 Love it! March 7, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
 Poor design for an mp3 player December 9, 2007

2.5 mm jack requires clumsy adapter sticking out sideways for any decent headphones you've already spent money on. Jack cover is flimsy plastic, would break quickly.
No special software needed to mount or copy files, though it has annoying habit of disconnecting the mount (in Windows XP) after each copy. Even mounts on Linux!
I copied over a directory from an audio book, track files beginning with 01, 02, etc... It got the sort order wrong (something my ancient USB 1.0 iRiver gets right...), so you have to create a playlist. Playlist can only be created on the device, and it's a very tiresome and tedious interface to sort the tracks out, moving one track 'up' or 'down' in the playlist at a time. I checked out the playlist 'tfs' file via the Linux mount (Windows XP wouldn't let me view the file, feh!), and it's a binary format. Not unhackable, for creating a playlist without the device, but why bother with all this trouble?
Returned it after one day. Now I see why Verizon Wireless was offering 'buy one, get one free.' What a lemon! Why can't anyone make a useful and usable device? It's not that hard!
The Juke is awesome! November 25, 2007

I have had my phone for about two months now and it's great. It's easy to use and it actually takes really good pictures (most Samsung phones are the way to go, besides kyocera). Anyhoo.... I have the navy blue one, the other colors didn't appeal to me. I have dropped it twice on the cement and it still looks brand new. It's more durable than it looks and it fits just about anywhere. Its a cool little phone. It also gets really good reception....and I live in the middle of nowhere!
 A great little phone. unique, and functional. November 9, 2007

I've had my phone for a few days now and I really like it. It is short on some of its capabilities, but still a good phone. I used to make my own ring tones and wallpapers, but you can't easily transfer data aside from music.
The phone is light weight and stays in my pocket, where as my old razr fell out every time I sat down. The ear piece is loud and clear and easy to position. I have simple phone needs and this phone satisfies with unique style. the voice recognition is excellent, and word typing as much improved.
All in all, I love this phone. It's great if you have simple needs. I find it to be very functional. The blue is almost impossible to see unless under very strong light.Its a great color if you can see it.
Fairly impressed November 5, 2007

This is my first "fancy phone" that is able to do things other than just make phone calls. I was originally skeptical, but for the most part I am impressed by the Juke.
Music capabilities:
People complain about the inability to use V-Cast on the phone, but that doesn't bother me at all. I am just thrilled that I can plug it into my computer and transfer mp3s to it (using included equipment) like I would for any mp3 player. The 2GB capacity (something like 1.7 or 1.8 GB real volume) is not huge, but certainly sufficient for something that's a phone. And while you're transferring new music to it, it's also recharging. The interface is adequate, and the included headphones are nice.
My biggest complaint in music is that it cannot handle ogg-vorbis audio (.ogg), especially since Verizon salespeople told me it probably could. Since Motorola makes mp3 players that play .ogg files, I hope that there will be a firmware upgrade coming soon.
Also, what would be awesome would be the ability to just set one of your mp3s on the phone as a ring-tone, but I kinda doubt that's happening any time soon.
Camera:
Okay. The picture quality is all right, but the display screen is a little small. The biggest problem is the "take photo" button is placed so that the easiest way to hold the phone and press it is while covering the camera aperture.
Overall use:
Exterior screen lets you see txts and caller ID before opening the phone. Opening the phone is slightly unwieldy tho. It'd be nice if it swiveled in both directions. A recommendation I would make for them would be to be able to press a button to turn on the clock while the phone is closed. But for the most part, slim, and snazzy.
And as advice to Amazon, I think it makes sense to have the reviews for all of the colors show up together when someone visits any of the phones. I would think that someone who is considering buying a teal phone would like to know what someone who owns a blue phone thinks.
