Peek Drops the Price of the Pronto Down to $60

GeekSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:35:31 -0700

The Peek Pronto - the nifty email device, which offers push email functionality, can be used with five email accounts, and includes unlimited texting - has just dropped in price from $80 to $60. This price is currently available from the Peek website, with stores like Radio Shack and Amazon offering the same price tomorrow.

If this fancy Peek has too many bells and whistles for your liking, you can always pick up a basic Peek from Target for $20, which includes a free month of service (service is around $20). Something I recommend for people who don't need a high-tech smartphone, but want to be able to check their email while on the go.

GeekSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 10:35:37 -0800

Dying to get your hands on a Peek, but not interested in monthly fees?

The slim email/text-only device, which impressed me when I had it in my hands last year, is available today only for a free lifetime service deal.

The catch is that the device will cost you $300 - normally, the device is $80-$100, plus $20 per month for service (which offers unlimited emailing and text messaging). So if you've been eying the Peek and can afford $200 more, you'll get free email and texting for life!
