My new gadget to play with...

I've been wanting to upgrade my cell phone for some time now. Basically for me to be able to acess my emails when away from a computer, or get my calendar and lists to try and stay organized. However I put it off as it will be costly. Not only for the new phone (one with a QWERTY keypad), but I'd also need to upgrade my plan to accommodate more time on the internet. The phone upgrade would cost between $75 - over $200 depending on the phone. The additional monthly cell phone charges would be $30-$40 each month, not including taxes.

Yikes! All I want is to remotely check my emails. Then lo and behold I found a solution!

On Friday I was looking on the internet when an ad for something called Peek caught my attention. I spent the -next hour looking up all I could on this...prices, options, applications for what I needed. It looked perfect! There are two options, the Classic and the Pronto. I could have ordered the Pronto, but wanted to pick one up asap, lol. This has been something I've wanted for over a year, but didn't know it existed. I got it at Target. The charcoal color was 14.95, the red and blue were 19.95 for the classic version. I bougt the Classic as I figured I'd save a few bucks in case I decided I wanted the Pronto.

Less then 2 days later and I knew I wanted the upgrade, which I can do online...and did. With the upgrade I get more then email. I also get unlimited text messaging, no delay in emails and the ability to open and read attachments. Cost per month is $15 - $20 a month depending on how many months you pay for. Oh and on classic I can check 2 email accounts, on pronto it's 5.

As far as easy to use? Very. I've typed this entire entry on my Peek and sent it here with no problems...except a crazy toddler dancing to the music at the end Horton Hears a Who.
