Form Basics Extras Video Wrap-up Comments  3  

Menus Calls/Contacts Messaging  

Calls work mostly as expected on the Juke. When it is closed, an incoming call shows up on the screen with caller ID and a short menu of actions to take. Without having to open the phone, you can silence the call, send it to voicemail, or answer it in speakerphone mode. You can also set it to answer calls by flicking the Juke open. You cannot initiate calls when the Juke is closed.

Once open, the controls and menus make finding recent calls and contacts easy. The send key opens up a list of all recent calls. You can then use the D-pad to select a recent call. Hitting send will call that number. Hitting the center of the D-pad will bring up information about that call, including call time, duration, etc. With call information open, you can also choose the right function key again to see a short list of options, which include saving or erasing the call record.

Using the main menu to access recent calls lets you fine-tune your selection process. From here, you can choose to view missed, received, dialed, and all calls separately. From each of these menus, you have the same calling options as listed above.

From the home screen, the right function key opens up your contact database. The default action places a cursor in a tiny search box. You start dialing in a name and once you've typed several letters, hit the center of the D-pad. This will take you to that name in your database. It does not autosort contacts as you type. Once you have a contact highlighted, hitting the center of the D-pad will open the contact, hitting the send button will initiate a call to that contact.

With a contact open the right function key lets you access the options menu. Here you can choose to send them text messages, place a call to them, and several other actions. Each contact lets you store up to five numbers, two email addresses, notes, ringtones and pictures.
