      #12, 09 Oct 2008Hi jc, since i'm a music dude, i hope you don't mind 'bout ... moreTo #12...you download the Samsung PC Studio for SGH-E590 in www.samsung.com to your computer and transfer files from there to your phone. The process goes like this...for instance for music, you transfer songs from pc to phone and you manually (check one by one or click ALL) transfer the files from phone to memory card. Same process goes for other files :)

        Yes, i did tried to familiarize its features but sad to say, users can't actually get the chance on knowing in regards to transfering music mp3-files from PC to phone & vice versa. I mean you got to have a unit first so you can actually determine or possibly say it's similar to the "drag & drop" of SE-walkman phones. I'm really into e-590, i'm really fascinated 'bout this phone. Seems perfect to me though, that's why I'm very specific & curious about its music mp3 file transfer apps. PC-phone & vice versa. To me, e590 would be the greatest phone in my opinion...comes with the low price with an impressive features in store. Only thing though, The music transfer apps. remains unfamiliar to me. Anyways, thanks jc & jihad. you've been great. I really appreciate your thoughts on e590. Take care.

          Another thing...the music speaker is clear :) As for the camera, set the setting to save taken pics directly to your memory card to avoid hassle. Enjoy!!

            #12, 09 Oct 2008...and can someone clarify it further? about the criticisms... moreYou can play Music from the memory card via My Files but you cannot do other things than that. You can play music files via Applications and do send text messages at the same time, however, music in the Applications are the ones saved in your phone memory and is only limited. As for mine, I have 17 songs in it. You can move or copy music files from phone to your memory card and vice versa..so I don't think I can still complain with that :) Love it!!

                One note in putting music:
                Do not put music files that has very long file name. THe phone cannot support the file and it will not be read.

                  #12, 09 Oct 2008Hi jc, since i'm a music dude, i hope you don't mind 'bout ... moreWell, I haven't yet held this phone in my hands but, i guess only iPods and apple phones are the only ones that need their files to be converted first before it can be played.

                  Since this phone supports MP3, ACC, ACC+, WMA formats, which are almost all of the common formats, it just need to be dragged unto the file folder or mem. card where you want it to be transfered.

                  The speed will depend on the mem. card quality.

                  As for the rumor that it can't play files saved on its memory. I don't know about that. Really hope it's not true. Hope i am helping you with this.

                  You can always try the phone before purchasing it, yeah? so i suggest you try playing files of a memory card, just to try.

                    ...and can someone clarify it further? about the criticisms being point out to e590 that it can't allow users to listen mp3s via memory card?? i refuse to believe it?! guess that's one downside of it, but i it's fine with me though, as long as the music transfer applications is easy.

Thanks a lot. Your help will be great.

                          The file system is the worst and we can not listen to mp3 from card. A big vendor like samsung should work better.

                            people, you can TRY to install applications by first installing the SmartFileMan application. This phone if I am not mistaken has micro Sd mem. card. Some nokia phones have this type of memory card and you can install in nokia phones, any application just by dragging it in to the memory card from your computer via usb or mem. card reader.

                            first, download smart fileman app to the memory card of ur E590 by inserting the mem. card to a, say, Nokia 6300(it uses micro Sd) and then install the app via usb or mem.card reader. Or much better if there is a Micro sd card available with a smart fileman app already installed.

                            Insert the mem. card into the e590, go to the smart file man app and copy it to the phone memory(drive E:) and install it.

                            You can now install apps that you copied into your mem. card from ur pc by going to the smart fileman app and browsing that app,then install it.

                            This has not yet been tried by me coz I don't have an e590 phone, but i plan to buy one. Just want to help u ppl... :)

                            Good luck, pls post the result if u'd ever try my hypothetical procedures. thx

                                I really like this phone because i got attracted to its size and thin profile. But I got turned off when I saw the back. The camera is protruding out and it spoiled all the beauty in it. Imagine putting it on a flat surface to show it off. But unfortunately it's going to be like a swing with a fulcrum underneath. Samsung designers should think many times before releasing products like this. Another drawback is its inability to set MP3 as message tones... Hope they release another variant of this model and perhaps that's the time I will buy

                                  3) Whatever connections you'll gonna try, this phone will not install the apps. Unless through WAP (typical Samsung Phone).

                                    anyone from the philippines that have tried using this phone? your feedback with regards to bluetooth and its document viewer function will be very much appreciated :)
                                    1) I ask the sales representative of a cellshop here in cebu about the document viewer capability of this phone and they said it doesnt support this function but it is clearly written on samsung's website that it supports this function.. so which is which could it be the reason why they cut the price by half because that function was removed?
                                    2) when connecting the phone via bluetooth what services/ protocol is registered on the pc side? will it appear as a com port?
                                    3) a lot of people here said that one cant install java apps by simply copying the file to the external memory? have someone tried transferring the file to the phone via bluetooth? because it may be just the same with the motorola phones, ive tried this with the l6 model.. i couldnt install a java app via the usb cable but when i transferred the file via bluetooth it worked..

Got a question though: I've been trying the USB connection.. do I need a SD card for it to function as mass storage? My computer reads the E590 as empty and unaccessible.
