 Bad feature on Juke for music lover. August 23, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
In term of music appreciation, sound is bad as a typical problem for any tiny portable music player. If you are looking for quality, it is not the one. Song UI is terrible. Ipod has Ipod library where you can edit song info etc. In Juke, there is no room for edit. Whatever default info, you have to live with it. For example, there is 40 artists and 50 albums. How easy is it to find a song? It is not sleek design. As a matter of fact, It is just so annoying and messy UI. This is still in a prototype stage in my opinion. Only option you can do it so add song in play list. Just image 2Gb of song and you try to add one by one. Ater using it for couple days, I throw away the celll phone and go back to my Razor cell and Ipod. My susgestion is no, no and NO.
 Second Only to the iPhone for Audiophiles July 22, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you're a music lover, the Juke is for you. Granted, it only has 2 GB storage, so if you want more, the iPhone is the best thing for you. On a similar vein, if you use iTunes it would be a good idea to buy an Apple products - it took me hours and hours to get past Apple's copy protection used in iTunes (I had to burn CDs of my music, then import them as MP3s...). One final issue before I shower my praise upon this miracle of a machine: The headphone jack is not the standard MP3 player size (3.5mm) - it's a smaller size meant for phone headsets (2.5mm). Thankfully, a 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter is cheap. But these are really the only drawbacks I can think of for this phone. I can't complain. Everything else on the phone is straightforward and intuitive. The Juke is a minimalist's dream; so simple, yet so powerful.
The impetus for my purchase of a new phone was the need for bluetooth support. California law required that I have a hands-free headset, and so I set out looking for a phone to work with that. I didn't have restrictions on the phone carrier because my contract had conveniently and coincidentally just ended. This phone is everything the average cell phone user needs and, at the risk of being redundant, even more to the audiophile.
The built in camera is nice - 640x480 pixels is relatively good for a phone's camera. I've used it a bit and definitely appreciate the ability to take pictures at a larger resolution than the small screen itself!
I've never had a problem with reception, sounding too quiet or any such problem with communication itself. Actually, texting is a bit slow compared to a phone with a built-in keyboard, but I only use texts sparingly anyhow.
It's a nice phone - I highly recommend it to the average audiophile. However, if you need to text or store a freakishly large amount of music, maybe this isn't your phone.
Totally awesome!! June 24, 2008

This outlasts anything!!
Call me a bad phone caretaker, but I *washed* my juke. In the washing machine. At first, I panicked because the battery started draining while it was turned off, and also the speaker broke (as in, you couldn't talk into the phone without sounding really fuzzy). I found two solutions--- take the battery out and use the headphones for speaking.
Not like I needed to, because after a couple weeks it was completely fixed! I'm not sure how, but it works as good as new now!
Also, with only 2 GB it can hold 400 songs, which makes it just as good as any other iPod, and anyone who knows iPods knows that they are *extremely* sensitive to water damage... not this phone/MP3 player =]
Simply the best cell phone I have ever owned. May 9, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have to say I agree with all of these other reviews because the Samsung Juke from Verizon is simply the best cell phone I have ever owned in my life I love everything about it the crisp bright screen and display the camera is actually pretty good for a VGA camera and the phone is tiny and perfect to fit into your pocket the ringtones sound nice and loud when played and flip your phone closed to play music either from speakerphone or with nice headphones it comes with the menus look new and nice and texting is actually not a pain on this phone despite the size Verizon actually does something I like finally you get to preview ringtones and wallpapers before you buy them its a miracle no more buying ringtones without knowing which part of the song it is and if its like 10 seconds and you can look at the wallpapers before you buy them overall I am very satisfied with this phone and would definatly 100% reccomend it to anybody
Fun, Good-Looking, and Functional! January 14, 2008

I received this phone for Christmas. It is my first-ever cellphone, so obviously I was very excited about it. Surprisingly, this phone is very small. I know that looking at the commercials it seems quite large, but it is actually about the size (length-wise) as the spacebar on a keyboard. Flipping open the phone in a switchblade-like fashion, you see a very simple but artistic display. By clicking the center button, you are given a list of six simple options: Music (about 1.8 GB which can easily be synched using Windows Movie Maker), Get It Now (ringtones, games), Messaging (txt, pix messages), Contacts, Recent Calls, and Settings&Tools. The options, when highlighted, show well-designed graphics relating to the item (ex. CD and music note for Music).
Honestly, before I continue rambling on, this is a great phone. Just take my word for it and buy it, and you won't regret it. Having to turn it upside-down to open is not a nuisance; it becomes second-nature.
Advice:
- Listen to the pre-set ringtones before buying any from the shop for $3. This phone actually comes with some cool techno/hip-hop beats.
- Purchase the phone shell from Verizon Wireless. Believe me, with a phone this nice-looking, you won't want to get it scratched.
- Don't purchase any games other than Tetris, Pac-Man, or other simple arcade games. The screen and keypad are too small for more sophisticated games.
- If you want to listen to music using a standard pair of headphones, you will need to buy a 2.5mm-3.5mm headphone adapter. I got this one: Headphone Adapter for Samsung SCH-A890, and it works like a charm.
