Peek can keep you sane

8/23/2009

I originally bought the Peek for my trip to Comic Con in San Diego and then my two and a half week from CA to WY and back. I figured that for $20 and then I paid for three months of service, so an additional $50 that $70 wasn't bad for three months of e-mail. I figured that to turn on internet on my Blackberry that it would cost $30 a month (though this would give me a bit more access). So, overall, the Peek was the best deal.

I found it very helpful during Comic Con. It came in handy especially during panels that I didn't want to see and it's quiet and doesn't disturb others. On the trip to Wyoming and back, the only issues I had was that the signal dropped out in places. It uses the T-Mobile network, which isn't quite as superior as AT&T or Verizon.

PROS
- e-mail access
- replying to e-mails
- pretty colors (I do love the aqua one!)
- easy to use keyboard (once you get used to it)
- has symbols on the keys and then under another menu (at least all the more popular ones, no Greek letters or anything)

CONS
- there is a MAX length to the e-mails you receive
- you can't hook it up to your laptop and like copy from word into it
- if you delete online, it still shows up on the Peek (so you end up deleting a lot later)
- there is no SELECT ALL function in order to delete e-mails you may have already read online
- there isn't perfect signal coverage

Over all, the Peek works well, you just have to be okay with the constant deleting between the computer and the Peek.

Fantastic toy

8/14/2009

a fantastic product. I was thinking of getting a blackberry or iphone and was not sure if I really needed email and internet access on the fly. So I gave peek a try.

I was astonished. The connection to my email account was ridiculously easy, the guy at the hotline was great, new what he was doing. And my emails kept flying in. After 2 weeks I realized that I also needed internet access, so I had to cancel and get myself an iphone, which is fantastic.

The only thing I didn't like was that when I wanted to cancel the service they left me on the phone for over an hour waiting. I then hung up and called again, this time choosing to talk to the support. Everything was done in 5 minutes.

I can highly recommend this service, for anybody who needs to read his emails on the go, just to be updated. And even if you don't like it, what is the risk? $20 for a month subscription.

Peek Mobile Email

8/11/2009

I've been using a Peek for quite some time now, and have to say it's a wonderful thing! My neighbor has one as well, and we both love the ease of use and convenience.

I bought the original one, and have since upgraded to the Pronto software. It really was very easy to do.

I'd recommend a Peek to anyone who doesn't want to pay high cell phone bills for data, but loves to text and do email. I have a Blackberry, which I love, but love my Peek all the same.

Take a Peek at this!

7/9/2009

I'm not much of a cell phone person, but I am an emailer, so I was delighted when I first read about the Peek. Within 3 days of reading the review, I owned one, and I haven't regretted it!
At first, the software seemed a little slow and clunky and there were some initial network problems, but once I upgraded to the Peek pronto firmware, things have been near perfect - so perfect that I bought a Peek for my wife.
At just $19.95 a month for service, it's well worth it to be able to get email instantly without a costly cell phone plan (for the record, my cell phone is a pay-as-you-go plan - I don't have the money needed for an overpriced iPhone!).

The Peek also does text messaging at no extra charge, which will surely be a plus for parents wanting to let their kids text but also being able to avoid overage fees!

Today I went to work and forgot to take my Peek with me... I felt so lost all day - couldn't check mail on my breaks or lunch!

it's a sure sign that you're attached to a product when you miss it so badly when it's gone.

The only reason I didn't give the Peek 5 stars is that there are occasional network blips and quirks (sometimes I have to remove the battery briefly to shut it down - frustrating, but relatively infrequent)

Great idea, poor implementation

7/4/2009

I bought this as a substitute for email/sms on my cell phone but, sadly, it's just an email client whose delivery times are horrible. SMS actually requires people to either use an SMS to email gateway, which is clunky at best, or wait for you to send a message which they can then reply to.

If you're an email only user and don't exchange messages via sms with folks, it's a good product, provided you don't need delivery times of less than 15 minutes.

If you rely on email and SMS to communicate with folks in near-real time, this isn't the device for you. I ended up returning mine after about 2 weeks; when they get the kinks sorted out and begin to provide true sms, this will be a great device that I will gladly buy again, but it's not for me at the moment.

Pros:
lightweight
well thought out user interface and keyboard
easy to upgrade with cable purchase from Peek
flat rate unlimited service
battery life is good
good tech support

Cons:
no true sms
delivery times for email are quite unpredictable
Peek neglected to include a usb chip, which necessitates the use of a special cable you have to buy from them (it's cheap though)
uses t-mobile network for network coverage
company infrastructure is not keeping up with service demand
