Samsung Juke Review
Music player featuring phone
The Juke has clearly been designed for the under-20 demographic, looking for an inexpensive MP3 player that is also capable of being used as a phone. The swivel form-factor is truly unique and sets its self apart from any other phone available from Verizon. As a music player, the Juke does its job well, with 2GB of internal memory, stereo earbuds, and an excellent user interface with a wide variety of options. Unfortunately, as a phone, it is lacking in reception and sound quality. We feel that the Juke’s ideal buyer is someone that is looking to use it as a music player 75% of the time, and as a phone 25% of the time. However, if you are looking for a phone first, and that is also capable of playing music, then the LG Chocolate VX8550 would be better suited for your needs.

the samsung juke is one of the most pointless phones i have ever seen. yeah it might be a musicc player, but does it really fit into the phone/music player? its mostly a music player by samsung, and rigt before they shipped it they said, hey lets make it a phone too! what the heck! its not like its gonna lose us millions of dollars! but IT DID. it was unriliable, the flipbreaks easily, the keys are too small, the freakin screen is too small, the only really good thing about this phone is that it the color on the screen is good. the camera, dont even let me GET INTO THE CAMERA. it is GARBAGE. it really is. its like, some cruddy VGA camer5a. My RAZR 2 V9m is some crazy sick 2 magapixel camera. i do have to give them some credit for having the courage to realease that phone. and if it does have bluetooth BRA-VO. overall it's garbage. people, dont waste your time getting this phone, get something better. i swear. otherwise if anybody who is reading this who already has one, then this is my opinion and you could think what you want. but i HATE It.

So far, so good. For all of us above 20 somethings who want a phone that doesn't have everything including the kitchen sink, this one is great. Easy to use, and a great multi-tasker, this phone is great for anyone who doesn't need a business phone.

this phone is great!!!!!!!!!
i just got it and it was $0 for the phone with a 2 year contract and i love this phone to death....
i got a bluetooth headset for my ipod then got this phone and the headset works the same and the quality is like my 2 gb ipod so i don't even need my ipod anymore because i have this...
I LOVE MUSIC so this was a great free phone...i wish i got the cocolate because it can hold more but i'm good with this...i'll just get the iTouch (myself at night) when i get the money...
but i recomend this phone unless you have really bad eyes because the screen is small but other than that its GREAT....
i love you amber michelle avery

Seriously, I love Samsung. But this phone is sort of changing that. See, this is a true story. I bought this Juke at a Verizon Wireless retailer in Ann Harbor, Michigan. After 22 minutes, 16 seconds of use, the battery started smoking. All the sudden, the phone shut down, and I couldn't even get a repair. Luckily, I was able to get a new one for free, since my warranty, and it lasted only 41 minutes. I don't know what to tell you- maybe that I'm cell phone-less, or just that I am dissapointed.

Well, i really didn't want this phone, but the price was really cheap, so i got it. I wasn't too excited, until about a week later because i found out soo many features it had, it was pretty awesome. I really like this phone. The camera was better than i thought, the sound is good, navigation is very easy. I really like the wheel thing. Plus, it helps you meet people. Oh! It's ringing.

the Juke is okay. I'm not a huge fan of it...then again I love phones that do EVERYTHING.
I will say that I love the speaker, the syncing is suuuuuuuuuuper easy...but the texting was difficult. t9 is one thing...but t9 with those teeny tiny keys? not so much.
