Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Peek Mobile E-mail Device (Cherry)
Customer Review: Not worth it.
Summary: 2 Stars
Leo Franklin is right on. This is a sleek, promising device that ultimately is not worth the money. The biggest problem, one that Peek seems to have addressed with the Pronto, is not receiving push emails. Anyone, even the most casual user, will get time-sensitive emails that need to be read within minutes or hours, and the Peek simply cannot be relied on to deliver emails within a timely fashion.
Another problem I encountered is the UI design--the "simple" scroll wheel definitely takes some getting used to. This coming from someone in interactive marketing, so I'm familiar with the UI of most mobile devices and quick to learn. Still I found myself (gasp!) having to consult the manual to perform some operations.
I had no problems with reception (in San Francisco), but the lack of push email rendered this device useless to me within the first month. I had prepaid for three months, but canceled early. I simply stopped using the Peek. I can't recommend it to anyone.
