Pros:
Very slick design, in cool colors with matching headphones. Plenty of built-in storage, and fast media transfers. Navigation a nice surprise. |
 |
Cons:
Tiny screen, tiny keys. Lacks any 3G or Web browsing features. Media player a little basic, could be more robust and better looking. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| Don't let the low score fool you, the Samsung Juke picks and chooses its features, and it tends to get them right. For music, this won't replace an iPhone, but for literally a fifth of the cost, it will definitely make you think twice about carrying a phone and an iPod shuffle. The music player could have been better, and we weren't big fans of anything involving the Juke's keypad, but the scroll wheel on this phone works well, and the design is so slick that you might just forget its shortcomings. Plus, navigation is a nice bonus that really works, not just a last-minute addition. It may not be feature-rich, but we came away liking the Juke, and for folks looking for a true music phone, we would happily recommend it. |
