phone descriptions that you can 1) transfer mp3 from a computer and then 2) use those music files as ringtones? I am a bit confused because there are all those offers in magazines to by music and ringtones for phones. I mean, who who buy them if you can get the for free from your pc?! 3) Does E590 have this option: computer MP3 files>>cellphone>>ringtone Thank you.

Forgot to mention, for those who do care about SAR levels (like me), the level of this phone is only 0.44 W/10gr and considering Nokia's and SE's mostly reach above 1.0, this is quite an achievement.

David Sedlar

A truly delightful phone, has all the features the modern phone should have, but yet manages to stay light, compact and visually stunning. It's quite an attraction, even with it's minimalistic design.

when is a designer celfone not a designer celfone? when its been designed by the acclaimed jasper morrison design studios like the samsung e590,a perfect fusion of form and function! 3mp camera,mp3 and mp4 with fm radio,bluetooth connectivity with expandable memory and 90mb internal memory. this one is for the fashionistas on fashion week!

V-Force

a cool and collected celfone,the samsung e590. except for the fiddly joystick and the inability to really customize the message alerts and average battery life. 3mp camera,mp3 and mp4 with fm radio,90mb internal and upto 1gb upgradeable external memories,bluetooth connectivity,handy size yet sturdy,make up for its short comings. two thumbs up for this pint sized powerhouse!

Delta-V

the samsung e590 is a great celfone in the practicality department. small and compact coupled with sturdiness. 3mp camera is just fine especially when its a samsung known for their great audio/video/tv appliances. mp3 and mp4 capabilities with bluetooth compliments its large 90mb internal and upto 1gb external memories. the cool fm radio is the icing in this true mini marvel of a celfone.

zhy

People! 3mpx doesnt say anything about camera's quality! It's just saying about the size of the pictures. And who has asked, "why Nokia n93i with 3.15mpx ir so big phone" i can answer. Try to compare pictures made with Nokia n93 and samsung e590.. I just got this samsung. it's really small, the display isn't perfect, keyboard is small, and need to get used with this size.

Samsung E590 or SE W810... Good question. I own a SE K700 and joystick malfunctioned after just 10 months and I had a Sendo clamshell before which died! So I have a fobia for joysticks, clamshells, sliders etc. I'd choose W810 for that reason + it's SE software (which is just about the same as K700-K750 and its perfect 4 me). If it didn't have a joystick I'd buy the E590 for its camera and document viewer.

Battery life is good- around 3 to 4 days, average texting, minimal multimedia use. Sad to say, upon using heavy multimedia (radio, MP3 in loud speakers), bat life drops down to a day. But overall, I really love this phone. Nice camera quality in daylight, sucks in night time (doesn't have a flash), but you can adjust the ISO settings though. Like the mosaic feature.. cool way to take pics.

yui

can anyone tell me how long does the battery holds?

This phone is very strong, the first one in Mobile word.We want more like this.

I got this phone as a giht recently Honestly it is ome of the phones that i least love... I'm a night person and i usually take pictures at night...so for me the camera isnt worth two cents ohh... yea... and i hate the fact that i gotta transfer the files througj the memory card to be able to get them outta there Bye and have fun... I think that the n80 is a lot more cooler and practical Bye bye

This is a very good cheap phone..with wonderfull featuresCan be compared with SOny Ericson K800i..Can record conversations without hearing a beep sound to other party..Can record Mp4 Good Quality Video Clips...some unique samsung features are also there.Disadvantages are u cant create folders in the phone memory and memory card.U cant use any thing stored in the mempory card as contact photo or the ringtone.first u have to move them in to the phone memory.low stantby time.Cant have a full screen images or Vidoe playback.

No one want this phone here in Thailand, now dirt cheap 4300 bahts, that is 90 euros ! If it had a flash, it would have been a great success because it is a great phone ! So Samsung study the needs of your customers before making your phone....

So far I like this phone. It's small enough to easily fit in the coin pocket of my jeans. I wish it had voice dialing so I could use the feature with the Bluetooth in my car. I wish the clock display had more options like where to place it, or turn it off. The review here is wrong on a couple points: 1)All the contacts stored on the phone and SIM card are shown in the contact list so if you don't want your SIM contacts displayed, you need to delete them. 2)You CAN use custom ringtones from any audio files loaded on the phone.

As stated before, I had trouble locating the apostrophe when not using predictive texting. Found it... it's buried deep in the symbols once the right soft key was pressed. Since when was an apostrophe a 'special symbol'? Surely it should be right there with the full stop and the comma? Weird, and dissapointing. Otherwise... it's a cool phone.

