Original Peek now $20

blouepeel.jpgAmazon has the baby blue Peek on special at $20, with free shipping.

If you want unlimited mobile email without a contract (the plan is $20 a month, cancel/reup any time) this is a no-brainer--but remember than the latest version of the operating system, with more features, only comes on the full-price Pronto edition.

Older peeks (versions 1.04 to 1.08) they will upgrade free. For 1.09, you can buy a $30 upgrade.

Isn't the Peek hardware the same across all models? It's just the software?

I think the new one has "Pronto" written on it.

Peeks 1.06 and newer have better keyboards. That's about the only hardware difference.

Please be advised that while the software upgrade is dead simple to perform- (in about 20 minutes) It requires the use of a special cable. (Sorry folks...though it looks like a regular USB, it most assuredly isn't.) The cable, for those so inclined, is available from peek for around $15.

I actually got mine for $14 at Target.

And the difference between a regular Peek and a Peek Pronto is cosmetic and software. You can also buy a USB cable that fits and upgrade it yourself.
