Peek Speaks
Peek is simply connected. This blog is simply Peek.

Dear Peeksters,

Every week we get emails from Peeksters asking how to do various things ranging from “How do I view an image on my Peek?” to “Can I update my Facebook status from my Peek?” So today I thought it would be helpful if I sent everyone an email jam packed with cool tips and tricks.

If you’re too busy to read this email now, you might want to save it for later. Just choose “Save email” from the main menu and when you want to check up on a tip you’ll be able to find it in your “Saved folder.”

Hope you find these helpful — Happy Peeking!

1. Want to view an image? If there is an image file in one of your emails, “View image” will appear as a menu option. Just click on that and the image will load.
2. Need to move to a specific part of an email you are writing? Just hold down the “SHIFT” button and use the scroll wheel to move left and right through your email.
3. Want to send a text message from your Peek? Just compose a new email and instead of an email address, type in your friend’s 10 digit cell phone number (don’t use any spaces, hyphens etc). Remember text messages can only be 140 characters.
4. Want to select multiple emails at once? Just hold down the “SHIFT” button and use the scroll wheel to highlight up to 50 emails. This is a fast way to delete a lot of emails, or mark them as read (or unread).
5. Want to open an email faster? You don’t have to select “Open email” from the menu — you can just hit the Return button (that’s the one that looks like an arrow below the Backspace button) and the email will open immediately.
6. You can use the same trick to immediately delete an email — just hit the Backspace button instead of using the “Delete email” option in the menu.
7. Find it annoying to delete emails? You don’t have to! Peek will clean itself up if it gets too full.
8. Want to avoid having to type in email addresses? If you use GMail, Yahoo, Hotmail or AOL you can download your online address book onto your Peek. Just go to “Contacts” and then select “Download Contacts” from the menu.
9. Did you know that whenever you send an email the recipient’s address is automatically added as a new contact?
10. Need to quickly go to the top of your Inbox? Just press the “T” button and you’ll go straight there. There is also a shortcut for going straight to the bottom of your Inbox — just hit the “B” button.
11. Want to change the appearance of your Peek or the sounds it makes when you get an email? Go to “Peek Manager” and click on “Themes” to change the color of your screen or click on “Sounds & Alerts” to change your ring volume.
12. Not sure you are getting emails? If you turn your Peek off and then on again this will guarantee that if there is a network connection available you’ll get them.
13. Going to be away from your Peek for a few days and don’t want to be overwhelmed by old emails when you return? Simply delete your email account from “Peek Manager” and then set it up again when you return.
14. Writing an email and can’t find a symbol like the “+” sign? Just select “Insert symbol” from the menu and you’ll find all sorts nifty ones.
15. Want to personalize messages sent from your Peek? In “Peek Manager” go to “Email Accounts” and select “Edit Account” from the menu to put a personal touch on your signature.
16. Want to know the weather? Send an email to weather–at–getpeek.net with your zip code in the subject line.
17. Need a common question answered? Just send an email with the information request in the subject line to ask–at–snapask.com. For example if you want to know the status of Continental Flight 14 you would just write in the subject line “flight continental 14.” This service works for common questions such as stocks, traffic, wikipedia, sports scores, and movie times. If you have a more unusual question you can ask the Mosio community by sending an email to ask–at–mosio.com
18. Want to update your social network from your Peek? Just go to Ping.fm and they’ll give you a special email address that you can use to update almost any social network including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, MySpace and many many more.
19. Want the latest software for your Peek? Our Geeky Peeks are constantly working on improving Peek’s software. There are three ways to get the latest software. If you are pretty techy you can order an upgrade cable from the Peek Boutique and do the upgrade yourself. You could also just send your Peek to our NY office and we’ll flash it for you. The third — and definitely the coolest — way to upgrade is to visit a local Peekster who has the cable. A number of Peeksters who have mastered the art of upgrading have offered to upgrade other Peeksters in their area.

20. Last but not least…. If you need help outside of regular Customer Care hours (9am-9pm ET Mon-Fri) just send an email to feedback–at–getpeek.com. If one of us is awake we will get back to you as soon as we can. It won’t be instantaneous, but we’ll do our best. You can also post your question on our Discussion Boards — there are loads of Peeksters out there who are even faster at answering questions than we are and are eager to help!
