Peek email-only handheld now available for pre-order, in stores Monday

by Nilay Patel, posted Sep 11th 2008 at 12:27PM

Man, the Peek email-only handheld must really be, uh, piquing people's interest -- it just went up for pre-orders and two of the three colors are already backordered a week. The $100 device should also be showing up in Targets nationwide Monday, so if you're as curious as we are they'll be easy to impulse purchase in person as well. Too bad that you're locked into that $19.95/mo data plan as your only option, though -- if we could somehow use our existing data plan or even pay a flat fee upfront for lifetime service we'd be way more likely to snag one. Anyone else picking one up?

If I didn't already have my Moto Q9h on AT&T with unlimited Data - I probably would. Especially if you could get this baby to have a web browser on it too!

After the hackers get done with this, it may very well be worth the $20 a month

Will the hackers get it to dual boot WinMo or Android?

If you look at the cpu this uses, you will find out that it is only good enough for email, not internet.

Highly Ranked

Say WHAT?!?!?!?!!? 20 GD dollars for E-MAIL?!?!?! My sero plan is 10 bucks more a month for 500 minutes plus internet access/unlimited text/unlimited picture mail on my Mogul.
Anyone know whose network they're gonna piggyback on?
