What the Critics Are Saying...

Well we've reached the end of this review. It was a gratifying experience and we even got to like the shy and reserved looks of this device. It's compact, it's really well equipped and it has a nice camera. The E590 is out of the usual run and stands out of the Samsung crowd. It's not a high-end pro...
