Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this phone now about 10 days and have already utilized several features on it. I had a Bluetooth headset from my previous phone, a Motorola w/ music player, but that phone I never got the music player working so have utilized the player in the Juke and have already downloaded some songs to it and it's wonderful. I like that it simply uses Windows Media Player and it automatically recognized the phone without incident. I have also sync'ed up the bluetooth headset to the phone without incident as well.
The two biggest things are the camera and it's image quality, while not fantastic, it's OK although vertical lines do distort though. The other is that there is no direct access to the images on there without uploading to pix place for an additional fee, however once up on the website and you log in and in the gallery, you can simply copy it and paste it into your photo processing software, however, there is not a whole lot you can do to rectify the images in there but through a subtle adjustment or resizing is about it. Really, the phone can come in handy for that impromptu shot where I don't have my digital camera with me and that's all I'd use it for.
Otherwise it's a fantastic phone for it's size and I like that not only does it have bluetooth, but also has voice command so I can do hands free dialing etc while driving, and voice command is also available with the wired headset, which I'm grateful that the Juke comes with a matching stereo pair that can also double for making/recieving calls and the USB cable, which with virtually any other phone through Verizon, you have to buy the seperate music kit w/ CD, however, the Juke can use it or Windows Media Player which most of us have which is nice.
This will be my third phone with Verizon and I think the best of the 3 and oh, it's red.
If any changes, I'd allow for direct picture access via USB, it be a tad wider for better viewing of the screen and to be able to rotate open in either direction for either left or right handed operation. I know, niggling points but still, it's a fantastic phone for what it's capable of and it's reception is superb too.

At first glance, the Samsung Juke looks like a typical stick-style MP3 player, which it is. But swing open the swiveling cover and you'll find a shiny keypad underneath that unlocks the advanced cellular features of this amazingly compact phone.
