Samsung E590 review: Simple on purpose

 

Designwise, the Samsung E590 is stunningly different from pretty much everything you would expect in a modern mobile phone. Yet, its armory includes a high-quality TFT display and a decent 3 megapixel camera. Plus, it's delightfully minimalist and...

3 megapixel autofocus camera with a half-shutter key ; Tri-band GSM/GRPS/EDGE support ; Square 1.8" 262K color TFT display with 220x220 pixels resolution ; Stereo Bluetooth (A2DP) ; FM radio ; MS Office documents viewer ; microSD memory card slot ;...

Slow memory-card reading ; No TV out functionality ; Slow document viewer ; Java applications can be installed only through WAP ; Only preset message ringtones

Clean-cut and low-key, the Samsung E590 invokes mixed feelings and is definitely not an eye-catcher. We are all used to shiny plastic and metal in fashionable handsets produced under various brands. The Samsung E950 is nothing like it; in fact it's...

Samsung SGH-E590 Review

 

What we are reviewing is the tiny Samsung SGH-E590, designed by Jasper Morrison. It offers plenty of features in a small and well looking device with an affordable price.

Samsung E590

 

A great choice if you want an easy-to-use phone that you can barely feel in your pocket.

Teeny -- but still practical -- size, 3-megapixel camera with lots of features, Very easy to use, no fussing around

No flash or light on camera, Lovers of flashy gadgets need not apply

Samsung SGH-E590 Review

 

Another mid-level Samsung handset makes its way on the market and by means of its technical features it appears that it addresses a specific target segment � camera phone fans. Strictly following its new market strategy, the Korean company continues to...

The first thing you notice before taking the E590 phone in your hand is its small sizes and stylish design. Jasper Morrison's touch breathes from all the phone's "pores" and makes you wonder how come that simplicity can be so beautiful. Apart from its...

Actually the only negative points of the phone are software related. The very basic web browser that has been integrated ruins the Internet experience. Also the possibility of installing Java applications only through WAP (Internet connection) looks...

Samsung E590

 

Weighing a mere 66g, the candybar-style Samsung E590 is one of the smallest and most compact phones currently available on the market. It's a basic-to...

Small, Compact and Lightweight, Solid features list, 3 megapixel camera with autofocus, Excellent user interface

Plain design, Small display, Navigation Joystick a little short

The E590 is without doubt one of the most compact and lightweight handsets currently available on the market. But its plain, matte plastic design means you'll either love it, or hate it.

Samsung's teeny tiny E590 packs a whole lot of features into a fuss-free candy bar model.
