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.

Great Service - a Lifeline

1/11/2010

Greetings,
I needed a device for my elderly aunt who kept having her phone disconnected for some reason or the other. I got this device setup with a yahoo email account and my aunt was off to the races emailing and "conversing" with her high school classmates and church buddies.
Best of all it prevented 20 voice mails a day :) checkin' in. Instead it's much more fun to email 20 times a day.
She had to quit sewing after 50 years but still can manage the keyboard on this device and gets along fine.
The folks at Peek have been great. I mailed it in for a software upgrade and they updated for free and mailed it back in a reasonable period of time and at no charge for return shipping.
Ashley in the Phoenix, AZ office was extremely polite, professional, had excellent product knowledge and handled my customer inquiry flawlessly. A better call center representative you will not find.
Now my aunt has a communication device while being snowed in and is not lonely any more. Before she knew it - she had joined the digital age - and embraced it. All because she was willing to Peek into the future.

Best Regards,

Charles R. Smith

Terrible Product

11/14/2009

Besides the service being way overpriced, it's slow and takes forever to download. It also downloads all of your email, even that which should have been cleared from the server. Do yourself a favor and avoid Peek.
