Fast and easy setup for email on the go

Review Date: October 23, 2008

Reviewer: Gabriel A. Fabius, New York, NY United States

My girlfriend uses her Peek with GMail and she loves it. She already has a phone and doesn't need all the extra bells and whistles that most people don't use anyway. The setup is super easy; just put in your email address and password and that's it! It's super slim and stylish and does email in a snap. If you are not techie and want email on the go this is the gizmo for you.

Inexpensive but Still Perfect

The Peek is sensational. If all you want is email on the go without the expense, this is the device for you. It's better than a blackberry because it costs so much less, the battery lasts longer and there are no contracts.

I have a pre-paid cell plan and only spend about $8 a month for the 80 minutes of calls I make. To add a data plan for email would cost a couple hundred bucks for the device, plus a bigger bucket of minute plan plus the data plan for email for a total of more than $65 a month.

The Peek is only $20 a month for UNLIMITED EMAIL (with no contract) and the battery lasts about 5 days per charge. Smartphones last a day...if you're lucky.

Also of note is the Peek's fabulous tech support. I've called twice and got a human on the first ring...a human on a landline in the US...which meant I could hear what they said. 877-677-PEEK (7335)

Lastly, because this is an email device you technically can't text cell phones with it, but actually there is a work-around.

All cell phones have an email address which is the phone number + the carrier. For example 8185551212@vtext.com for Verizon.

So all you have to do is use the email address of the cellphone you want to text. Then all you have to do is set up an email address with your phone number. For example you set-up 4085556711@gmail.com. Just tell your friends to add the Gmail part or respond to one of your messages. In other words, not much extra work for them.

The Peek checks email about every 5-15 minutes, but if you are looking for an immediate response you can use the send/check mail option and it will check it for new email/messages instantly...making it a text messaging alternative.

The device itself is solid. The keys are raised making them easy to type on and the screen is bright enough for my forty-plus eyes. The font is a little on the small size but they plan an update to make it bigger, if you want it. According to their tech support, the update will be sent to existing Peek phones automatically so you can buy one now and still get the update.

Best tech purchase I've made in ages.

SOO Easy to use and Convenient!

Review Date: October 23, 2008

Reviewer: C. Gordon,

This is SUCH a cool new invention. It really could not be simpler or more convenient for staying in touch with your emails. I was wowed at first by the price being so low, and nervous that it would not perform as well as similar devices out there, but I have been pleasantly surprised. At just $20 a month for the service- you can't beat it! I highly recommend it.

Great Email Device

Review Date: October 22, 2008

Reviewer: M. Frackt,

Family members love using their Peek. It allows them to access emails all day and not just when they are in front of the computer. My mom does not know the first thing when it comes to electronics (she calls me to help fix the tv when she hits the TV/Video Button by accident) but she was able to set up the Peek on her own and she uses it all the time.

I LOVE LOVE THIS!!!

I saw this and had to have it. I hate being away from my email too long. Too much flows through it and when im away I miss important things. After trying several devices that used WI-FI which in a country area is sparadic, left me waiting more. I liked that this came with its owen service. I purchased it and loved it immediately out of the box. It works great. I have a great signal and its reasonably priced. This is an excellent investment if you are not a tech person or want something simply for email.
