Samsung E590 - user opinions and reviews

Samsung

...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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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!!

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!!

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.

> In reply to #12 @ 2008-10-09 10:10 from vxeGWell, 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.

...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.

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