Samsung SCH-U470-Juke Navy Cell Phone
With the Samsung U470 being slated as the Juke, this has to be short for Jukebox since the device offers a 2GB music player and comes with stereo earphones and a USB cable right out of the box.
All of the direction keys are also shortcut keys when you open the phone. When you press the up direction key it automatically creates a new text message. Press the bottom direction key and you get sent to your calendar. Left direction key you get sent to the pictures menu. And on the right direction key and you get sent to the Get It Now menu.
You can personalize just about everything on the Display Settings menu, and while... The Samsung Juke for Verizon is a cool little phone that makes calls, plays music, and tucks away almost unnoticed in a pocket or purse. Featuring two gigabytes of built-in storage, a front-mounted scroll wheel for navigating through your music library and contacts list, and a unique switchblade design, Juke is small, slick, and easy to use.
Samsung and Verizon left a lot out of Juke in order to make it tiny and inexpensive. ... Juke is being marketed as a music phone and it does feature a very intuitive, easy to use music player. However, it doesn't work with Verizon's VCast Music store (or the company's other VCast services). While I can understand that Verizon wanted to leave 3G off the Juke in order to reduce its size and cost while maximize battery life, I can't understand them launching a new music phone that doesn't let customers purchase and download... Juke's display is tiny but bright and easy to read, so relative to the overall goal of making a small handset with a trick design and good music player, I think Samsung did a good job here. Just 1.45" across, the display's resolution is only 128 x 220 pixels, but it does support 262,000 colors. As such, fonts, menus and images all rendered quite well on the LCD screen. Customization options include adjustable font sizes and... Juke supports SMS and MMS messaging, but it's tiny display and somewhat small keypad make it a poor choice for heavy-duty texters. That being said, Samsung's T9 predictive text implementation is solid and the optional Get it Now mobile IM application supports AIM, Yahoo! and Windows Live Messenger. Email is not supported on Juke.
Internet on Juke is limited to Verizon's Get it Now options for purchasing ringtones and wallpapers,... It's nice to see companies pushing the design envelope at both the low and high ends of the mobile phone spectrum. While expensive smartphones and feature phones are gaining full frontal touchscreens and easier-to-use user interfaces, some lower end models are also getting design overhauls, often based around a single advanced feature. T-Mobile's Blast (also a Samsung phone), for instance, is a mid-range slider built for messaging... Pros: Music Player, Good voice quality Cons: Small, Thick, Battery Life was bad, Ugly, etc Summary: Overall, a bad phone. Ugly design, Small and thick. Just a bad phone. 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful Pros: Small Cons: Phone unfolds in my pocket Summary: It's a good little phone that swivels open and closed. Sound quality is good, easy to use, display is a little small, but okay for me. Can't say much for the battery life since I just got it, but my guess is that it'll be pretty weak before my 2 year contract is up, just like every other cell phone I've had. As for durability, it's doing fine now, but I'm afraid it'll fall apart on me because it keeps unfolding in my pocket. I'm sure it'd do just fine in a lady's purse, but not great in the pocket. Loading music is a snap and the quality of sound is great. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful Pros: music, sound, options, Cons: small buttons, small screan Summary: The good thing about this phone is that you can use this like an ipod or MP3 I purchased it in november and now I really dont like it too much, mostly because of the small buttons. Its actually prety easy to text message but it sometimes takes a while because you hit 4 buttons at the same time. The small screan is also a minus I find it often hard to read the text or icons. Calling is very easy because the ear peice fits snug in your ear and the volume is perfect. I would recomend this phone more for a child or a person that doesn't text message alot. this phone being a newer model it gets perfect reception in most places. I am a teenager so i have over 3000 text a month so i really dont recomend this phone for a "texter" 6 out of 9 people found this review helpful All of the direction keys are also shortcut keys when you open the phone.
