Samsung U470 “Juke” details

Samsung U470 Juke to hit Verizon Wireless

Samsung’s U470 is an interesting little sucker. It’s definitely one of the smallest swivel-phones that we’ve seen and now we have some more details on the svelte musicphone. The Samsung U470 will be coming to Verizon (NYSE: VZ)’s network as the Samsung “Juke.”

Thanks to an Engadget Mobile tipster, we’ve got the deets on the external controls and the fact that it’s a “basic Verizon Wireless phone.” In other words, don’t expect too much out of the Samsung U470 Juke – aside from the cool swivel feature.

We’re not sure what to think about the design – like we said, it’s an interesting sucker, but we’d stay away from every buying a phone like this.

Click through for more pics and a list of features of the Samsung U470.

  2. somedude says:

    gah i like this fone but it messed me up sumtimes, i shouldve stuck with my first one which was a teal juke, it was perfect but i decided to switch to a red juke, that one started freezing up on me, exchanged, the next one wouldnt turn on, exchanged, this one it sort of bent when i got it so when i swivel it open it wouldnt really open up by itself with a push, u have to manually push it open urself all the way and so when itss open the top screen part looks ‘bent’ over the body :[ but i still like the fone

    OMG..lol. What is with the swearing? Like man, it’s just a phone! But, I had my eye on it for a while, but I’m not really a phone person, so I just want some input on some cool phones to get. I’m getting a new cell, but, I don’t want to buy one and then see another one that’s way better. I got the Samsung SGH-D800, but the mp3 player sucks! I got the bluetooth with the phone, but you can hardly hear it. Help me!!! :sad:

    I just bought this phone. My dad and I got two of these phones for an inexpensive price. It holds a lot of songs on it. I’ve already put 350 songs on there, and it can hold more. The sound is good. I’ve had no problems with texting or anything. It works really good. Has Bluetooth and is capable of a lot of other features including a Navigation system.
    Oh, and the camera takes very high quality pictures :] very nice.

  12. possible juke owner says:

  20. Cody says:

    well…..theres some pretty random posts. anyways, i am interested in getting the phone and i wanted to ask people who already have it, how the battery life is. i recently read a review and i was reading about how, call time you have around 3 hours battery life, and music around 6 hours, im not sure how accurate that is. if anyone has experienced this plz let me know.

    Thanks.

  21. maria maria says:

  22. PersonWithAJuke says:

    All of you ppl who hate this phone SHUT UP. I have this phone, it’s actually really good- i’ve dropped it ont he ground like 5 times and it hasn’t broken. IT IS NOT 270 DOLLARS! They now have it for 60, and there’s a rebate. It’s surprisingly really easy to text on, and the swivel is really cool. It has a lot of nice helpful features, and I highly recommend it.

  23. FLCL says:

    Excuse me…..are half of you guys sitting there blue printing the most perfect phone ever? No you’re not, so if you don’t think the phone is good, don’t post in a forum about it super genius :roll:
    the negative talkers are just making themselves look like douche bags, if you don’t have anything nice to say about this phone, MAKE THE PERFECT PHONE then talk smack…..otherwise keep in mind in the future (in forums and real life) TALK SHIT-GET HIT :mad:

  24. paula/destinee says:

  25. paula/destinee says:

  26. simmon cal says:

    To all of you talking rediculous crap about a phone should grow up your all a bunch of teenie boppers who probaly can’t afford a phone and have to settle for cheap phones that mommy and daddy had to buy!! So why don’t you all just grow up and get jobs to buy your own phone!!!!!!

  27. Josh says:

    Anyone who decides to talk smack about the phone should be able to. This is a forum on the phone and people should be able to express themselves however they want…this way other buyers will be able to hear everyones opinion about that product they are buying, and then they won’t have such a hard time deciding wether they want to buy that product they are lokking at. I don’t know why everyone is getting all sensitive anout other peoples comments…let them say what they want.

