Peek stimulus package
Dear Peeksters,
We know that these are tough times. Folks everywhere are looking for ways to save money. Since that matters to us too and we’re always looking for new ways to spread the word about Peek, we thought: what about combining these goals?
So we’ve come up with a little list of things that you could do that would be good for you and good for us. Of course you don’t have to do any of these things, but if you’d like to save some money read on….
1. Tell a friend about Peek.
For every friend or family member you speak to who becomes a Peekster, we’ll give you two free months service. We’ll also give your friend a month’s free service. Everyone’s a winner!
All you have to do is email us at friends@getpeek.com after your friend has activated their account and tell us their email address. There’s no limit to this offer — i.e if 3 of your friends become Peeksters that would be half a year of free service for you!
2. Pay 12 months in advance.
Our 12 month pre-paid option is just $199.95. This means that your service will be only $16.66 per month. Over the year you’ll save almost $40 by paying in advance. Just click here to buy this plan.

3. Visit Target
The next time you’re at your local Target store, ask for the Electronics Department Manager. If she or he is there, tell them how much you love your Peek. Also mention that Peek is doing a survey for all Target Electronics staff. All they have to do is go to http://target.getpeek.com and take the quick survey. They’ll get a $25 Starbucks gift card and we’ll give YOU three months free Peek service!
To get your three months free service just email us at friends@getpeek.com and tell us the Electronics Department Manager’s name, which Target Store they work at, and what day you visited the store.
Peek is already great value, but with any of these actions, you could save even more money. In fact you could easily make your Peek service free! Hope you have a great weekend.
Happy Peeking!
Amol,

Hot, fresh software
Maybe you’ve seen it mentioned in a review. Or heard it cryptically spoken of on a board post. We’ve been whispering about it in the halls here at HQ. What am I talking about? 1.08
Drawing inspiration from Snoop Dogg, Peek’s Chief Geek has got some new software and he’s dropping it like it’s hot. Translation – if you bought a Peek in the fall of ‘08, go here and follow the instructions to upgrade your little Peek. You’ll be typing faster. More shortcuts. Lock your device. It’s glorious, trust me.
Head over to GeekyPeek for all the info: http://www.geekypeek.com/?p=155.
On the run!
Peek is handy dandy. Where am I meeting my friend today?

Peeking is a bargain — especially with baby in the house
One customer raves about the value — Peek saves the day with baby in the house. (Peek is normally just $19.95 for unlimited email and texting…while most data plans are “$40″ plus taxes and fees and often also SMS charges.)
–
I’ve been using a Peek for a couple of months and I love it! In fact, I recently sold my iPhone and transferred my contract to someone else and use the Peek for all my texting and email.
My wife and I just had our third daughter and we have been looking for ways to trim an already lean budget. Today I saw that Peek was offering a lifetime service with the purchase of a new Peek. I called customer care and asked if I could upgrade. $219 later I had the lifetime service with my existing Peek.
With AT&T I paid roughly $40 a month for my email and texting plan. Over two years thats $960. Now, thanks to Peek I’ll pay $220 over the next two years.
That extra $740 will come in handy with diapers,formula, etc.
Thanks again for a great device at a great value!
What a deal
Hey, we read the newspaper. These are tough times out there and people are looking for ways to save money.
We think a lot about ways to make Peek an even smarter value that’s also simple to use and super stylish. That’s why we made it such a low cost device to buy, with no contract obligation, and a tiny monthly fee.
But in our quest to make it a better and better deal…we decided to give one of our customers’ interesting suggestions a whirl. We’re just another one of those high-tech, fast-moving companies, I guess.
Amol, Peekster-in-Chief
Update: After 24 hours, boy oh boy did people like that “Peek for Life”! Well, we want you to be Peeksters for life too! We think the low, low up front price of $79 with no long term obligations is a great deal. Did you know you get a big discount if you buy a year of the service fee up front? 12 months for the price of 10. But we are going to keep looking for ways to save Peeksters money!
The Kosher Gadget
Our customers are telling us that Peek is “good for the Jews”

Subject: RE: Thank you!
Hi,
A lot of Orthodox Jews don’t have computers or very limited access. If
this device gave them the email communication they wanted/needed without
the computer with very limited costs, you would have great success with
this market.
I haven’t been Orthodox all of my life which is why I still use the
internet and watch TV sometimes. If you need a liason to help you
explore these ideas and others, lets speak further.

The story from CES
The biggest gadget show of the year is over. The story?
Greener, thinner, and cheaper.
Peeky themes, every one.
Peeking uses 97% less electricity than emailing from a PC. And has double the battery life of other smartphones.
At 10mm, Peek makes the iPhone 25% thicker. The latest Blackberry is 60% chunkier. Yuck.
Cheaper? Well, at exactly $19.95 per month for unlimited email and texting (yes, that’s really it) — Peek will save you $1,000 over an iPhone or Googlephone or whateverphone contract.**
Details, details.
The foot traffic was down, no robots were announced, the hot new gadget was a name from the 90s — the year in gadgets is going to be about easy, practical, useful stuff that is suited to these time. That was certainly the story in the private suites at the Wynn; never mind the press releases.
And that’s where Peek made the big news.
We’ve had a great launch in Target stores everywhere, recently added Amazon.com and Costco.com, and soon you’ll be seeing us…oh, wait. Better not say just yet.
Signing off for now, Amol
** Really? Yes. 24 months times $15/month for texting plus $30/month for data plus $15ish/month for taxes and fees plus overage on minutes plus activation fees plus >$100 for the device…and a contract with a nasty termination fee. Peek has no contract and it costs you as little as $16.66 per month if you buy 3 months up front. Wild.
