What a bunch of idiots. Never even heard of PEEK. Why in the world would I go from Verizon's large and fast network to a crap network like PEEK. Again... what a bunch of dumb freaks.
That's one way to get attention and another way to get people to not want to buy the device. I don't even understand why you would protest the storm launch when the devices are two completely different things.
Oooooh please sell me a device that doesn't make calls - Ooooh, I cant wait to get my hands on one of them. PLEASE!!! WHERE CAN I FIND ONE????? SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
So instead of being locked into a contract, you rather pay full retail price for a phone? That's what you what need to do if phone contracts were eliminated.
So instead of being locked into Verizon for 2 years, which you would probably stay in either way if you have a storm, but pay over $500 for a Blackberry storm.
Also, you need to learn that the Blackberry Storm is much better than you're crappy and ugly little Peek thing.
It's because it is smaller. Sure they could have done the same thing for cheaper but do you really want to carry around something the size of a computer? It is the same reason laptops cost more than desktops.
What's wrong with a contract? If you like a companies service, then you're fine. If they do something unethical like price hikes, that's usually legal grounds to get out of your contract. But hey, let's just email each other instead for a monthly fee. Much different then a contract to say "our device does not have a function unless you pay." Sounds like a life-long contract to me.
fuck verizon i hate how the7 cripple phones they have the worst customer service and the service sucks and is expansive if i want to pay more i might as well buy a tmobile phne debrandedmobile Or ATT {also sucks but way better then Verizon) and black berrys are over rated you can do the something and much more stuff with a Windows mobile or a S60 pluse the storm is unstalbe there coming out with updates every 2 days
The Peek would be a great Messaging device IF it was Smarter and Cheaper. $20 a month is too expensive for an email only device. If it can do Instant Messaging and Surf the Web with Flash. Then $20/mo. is a reasonable rate. But for email only $10 is the most people are probably willing to pay. If you this product to appeal to young kids. Put IM on a Peek. Kids would chat on this endlessly as a cheap alternative to texting.
Did I just watch a bad sales spiel? I think I did. Cheap marketing stunt.
Yes, contracts suck. If you don't like them then don't get one and buy the phone at full price. It'll be far more expensive, but those phones (ie. BB) are a lot better than what Peek offers.
Peek may be a good cell phone company but you wouldn't know it after this video.
This was stupid. The reason that phone companies (all phone companies) make you enter a contract is because they subsidize the actual cost of the phone to make it cheaper for the consumer to purchase. Through the life of the contract the company makes it's money back. I don't know about these dipshits but I prefer my wireless carrier to stay in business so they can continue to provide me service.
Peek is stupid, it is like the old Palm that had wireless through radio waves. Who wants to carry a phone and an email device? I can understand that it may appeal to a few people but I can not see this device making it in the long run. Would you carry around a ipod and a phone and a peek?
This is a fine video if you're making a point that contracts suck and should be banned altogether, but this is an advertising video & the point is just lost.
Give me a break... I don't think you guys have a bad device, but why would I want email only? Maybe if I'm some hermit teenager, but otherwise... I need to talk to people... Comparing your product to the Storm just doesn't make sense... sorry
I completely agree. The peek looks like a cool little device but to compare the two is silly, especially considering that each gadget targets two completely different markets... Viral marketing fail IMO.
aww thats so cute! look at the verizon people trying to make their own iphone release. lol they fail.

Ask yourself why phones cost more than computers? Maybe it's artificially high to support the 2 year contact marketplace?
