Samsung and leading industrial designer Jasper Morrison teamed up to create the attractive candy bar-style Samsung E590, one of the smallest and most compact phones currently available on the market. The dual-faced handset of the Samsung E590 weighs a mere 66g. Where one side of phone has keypad and LCD display, the opposite side has the camera with fanatical functions. Although the relatively small 1.9″ TFT display with a resolution of 210 x 210 pixels it is not a groundbreaking resolution. The legibility under direct sunlight is alright, but definitely Nokia has better display feature. For all the photograph freaks the phone has the powerful 3.2 MP camera. And yes it comes packed with functions like Auto-focus, half-shutte, and a panorama shot feature. Yes you will not regret not taking your camera along in the next European tour if you have E590. The Samsung E590 measures 94 x 42 x 13.5 millimetres and is available in two colours, noble black and snow silver. The design of E590 was entrusted to the Jasper Morrison studio, renowned for the clean shapes and simplicity of their designs. So no doubt that the phone is not like the usual plastic in your face designs which are in trend.
Although the phone is not as slim as the Samsung U100, which stands at no more than 5.9 mm but its compact enough to carry unnoticeably in the jeans or shirt pocket. The user friendly camera phone, yes it can be called cameraphone, is a standard tri-band GSM handset. It reasonable calls clarity, with strong volume and the loud and clear hands-free speakerphone adds to its features. It can be easily switched on during a phone call by pressing the joystick when on a call. The attractive key pad with its unique shape of the keys is stylish and new. The central correction (C) is right under the navigation joystick, pushing the middle column of alpha-numeric keys down. The top part of the handset is bare and the bottom only has the microphone pinhole making it look sleek and smart.
The left side of the handset features a volume rocker, which is again large and rounded. Then left side of the handset also features the microSD memory card slot and the universal port for connecting the charger, the headset, or the data cable. Like any other camera phone the right side of the handset features only the camera-specific keys including the camera mode key, the capture key, and a rocker key that is used for zooming in and out. The phone sports only digital zooming, which one hardly uses, as it produces only crops of the real image. The camera mode key switches between still camera and camcorder. Like the half shutter mode available in camera shutter keys of Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot handsets E590 also has - a halfway press for focusing and exposure locking, followed by a full press which actually takes the picture. Like any other camera phone the backside is flat with only its lens sticking out. The lens is protected by the by the protecting glass but you have nothing to prevent the protective glass from stains. However, the absence of the flash will disappoint some people. One more thing that can disappoint few users is its slow memory-card reading. But the handset has microSD memory card slot which is available in the retail package (512MB or 1GB varying by market). The battery, which will give you good four days moderate use, is also not disappointing. It is cited at 300 hours of standby time and 4 hours of talk time. It also offers standard POP3 and IMAP4 email access, SMS and MMS messaging with T9 predictive text input,. It also offers polyphonic and MP3 ring tones and a voice recorder. PIM features are plentiful, with alarm, calendar, memo, world clock, calculator, converter, timer and stopwatch all present.
