The Christian,
Hi mate!
Could you tell us if the sms tones can be "whatever we want" (like mp3s...) or does Samsung continue to allow only those awful fixed sounds?
I personally don't like bar-type phones, but this seems like a nice one, and it is only €199 carrier free. :)

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...

Hi cosmic..you mentioned you had an N80 before this phone. I have an N80 and am looking to change. You're absolutely right, the phone, though great is pretty heavy and bulky. Must be a big change! What are your other thoughts regarding a comparison between the two? would appreciate some ideas..thanks

Guys, i'm quite interested to buy this handset.
i saw it yesterday and got impressed.
Unfortunately i did not have the time to test it,so i would like to ask the owners of this phone if they can use mp3 tones for ringing calls or messages.
Plz reply....

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!!

I just got my hands on the phone yesterday (didn't buy it). It's really small, compared to my current Motorola SLVR, which I really like. Didn't see it working, since the girl at the shop just opened the first box for me to see - and touch. It's very light too, albeit without the battery installed, though. Costs €230 in Greece.
