 Low price = Worth it May 13, 2008
I had been a Palm Treo user since they came out years ago, needing a PDA for my work, I had downloaded software to use it as a MP3 player, and found that now is a nessesity for me. I tried out the Juke (red, not blue) and for the most part love it. I use opensuse exclusively on my home and business system, have no problem mounting or transferring files to the phone. The only real issue (beside small screen with bad eyes)has been building playlists for it. The onboard format for doing this is a bit clunky, but, for the price of the phone, how well it works and it's size, I am happy with it. Now to see how it stands the test of time (had mine about a year now)
 Excellent product May 2, 2008
I've had the Juke for two months and still think it's cool. Phone reception is great, good battery life, MP3 features work well, and it's snazzy sleek look is sharp. The display screen is awesome for mp3s - even shows the album cover of the song it's playing. Loading your tunes from Windows Media Player is a snap. I also use it with Jabra JBT8040 bluetooth and have had no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend this phone.

I had a Motorola phone and the never ending dying battery beep drove me crazy. So, when I updated my phone, I went with the Samsung Juke. Cute, small, easy to use, but I haven't even had it a month and wish I had something else. Cosmetically ok, although the blue is so dark it is hard to tell it is blue and not black. Somethings are a bit annoying, but the parts that I really have issue with are: it doesn't lock open when I am talking, so if I hold it with my shoulder or even wrong with my hand, the phone starts to close on me; the battery life gets shorter every day. It was good at first, but after a couple of weeks of use, I am only getting about an hour and a half of talk time. It also has a dying battery beep that I can't figure out how to shut off, but luckily is quieter and doesn't last for days like the Motorola one did. But still, how about a phone that beeps once and leaves a message or something that the battery is low instead of beeping every couple of minutes? I am dissatisfied enough with the phone to write a review, not bad enough to deal with trying to get a different phone. Makes me wish for that ancient, very reliable, utilitarian Nokia that just performed.

I impulsively purchased the Juke when I went to Verizon and had to set up a new contract. I knew one way or another, I would have to suck it up and accept a few downsides to a phone this small. I'll briefly describe what has really appealed to me (besides the convenient size):
- All mandatory functions (i.e. speakerphone, calculators and converters, ordinary tools, etc).
- Decent HD space for music player.
- Intuitive uploads through VCAST media player - took no more than a few minutes to figure out.
- Voice-activated text/pic messages, playlists, etc.
- Fun design.
- Great battery life.
- Decent speaker for a small phone to play music.
However, the Juke really drives me crazy sometimes. For example:
- When the swivel is closed, you can receive texts, but cannot dismiss them. This means that until you open the swivel, the text will stay on the outside display.
- Texting is a chore and a half. The auto-word is decent, but hitting those buttons is extremely difficult. I am not a hobbit, Samsung. I have huge normal people fingers that need more space.
- No modifying the screen when the Juke is closed. Trivial, but would've been a great feature. Instead, it just shows a digital clock.
- The only two phone display themes stink. The default Boombox is okay, but the Vivace is ugly and almost makes the screens inoperable. I am unsure if more can be downloaded.
All things considered, this isn't necessarily a bad phone. It could use some improvements, but I'm pretty happy. Enjoy!
Love it! March 7, 2008

I've had this phone for a long time now, and I still love it. It's a great size, nice and small. I use the Mp3 feature a lot, usually when I'm out and about and would like some music, it's much easier than bringing an ipod everywhere. Music files are easy to transfer through your computer. Not a good phone if you like extra high tech features that most new phones offer. It lacks in certain features that you will notice only after you start using it. For example, storing old text messages- after your inbox gets to about 100 messages, it gets full and you have to clear out the inbox. Same with the calendar, the storage space is smaller than most phones. Not a big deal if you don't mind clearing that stuff out frequently. Overall, great, fun little phone. I'd recommend it to people who like the Mp3 feature.
