Mobile phone is no longer a luxury but an everyday necessity. We have now I think nearly 2 billion or more mobile phone connections in the world and this number is increasing everyday. Yes, mobile phone is affordable to most people in the world but there are many people who want fashionable mobile phone sets. Samsung is addressing this market in a great way with its SGH-E590 cell phone set.

This mobile phone set has been designed by Jasper Morrison. You can find an entry about Jasper Morrison in Wikipedia. This alone indicates that he is a famous designer. If you look at the picture of SGH-E590 then I am sure that you will become impressed with its design. It’s simple but elegant. There is hardly anything in the backside but the front side is stylish. Anyway, very few of us actually bother to look at the backside of a mobile phone carefully. More than everything, I liked the color. SGH-E590 is a cell phone set that will stand in a crowd.
