In an effort to appeal to the nerd rage caused by the recent BlackBerry outage, Peek is offering 50% off the Peek Pronto for the next 24 hours. Use discount code BBOUTAGE5 at checkout. Full e-mail from Peek with more details below:

Dear Blackberry users,

We hear you had a widespread, global outage for much of the business day on Thursday.

We nearly missed our dinner date because of it — next time we’ll only dine with Peeksters!

It makes us wonder why people are paying all that extra money — 3x more than Peek in most cases — for that service.

“Enterprise-scale, world-class blah blah blah”, huh?

Peek is the easiest and most affordable way to stay responsive and on top of your inbox on the go. At least, that’s what the Wall Street Journal, Time, Wired, BusinessWeek, The New York Times, and others keep telling us.

And for disgruntled businesses that are overpaying to keep their people connected — try this code at checkout to save 50% on any Peeks you order in the next 24 hours. Only good on a Peek Pronto.

Happy Peeking,
