The Juke does not include a WAP or HTML browser. The only access you have to data is through Verizon Wireless's Get It Now applications. All of them require one-time or subscription charges before acccess. They include the usual assortment of games, ringtones and wall papers, weather, navigation and news clip information. The real stunner here is that because the Juke is not EV-DO-enabled (it has only 1xRTT data), it does not have access to Verizon's V CAST Music store. This would seem to be a no-brainer on a music-centric handset.

Users can make the expected adjustments to the Juke's sound settings, display settings and phone/call settings. There are two themes included, several wallpapers and ringtones, and users can adjust the banner and style and size of the dialing font. Beyond these, there is not much users can do to personalize the Juke.
