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.

You can play music files from your memory card. I own this phone and I've been doing that for the longest time now.

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...

Hi guys, i just got this phone 2 days ago. Ive used several phones since grade school (i had 20+ phones already, lol) and here's my review for this handy gem.

(+)
- 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 dgpoke@yahoo.com