I switched to this phone after four weeks of Samsung's U300 because that phone's keypad was just too difficult to get used to! BUT... the samsung E590 is one nifty little phone! It fits in my pocket or bag super easily and is so light! The buttons are a little small, but I like my accessories that way, so that's good. The camera function is fantastic and really functions like a digital camera. It's user-friendly in that way, and has more than enough options for a snap-and-save person like me. The sound is good, although I wish that it allowed me to use my Music files for the calender reminders and SMS messages. Anyone know how to do this? :) While the joystick control takes a little getting used to (I keep selecting accidentally, instead of scrolling) it is, like all the keys, really touch-friendly. I don't know about the slow speeds of reading from a separate card as I haven't needed the extra space. 90MB is more than enough! In fact, my wallpaper images alone (about 25 of them) only take up a mere MB! Small grouses I have about the E590 are: 1. Can't use own music or sounds for calendar or Text Messages 2. Can't name playlists 3. Can't view video in full-screen 4. Slightly fiddly little joystick But overall, this is one really neat phone. I thoroughly recommend it. :)

some answer for the "open" questions below. screen is small but good. it is sms friendly. i still do it blind ;-) i miss the flash. furthermore a small thing during sms/mms. T9 give sometimes a wrong word and if you want to change it later you have delete it and type the right word again. With my previous E870 you could change the word by standing behind it and use the change button. but that's all. i like this phone a lot. i bought it for 170 eeuro NIB.

Had this phone for a week now.Cost me under �100 from carphone - P.A.Y.G Virgin (cheapest!)Best of all it is unlocked to any network and no branding.Using my Orange sim in it.For the price Iam really pleased with it.It has a great camera,3.2 megapixel with Auto focus.(Works better than the latest S.E.T650i ive had)I like my music and ive got to admit,its louder and clearer,(even at full volume) than more expensive phones.Works great with my A2DP Motorola bluetooth headphones with adjustable equalizer settings on the phone.Had no problems with freezing screen or shutting down.Had no problems with stored pictures or music files running 'slow'I think this must have been fixed when the phone went out on sale.Got to say,for the money,you are getting a lot of toys on this phone that work and easily puts some more upmarket phones to shame.Its a real dark horse that delivers!

MC Hammered

All of the specs that are listed on GSM Arena are accurate. I am in Canada had my friend buy the phone in Hong Kong for about $200USD. My daily phone is a Treo 650 and I use the E590 for when I go out and on weekends. It is the perfect size and weight to put in your pocket and not weigh you down. I have on a few occasions put it in my back pocket, forgot it was there and sat on it without snapping the phone in half. I think with a slimmer phone like the U100 it would have broken. The camera takes great pics in the daytime once you figure out how to set the camera. Night time pics are a bit harder to take.

Samsung E590 review

hana

is this true?? slow memory card reading??? is it very very slow?? how is it the owners? help me.. give your opinion. from GSMarena's review>> The only downside we found is the really slow reading speed from the memory card. Listing thumbnails of the pictures stored in the respective folder on the memory card seemed to take ages (no matter whether it's almost full or almost empty). We've never seen a Samsung handset read a memory card so slowly, so our best guess is that it may be some unit-specific problem with our handset or with our memory card.

EnWui

i've just bought this phone for Rp.1.950.000,- it's about $200 in US Dollar, the package without any microSD :) wot is different from gsmarena's review is the fact of this phone using openwave's browser and not a netfront, also the sms inbox is 200 and not 1000 as mentions, the rest you can figure out from gsmarena.com's review :)

Just got this phone for testing purposes, and the first thing that comes to my mind is "The perfect phone for a girl". It is small and is easily usable (no Ultra unsensative keys here - big plus), and it has all the basic features of a moder phone - a 3mpix camera, mp3 player and radio and of course the option to make calls and send SMS. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of flash. Even the battery is better than in most phones. Conclusion - it really is a great phone for girls :D

The Christian

Argh! Now something annoying: unlike Sony Ericsson's phones, this one can install Java apps only through WAP. Placing a jar and a jad file in it's memory from a PC (using Bluetooth or USB) doesn't work, you won't be able to run either of the files. I couldn't download a 433 KB application just because it "exceeds the maximum size". Now this fills me with anger because it's otherwise a good phone and would be nice to have more java freedom...

harold

Just bought one. fabulous for those that just want a phone and don't mind a good camera built in. Very small but not micro. Shorter then the Nokia 6300 and weighs less. Good screen (220x220) and bunch of games thrown in (I bought unlocked). Battery seems quite good. Takes microSD. Has radio and MP3 player. Camera is bonus, 3MP auto-focus. At the top end of camera phones. No 3G and not quad band, only tri-band. Has EDGE. Best phone I have had for years. Lovely easy to use user interface.

You can't use custom tones for incoming messages and my phone has just 4 preset sounds. Doesn't bother me much because my T610 was around the same. The display measures 3,2 by 3,2 cm (10,24 cm^2) and is dense, compared to old 128x128 phones, but I think it's not as dense as bar 240x320 phones (i don't have any to compare). Lacking a stereo jack is a handicap for the MP3 Player, limiting you to using only special headphones. The stock headphones don't sound as loud as I'd like for some songs at maximum volume. Videos can be recorded at up to CIF (352x288) but there is a visible skipping (I don't know what the FPS is, but it should be around 10-15 fps at this resolution).

