Remember my story on dumb devices? Well here’s the ultimate dumb device. The Peek Pronto is actually quite smart. The cosmetics on this new version are slightly different – a better keyboard and a new color, basically – but under the hood you get push email, texting support, Exchange support, and a new development environment for those so inclined. Peek is also announcing the availability of the Peek in India making it one of the first companies to bring its devices to the land of Vishnu in a long while.

Think of this Peek as the Peek for business folks. Entire organizations are already migrating from BlackBerries to these little buggers and Exchange support makes things even better. A full press release follows along with some hot images. We’ll be getting our Pronto in this week and we’ll give you a full report. The Pronto will retail for $80.

PEEK PRONTO FACT SHEET

Peek Pronto:
Mobile messaging device

Peek Pronto
Features

Simple, but powerful
Building on the successful launch of its Peek mobile email device, Peek (www.GetPeek.com) is adding an exciting new product to its lineup – the Peek Pronto. Peek Pronto responds to the growing demand for mobile messaging that is both affordable and powerful.

Peek Pronto builds on the original Peek – not by
adding unnecessary bells and whistles – but by further enhancing
the core functionality of mobile messaging. The key features of
Peek Pronto are:

* push email;
* unlimited email and texting;
* compatibility with Microsoft Exchange;
* ability to view images/PDF/doc files;
* access to up to five email accounts;
* ability to search for emails on the device;
* 50% improvement in speed of the
software;
* larger font size option.

Peek Pronto retails for $79.95. A flat monthly fee of just $19.95
provides the user with unlimited emails and unlimited text
messages – substantially cheaper than a comparable
smartphone plan (for details see www.Peekonomics.com).

While Peek Pronto offers powerful new features, it continues
Peek’s philosophy of a stylish device that is easy-to-buy and
easy-to-use. There are no contracts to sign, and no hidden fees
or “gotcha” charges.

Peek Pronto takes just 2 minutes to setup and works
automatically with all major email providers including Yahoo!,
Hotmail, GmailTM, AOL and many more.

Peek Pronto’s full QWERTY keyboard makes typing easy, and its
large color screen and straightforward navigation makes mobile
messaging simple.