  28. Jayliin says:

    i roll my eyes at u :roll: u r all imiture.i agree with all of u people that say that u shouldn’t talk trash a bout a phone. i also agree wit josh. so the simple and easy solution is just to not use offensive language but u can still say your opinion. just dont use language that might offend someone. o and by the way this is coming from my 12 yr old neice that seems to me to be a bit smatter then all of u. by the way she is getting the phone and thinks it is awesome. :razz:

  29. Sharelle says:

    :eek: i have this phone and when my parents first gave it to me i was like ewwww!!!but its cute……i like it now…..and its very easy to talk on and text….just your pictures are really small….its a good phone tho!!!!!so if u dont have the phone u cant really speak on how u feel about it…..emmmk bye all!!!!

  30. carly says:

  33. bart says:

    I think the juke rules and ive been begging my dad 4 one 4 my b day jukes r the bomb :wink:

  34. Iv had the juke for less than a day and its my first phone. BUT ITS FREIKEN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

  35. dinglebob says:

    Ive had this phone for about three months now and have fell in love with it. It is small, but not small enough for people to complain about it being hard using, well except maype really fat chicks whose fingers hit three buttons at once, but really though, the buttons being small dont cause a problem with texting and dialing. The LG chocolate was alot harder to text with, its just like shoes though, you have to get used to it. The talk time, music time, and battery life overall is great, i think that is jsut a perk of using a samsung though, the chocolate had a horrible battery life. Ive had this phone and used it normally for three days tlaking, games, music and texting, and it didnt need charging. Well it needed charging on about the third day, but never went dead on me. The speaker is great for music and so is the earpiece for talking. The speaker for music isnt super loud but is louder than the chocolate and should make anyone happy that isnt trying to be a douchebag and play it really loud to aggrevate others. It is loud enough i can put it in my pocket while im at work and have the music up and hear it plain as day. One draw back is the the fact that it is not internet capable, but i can deal with it considering i can do my online banking and can use vcast music match which i must say kicks major ass. its free and easy to whip out really quick when you hear a song on the radio that you dont know. i have used it numerous times and it ahs never ever gotten the song wrong, once i do recall it could not find the song, but it was a remix version of the song so i am sure that is why. Anyways all in all i am super satisfied witht this phone, people always ask about it, its easy to use, and works perfectly, and it much more durable than i ever imagined it would be, i kept my choc for about a month just because i thought that i might break it considering i am really rough on phones, but i havent even came close.

  36. ash says:

    I have this phone and i absolutly love it. it cost me 150 dollars but i love it. when u flip it open im always afraid im gonna break it.

  37. Raidium says:

    I have a dummy one that I’m playing with right now, and I love the feel and look of it, but sense you cant expand the memory, I wouldn’t get one.

  38. mrrrrrg says:

    can this go on telus?

  39. Morgan says:

    Ok, I’ve had the phone for a couple of weeks now and figured I’d tell my tale about the phone. So, I have only seen pros with this phone so far. It fits in my purse and pockets nicely. Its battery life is awesome. It lasted for 3 days when I probably listened to music for 8 or more hours, made some calls, and texted. Its a nice phone for teens. You can hold a lot of songs and its not like an iPod that you can only hear it through earphones. You can play it like a boombox. We’re always passing it around and listening to music on the bus. The memory is great. So far I have over 100 songs and over 200 pictures. You can read texts with the phone closed and then if you want to reply you just simply open the phone and text away. For people saying you can’t text with this phone, I have successfully sent over 100 texts. There are also little fun features on the phone that make it just awesome. For example, you can change the way the numbers show up when you type in numbers to these other really cool things. There are rainbow numbers, colorful numbers written on a piece of old paper with a quill pen(that ones super cool, it actually shows the pen writing and makes a sound), and a little bulletin board with multi-colored tacked up notes with the numbers on it. You can also add fun edits to your pictures like 16 color effects(my favorite is the sketchy one), you can add frames(I added a frame that made my kitty look like he was snorkeling), clip art, and text, you can change the brightness, saturation, sharpness, and blur, and you can rotate it and flip the pictures. You can still download things like games and tunes and the like. Also, for your text messages you can add a signature that shows up at the bottom, change the color and size of the letters(also you can change the color of the backround), and bold, italisize, strikethrough, and underline things. You can add sounds, graphics(like little smilies), and animations. The picture quality is pretty good too for such a small screen. After awhile you get used to things with this phone like the screen and flipping it and where the keys are and stuff. So overall I think this is an incredible phone and would advise people to get it.
