At last.... Elegant Simplicity

2/5/2009

I love my little Peek. After trying smartphones and pdas, I finally went back to a relatively simple phone and note cards. The Peek satisfies my need for email on the go without strapping me to a ridiculously expensive contract.

The email only device boasts a nice display and an ample keyboard so it is easy to actually use the device on the go. It is much better for me to have two devices. I don't know how or why people like multitasking on tiny barbie sized screens.

The PEEK makes thing simple.

Good-but-flawed...

1/30/2009


Almost every "professional" review I read about the Peek completely missed the point of it. Reviewers go on-and-on about it being for grandmothers (or the tech.-averse) and over-priced "for what it is") glibly referencing comparable data plans from Sprint, Verizon and others). Hello, have you actually PRICED a data plan from a major carrier lately?!? I think all these iPhone- and Blackberry-loving yo-yos simply feed off the corporate plan. Do any of them actually pay for their plan themselves?!?

Five minutes' research indicates you can't beat Peek's $19.95/month for love or money. It's just that simple. I don't WANNA pay $60/70/80+ month for my service! THAT'S INSANE!

Would I prefer an iPhone or Blackberry? Whatever. I like paying that $19.95 bill, though, along with my $9 cellphone bill, $19 unlimited Vonage VOIP, and cheap streamed movies from Netflix!

That said, the Peek as a device is totally Gen-1. Screen/keyboard are okay, but:
1) It is indeed quite pokey. Cursor sometimes unresponsive
2) No security whatsoever. That's unconscionable!
3) Primitive navigation
4) Text on some incoming messages sometimes "invisible"
5) Battery life is mediocre
6) No third-party batteries available
7) Micro-USB port is "okay," but should certainly include a USB charging cable

...Etc.

It's great for what it is: inexpensive mobile e-mail. But it's not a great device

Remarkable Value

1/29/2009

The Peek offers really remarkable value for the price. It works exactly as described and I have yet to find a location in my area where there is no service. But more importantly, the Peek customer service staff is second to none. They have answered my questions immediately with honesty and candor that one only wishes would be the case among other wireless providers.

Good value, but some users may have problems with..

1/23/2009

the keyboard, which can be difficult to manipulate. You need good manual dexterity to use the device. Setup was fairly easy and it did work right away. I purchased to use while on the road and haven't had a chance to test the coverage areas yet. This seemed like an affordable alternative to a laptop or netbook. It doesn't display graphics and the text is small. Still, for a limited use device it seems like a good deal.
