Verizon Launches Super Small "Juke" Music Phone

by Tim Stevens on October 17, 2007 at 08:02 AM

Samsung and Verizon Juke it OutThis Friday, Verizon will launch its latest and perhaps slickest music phone yet. Called the Juke (from Samsung), the new player/handset is slim and light, yet surprisingly powerful. It sports two-gigabytes (GB) of internal storage for MP3, WMA, AAC, and AAC+ music, meaning it should play your DRM-free tunes from just about every download service out there.

Granted, you probably won't be able to take your entire music library with you given the Juke's minimal memory, but at about 3.8'-inches long and 1.2'-inches wide, Verizon's new handset is certainly small enough to take pretty much anywhere. Despite its diminutive size, the Juke still sports a 1.3-megapixel camera. It also supports wireless stereo Bluetooth headsets (which is more than we can say for the iPhone!).

Of course, if you want to listen to your tunes wirelessly, you'll need to purchase that Bluetooth headset separately, but Samsung includes wired set of headphones for in the $99 package (of course, you'll need to sign-up for two years with the carrier). ...

Available in red, teal, or black, the Juke is available for pre-order now at the Verizon Wireless site.
