Any Peeksters willing to share the special offer email or at least the details? :) One thing that's not clear from the docs, does it automatically POP the mail to simulate PUSH or do you have to manually PULL the mail? |
I think you can even get ATT PAYG data for $20 a month. I remember reading something like that not so long ago as people were looking to get an iPhone with out a voice plan.

"Here’s the special offer. Buy a Peek today online (we’ll see the order date in our system) and send us a picture of you with your Peek at Target…and we’ll give you 50% off for 3 months on the service." That was on 9-11, so apparently it was a 1-day deal. |

I've had one her for a bit, and I'm really impressed with how they tackled this thing, it feels great, it seems reliable and the keyboard is awesome.

Do you think it feels odd that way?

Looks like there is a new firmware out there that adds SMS and image support.

Wow - even 2 or 3 years ago...but not now. Or, maybe good for Mom/Dad type technophobes.
As for me - I'll take a cellcard for the laptop, or a Crackberry... RFTraveler :td: |

I don't use my cell phone that much so a while back I switched to prepaid to save money, so might consider this for a lower cost way to check email on the run.
Of course $10-$15 would be better. I just took delivery on a Peek today. It was on sale at costco.com for $70 with free shipping. Thanks to Costco's generous return policy, I hope to give it a good, long tryout to decide if it will meet my needs. ^ Like meerkat9090, I'm one of the holdouts on smartphones who uses prepaid. Using 20 minutes/month of voice, I can't justify the $30/month voice plan that seems to be required with all of them. |
