Please pardon my missing the last couple of meetings, but I actually did get a Peek for my wife for Christmas and as such am ashamed to show my face.
http://www.getpeek.com The only two issues I have with it are: 1. Their Customer Service is not good, however a. I knew that going in. b. Although their customer service is worse than AT&T, I would disagree with anyone who brags about AT&T's customer service as I have personally experienced it. 2. MS Exchange support. They do support MS Exchange 2003 and 2007 but not so much 2009 and my wife's work uses 2009 MS Exchange / Web Outlook. If we could get the device to work with her work e-mail I would be satisfied with it. Basically the device works like it should where the customers gets unlimited e-mail, unlimited SMS texting, unlimited Facebook, and unlimited Twitter. There is also a Weather and Map app (weather works - map not so much as it is based on the T-Mobile cell tower -- no GPS.) The customer has to prepay for one year's worth of service (at a rate of $15.00 per month.) I know that Android smart phones are better but I will not pay the $80.00 - $120.00 per month smart phone bills that people pay for such a devices (this is a big time deal breaker -- don't need all the extra features and will not pay this much.) Currently my wife pays $35.00 per month for a regular AT&T cell phone (and this is actual monthly cost after all taxes and fees) and an effective $15.00 for the Peek. Hope to see you all again soon.
