This contest is closed. The winning number is #7 – congratulations Julie From Inmates!!! I hope you enjoy your Peek!
For the longest time I swore that I didn’t want my email at my fingertips every minute of the day because I didn’t like the idea of being THAT connected. I assumed that I would become a slave to email and twitter if it was that accessible. But I finally gave up the ghost this past fall and got myself a Blackberry, and I have to say that I absolutely LOVE having my email at my fingertips And strangely, being connected all the time has actually been freeing in some respects.
I find that since I can catch up on things while I’m waiting in the kindergarten pickup line or the checkout line at the grocery store, I’m not so eager to hop on the computer the second I walk in the door. And I can send a quick tweet from the kitchen while I’m helping the kids with homework instead of walking into my office and sitting down at the computer where I would undoubtedly get caught up in 110 other things. I would never go back to the dark ages now.
If you’re still living in the dark ages, I’m sure you have your reasons. Perhaps you fear being a slave to technology. Perhaps you aren’t willing to commit to a 2-year contract. Perhaps you feel the expense isn’t justifiable. I’m totally on your page. I felt the same way for a long time. But if you aren’t ready to commit to a smartphone, you just MIGHT be interested in this:
The Peek is the latest and greatest email and texting mobile device, retailing at an affordable $79 at Target stores, Amazon.com, and Costco.com.

Shooot. First rarely wins. This looks like such a COOL device!!!! So hopefully I break the first-is-the-first-loser trend!!!!
Darn it, I don’t have a blog to write why I would want one of these or to link to.
I think that is pretty darn cool though. I can’t justify the monthly fee on my regular cell phone but $20 is pretty reasonable. It would be nice not to have to jump on my computer only to be swept away into the land of the internet or the land of the huge pile of things to do around my desk!
I have been wanting one of these for awhile plus it would be nice for me because I check my email alot. Thanks for the giveaway.
i wrote a post, and mr. linky worked! go me! i would love a peek because it has a full keyboard
great giveaway, have a happy valentine’s day!
This has to be the hardest one yet! 150 words…that killed me, but I got it done. lol
Thanks!
I just posted with Mr. Linky. I love it because you can “feel” the keyboard versus an Instinct.
I feel lucky!
I posted about the Peek, your contest, and about contests in general. I’ll be curious to hear how this one goes. And I’ll be happy if I can hand my wife a Peek next week!
Hi, my name is April and I am obsessed with my emails.
Seriously, do they have a help group for this? I am drooling over this adorable little gadget! I love emailing! Receiving them is awesome … who doesn’t appreciate notes from friends and notices that someone has left you a comment on your blog?!? Hee, hee. I am jealous of my hubby’s iphone with his internet access – all the letters displayed as a keyboard, how convenient is that!? This would be awesome … no more scrolling through to find the letter or word you are looking for! Lovin’ it!!
I would love to win this for my husband. He is an over the road truck driver and this would be great to keep in touch with him when he’s gone. I’m not much a texting person, I like emailing better, but i also work on a computer all day and can email any time.
Like Andrea, my hubby is an OTR truck driver. I had this huge long post typed out about how I miss him so much and then I remembered the 150 word limit… so I whacked it all up. LOL
Come on… I really, really, really, need this booger.
I would love to win this because I go to my mothers about 3 times a week and she is always telling me to get off her computer that I can wait till I get home to check my emails. She knows that once I get on she doesn’t get her computer back for awhile. Email is the only way my cousin and I can keep in touch and we always send each other emails about twice a day. Thanks for the chance.
I love being able to connect with people all the time. ANd I am not a phone person. So this would be perfect to have when you need to connect with friends, family, co-workers while you are out an about. THe Peek is the perfect solution. I rarely use my PC except to connect and with this wonderful device, I can have the best of both worlds without having to drag a laptop and trying to find service.
I’ve been saving for a netbook, this would really hold me over!!!
This would be a gift for our granddaughter. She is in her second year of college, works part-time and has little time to keep in touch with us. This would make us first on her list of people to connect with on a regular basis!
I get a ton of emails, I also have a small child to take care of so I also spend a lot of time off my computer. I also spend a good deal of time away from the house with no access to my computer so this would help me not miss any important emails!
I HATE to talk on the phone, so this little cutie would enable my email addiction nicely. Plus, it’s just too cool!
This is perfect! I could wipe a bottom (not mine), nurse a baby or clean up a spill WHILE emailing! I would love to win this. Thanks for the giveaway.
I am constantly on the move. I have 2 kids who love to participate in sports and activities and my husband and I own a couple of small businesses that keep us both moving. I’d love to be able to connect with a handheld device like this. My cell phone is about 5 years old, which we all know is about 25 years in cell phone years. Needless to say, I don’t have an email option. I’d love one of these!
Just checking to see if you’ve picked me yet….
=)
I’m gone 3 days a week with no internet access and by the time I get back my email is swamped and it takes me 3 days to clean it out just to leave again and come back to mega emails. It’s a vicious cycle and this would be perfect to keep me in contact and up to date with my emails so when I do get home I can enjoy my PC and blog more~! Thanks for Sharing and Happy Valentines~!
Like the other moms, this would be great for my lifestyle. Thanks for the contest. Hope I win!
YIPPEE!!!! I am so excited!!! =)
my fiance lives in texas and we need to communicate…this looks cool thanx for the giveaway
I soooo need this as a present for my son who can’t seem to afford his darn cell phone to keep in contact with! If I won this ever, it would indeed be a blessing!
Well… so much for comprehension, this contest is over so congrats to the winner! But hey, you got all you need to inform me of what’s goin on. Love your site!!
