Can't activate... No customer service

7/24/2010

Very hard to open package. They use that Chinese junk plastic blister packaging.

Activated online Friday night. Waited for 20 minutes then turned on the Peek. No service (red x on antenna icon). Turned Peek off then on again. No service.

Customer service phone line was closed already. Won't open until Monday. Emailed [...]. No response. And my subscription time that I paid for is ticking away.

I thought Peek was known for their exemplary customer service! Guess not anymore.

It works and is low cost

6/24/2010

This review is for the peek classic, the cheaper one. Got the peek this morning, activated the thing and immediately got emails. This afternoon, took the peek out in the Gulf of Mexico (working on the oil spill) and the device performed flawlessly. Cell phones work reliably out to about 3 miles on a good day, the peek uses T-Mobile's network and I can start working on received emails while returning to port. I should point out that the peek is very easy to figure out how to use. The peek classic has been criticized because it does not support push email. As you can scroll the menu down to the send/receive function and hit enter (you push in on the jog wheel), what's the problem? Too, when I drop the thing in the drink (notice I said when and not if) it won't cost an arm and a leg to replace like an iPhone would.

7/22/10 update:
updated this device to a peek pronto and newest operating system version. Cost only the priority usb cable which is available on peek's web site. Cannot really say things are any faster, but you can text with the peek pronto and the new bold fonts make reading texts/emails much easier. Do your self a favor and just buy the peek pronto from Amazon.com. It is worth the extra money. By the way, have not dropped the peek in the gulf yet.

8/26/10 update:
peek is now in Juno, AK. And it works great.

Agreed: not ready for prime time

6/24/2010

I had a peek for several months. Except that I had to recharge the battery much more often than a cell phone (about every 2 days at most, every day worked better) it was pretty good.

Then I started to noticing problems, really just annoyances. Finally, around 12:30 p.m. I got all my emails for that morning. I was at my office all morning which has fabulous T-Mobile coverage so I don't see how the issue was a signal, I would think it's the peek servers.

Bottom line, it's a nice gizmo for emails, as long as the occasional 4 hour delay is not problematic to you. It is to me, so I canceled the service (which, I should say, they were not difficult about).

Not worth it.

3/13/2010

Leo Franklin is right on. This is a sleek, promising device that ultimately is not worth the money. The biggest problem, one that Peek seems to have addressed with the Pronto, is not receiving push emails. Anyone, even the most casual user, will get time-sensitive emails that need to be read within minutes or hours, and the Peek simply cannot be relied on to deliver emails within a timely fashion.

Another problem I encountered is the UI design--the "simple" scroll wheel definitely takes some getting used to. This coming from someone in interactive marketing, so I'm familiar with the UI of most mobile devices and quick to learn. Still I found myself (gasp!) having to consult the manual to perform some operations.

I had no problems with reception (in San Francisco), but the lack of push email rendered this device useless to me within the first month. I had prepaid for three months, but canceled early. I simply stopped using the Peek. I can't recommend it to anyone.

Slow, for grandma only

2/17/2010

We bought this to keep up with emails while away from our business on weekends. This thing is NOT for anybody with anything other than an occasional email. The problem is that the service collects ALL your emails, even if you have already down-loaded on your home PC, and then laboriously downloads them - frequently crashing in the process. Just too slow and cranky for us, but might be great for an occasional light user.