I have this phone and am pretty content with it. About the posts before mine - yes, it can vibrate and ring at the same time regardless of the type of ringtone. It isn't the default option so you'll have to select it from the Settings menu. The camera doesn't have optical zoom (and how could it in such a tiny phone). The MP3 player doesn't read ID3 tags and doesn't sound very well with the bundled headphones... I guess I've become addicted to my desktop headphones...

My Black E590 arrived yesterday. I purchased from Plemix and it cost approx �134 inc delivery (Importing into the UK). So far I am very happy with the phone. I've been playing around with all functionality and there isn't anything so far that it won't do for me. The handset is great to hold, and the buttons very easy to use. I've not played around with the camera much as i'm waiting for a 2GB Micro SD card to turn up in the post, but I can already see it's a vast improvement over the N80 I had before.... and twice as light!! If you've got any specific questions about the handset please feel free to ask. Overall I am very impressed and glad I waited out since March to get one!!

It's very nice small phone with new technology compatibility, but what about weight, battery life, and how many fields have phone book for address?

JOSIE

Paul

the samsung i710 u600 & u100 is already in stores and what about e590 I thank it is a damy.

Ryan

I couldnt believe that, It has FM radio tuner.It is too small.I thing this is just show off.

MNA

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as if this puppy also uses softkeys :/ Samsung used to be everything about style & feeling. It seems as if production cost has to much impact on design I don't like this trend a bit...

Rydon

I think this phone is not going to be release.

Paul

Samsung E590 DOES NOT have Manual?And can be used 2G microSD (TransFlash)

With a flash and a dedicated loud speaker it would have been perfect for me

Hey Zach, please read his comment, he wants one WITHOUT the camera.....

zach

Hei B.Uyer! Please read the specification first before make any comment! This mobile phone has 3 mpx camera with autofocus! Nice candy bar shape! Similar to Sony Ericsson W series. Can't wait to buy it.

B.Uyer

PLEASE Samsung, release a version of this model WITHOUT the camera!!!! The design and measurements are wonderful, and without the camera this would finally be a successor worth the name to my old Ericsson T66. Myself and almost all of my friends are completely uninterested in camera-phones, and there are so few advanced or tiny phones today with Bluetooth and speakerphone, but WITHOUT camera, besides the VK2000-series, which unfortunatly has a low call/sound-quality and connection/reception, but a miniature-phone with Samsung-quality, that would really be something!! And while you're at it, a flip-up, with the exact same measurements and weight like the wonderful tiny SGH-A800, an external greyscale-display, internal antenna and WITHOUT a camera, would also be highly appreciated!! More miniature-phones without camera, and i will finally start to open my wallet again, after years of big clumsy boring camera-phones!!

Some more photo's for you courtesy of AVING I will definatley be getting this on release in the UK. Perfect replacement for my 6210.

Paul

Why not, internal memory ?

Bo

Cooooooooooool!!!!

bokie

there's nothing special about how it looks; so very Sony Ericsson...

King Kong

Great phone, but so sorry it has no flash !

larry

the website needs time to get the right infomation so please do not say bad about them they need to confirm the info b4 they even post it up... so if its blank... its not tested

larry

from the quality of the phone... im sure that this phone has MP3 at least a simple version of a player^^

Anonymous

it says it has A2DP (can use wireless headphones via bluethooth) so i guess it does has mp3 player

goog king

So does this phone have mp3 or not??? If not, i wont be interested. BTW for those people who don't like cameras on their phones please acknowledge that the vast majority of us do. That is why most of the marketing buzz is based on camera accessories as it is more profitable. There are plenty of cheap budget versions without cameras for u to choose from, so to each his own thanks. Get over it.

This is a camera phone,which is designed by Jasper Morrison who is very famous in industrial design.

I want this baby baaad...! Oh samsung.. why do you have to release such good looking phones all the time?? I can never keep something until you produce yet another piece of sweet goodness ...oh such a sad world we're living in ;)

How come the specs say 'no camera' and there is a 3.0 megapixel camera on the back of the phone in the photo??

To GSMArena.com

I know that Samsung is not the best mobile brand, BUT GSMARENA, please be accurate with them!!! First - p110, F700, f520 - all they are smartphones - if I look at the specs provided by GSMArena, they aren't. Second - e590 have 3,2 MP CAMERA!! Why CAMERA = NO?!!! Third - z720 sill dont have battery life time? Why?

m3th4don

it does have a camera...3mpix with autofocus ..

No camera? No mp3? What is the card slot for? Something wrong in information...

c.mon people..be serious..why do u need a camera on u'r phone....it's not as good as a digital camera, it's just a cheap imitation of one maybea a couple of years ago it was cool to have a digi-cam phone ... but now ...
