1.0 out of 5 stars Once good - but can't be trusted. September 27, 2009
Used to really like the Peek. It was simple, satisfied my needs, and was very affordable. Unfortunately, they went through a transition that really soured me to their product. One day my Peek simply stopped working and then they blamed it on another company. They made us purchase a replacement (although at a low cost) and then it took them 3 weeks (plus) to get us back up and running. For some, this is no big deal and you move on, but for me, it was simply unacceptable. What made the situation really bad, wasn't the outage and the amateur response, it was the total lack of communication that followed the outage.

The company simply didn't tell their users what was going on.

This was a powerful signal that they don't understand their core customer. We simply needed to know how long we were going to out of service and they simply refused to tell us.

To that end , they shut down their phone lines and didn't accept people calling in. You could only email (from another computer or device), and then that would take days for them to respond.

Overall, as long as the system is working, it is OK. But as soon as there is trouble - forget it. The company just inst robust enough, or professional enough to make it through a rough patch.

You have been warned, from a once avid Peekster.

1.0 out of 5 stars One Year Later--no way. October 8, 2009
I wrote my first review of this product when I had only had it a short time. I should have waited. I purchased the product in March; in September it began to lose its ability to hold a battery charge. Customer service was notified; they recommended tests which were duly performed. Although the tests seemingly proved the battery was not at fault, they sent another battery. I installed it. There was no improvement in performance. Again I notified customer service; they did not respond. From December until March I charged that battery daily and did the best I could while e-mailing customer service. Nothing. I e-mailed Armol Sarva, the head honcho (I guess) who was always e-mailing soliciting happy funtime Peek stories. No response. My warranty ran out. Finally someone using Sarva's email wrote back. "Sorry. Can't help you." I wrote again. For several weeks e-mails were exchanged with me saying "but if the battery is okay, then isn't something wrong with the unit?" Sarva's response was to then question the connectivity of the area. I live in a large city -- Jacksonville, FL -- and never experienced connectivity issues before. He then said he could send me a refurbished peek for xxx dollars. I said no, I want my own Peek fixed. He said, "Can't help you. Wouldn't be worth it to test one unit when we are developing new products." My question "But if the current product doesn't work, how is the next one going to work?" went unanswered. It was always "can't help you." I suggested that if the problem was really due to connectivity, then other Peek users in Jacksonville should have reported it, so it couldn't be connectivity. He just shrugged that off and referred me to the forum. The forum was not very helpful but there was some advice on changing preferences to obtain longer battery life.... Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 stars Niche product, not as good as I had hoped November 4, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought that this would be perfect product for me. I don't need a phone, I just need access to my email. I bought the lifetime contract, used the device for a few days, and I'm returning it today.

I like the idea, and I wish a better product were out there to fill this niche. Here are my complaints:

- The keys are too hard to press, and the space bar is too small
- "Push" email is not instant as advertised -- it still takes about 3-6 minutes for me to get email from my servers.
- The screen isn't easy to read. The color schemes are ugly and the resolution is bad.
- The scroll wheel needs to be improved.
- I wish this had real IMAP support -- it doesn't sync with the IMAP servers.

Thanks anyway, Peek. I do think this device fills a niche nicely, but I wish it were better designed. Good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME device for an even better price!!! October 10, 2009
OK Unlimited Peek service for a one time fee of $300?!?!?! You're going to save a ton of money vs a phone company with this, and depending on your needs, that may be just perfectly fine. I'm a teenager, so I primarily use this for texting. You simply cannot beat this deal: unlimited texting for $50 quarterly, with a good device that actually has a QWERTY. AT&T's GoPhone doesn't even come close. I love this device, it's so cheap! I really don't know how the company can make money but they've been around for a couple years now so I guess they're doing OK. The texting and email rocks, with minimal delay. You get a real static number now, so if someone texts you, it's not some weird routing number, it's normal and they can actually save it to initiate the conversation. I have only one bone to pick with the device: the rubbery material that it's made of. I use this thing VERY heavily, I usually get only a day plus some change out of it whereas others may get a day and a half to 2 days. The keyboard doesn't wear very well. Some of the corners of the keys chipped off but, especially the spacebar, but it doesn't effect typing, and I type with my nails on the thing, so when the nails slip, if they catch the corner, it's bound to happen. Hopefully the next version will have a plastic keyboard.

Pros:
-Nice device
-Minimal delay to receive messages
-No more routing numbers for texting!
-Price is unbeatable
-Keyboard feels nice with good travel and feedback
-Extremely easy to navigate, if you're lost, just hit the back button a few times and you're back in the Inbox view no matter what.

Cons:

-Heavy usage will show some wear on the device
-Scroll Wheel on the side of the device.
