If you have never heard about it, the Peek is very a simple device dedicated to one thing: email. It’s roughly the size of your average smartphone and comes with a color screen and a qwerty keyboard. That’s it. No fancy features, just basic email access in your pocket.
The Peek comes in two different versions: Peek Pronto and Peek Classic. The Pronto is priced at $59.95, and the Classic at $19.95. However, the phone is not very useful without a plan. The plans starts at (and you know what that really means…) $14.95 per month. For that price, you get unlimited email access nation wide (U.S.) from your Peek.
The problem is this: it doesn’t even beat your iPhone/BlackBerry on the one thing it was created for, namely email. This brings me to the big question: why would you ever get a Peek?
