Beauty and Utility in One
A sleekly modular handset features a clean dual-sided bar form with superior 3.0 Megapixel camera functions and multi-format music player plus FM radio. Exquisitely realized, yet extraordinarily useable – beauty and utility in one.
E590 comes bundled with an extended set of accessories including a Bagpod that enables the handset to be fixed on almost any surface. The holder is designed similarly to a piece of plastic matter plugged into the handset via an interface slot. That’s one of the first attempts at bundling a camera phone with a tripod. By the way, the Ukrainian version of E590 isn’t bundled with this accessory resulting in a lower price.
The overall handset design is rather typical, being somewhat close to the D900 but in the candy bar form factor - an answer of sorts to the Sony Ericsson K790i. The model is based on the Suwon hardware platform (developed by Sysol research center) and is equipped with a 3.0 Mpix camera, making a difference between it and the recent U600. A fine bundling, a familiar set of features and an eye candy design multiplied by a clever marketing strategy can end up in a bestseller phone.
Samsung’s E590 design is the result of the cooperation between the Korean company and Jasper Morrison, a leading industrial designer. Through this partnership with Jasper Morrison, well known for his talents in various areas of industrial design, the E590 is designed to touch customers. While there is no resemblance with the slim U100 model, I can definitely say that this time Samsung worked hard on the height and width of the phone. The measures of the phone 94 x 42 x 13.5 mm make it one of the smallest phones on the market. So, it’s not about slimness after all. Moreover, with only 65 grams (including battery) weight, the handset is almost “imperceptible” in your pocket. The bar form factor decisively contributes to the exquisite design of the phone and recommends the phone to both sexes: white color for women and black color for men.
