Tips on efficient operation
Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with
any other radio transmitting device, do
touch the antenna unnecessarily when the
phone is switched on.
Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed.
When you avoid touching the antenna area during a
call, you optimize the antenna performance and the
talktime of your phone.

Dynamic memory use
Some features in your Nokia 6590i phone, including Calendar notes, Todo list, WAP cache, WAP bookmarks, and WAP security cache and
certificates use a common pool of memory (storage capacity) called
dynamic memory. When any of these features are used, there is less
available memory for other features which are also dependent on dynamic
memory. This is especially true with heavy use.
For example, entering 250 calendar notes, saving multiple WAP bookmarks
and entering several items in your To-do list may consume most of the
available dynamic memory. Consequently, if you attempt to download a
WAP bookmark into your phone, a message saying
To proceed, you would need to delete some of the items/information
occupying the available dynamic memory.
