Take a Peek at this new device from Sprint...
 

T-Mobile US appears to be getting serious about brave new frontiers. Check out the new Peek device they will be offering: http://seekingalpha.com/article/9384...t?source=yahoo

EDIT: thanks anderbr for the correction

?(scratches head) - Article says TMO will be offering it. Besides, I thought Sprint was n810w ?

Oops! I had Sprint on the brain from another article, sorry...

Hmmm... I'd say, "who the bleep wants such a thing?", but "middle-aged women with kids" I ain't. Maybe they do want it.

I'm sure some people would like it, I'll take one for $100 once someone hacks it to run Linux.

Re: Take a Peek at this new device from Sprint...
 

I think the price (device and service) is going to be really attractive to some people.

Re: Take a Peek at this new device from Sprint...
 

I want one.

It's precisely what (and all) I need when out and about. I want my phone to be a phone, my tablet to be a tablet (without needing an expensive data plan), and a small email device for email. This hits my needs and price points.

And, look Ma!, I'm not even a middle aged woman with kids! (Benson, you're SO SILLY! Silly goose Benson.)

That's silly gander Benson, thank you. :p

I can see this being attractive to traveling buissness people, from the corporate standpoint (the company, not the employee). As a ggaurenteed connection
but 100 bucks, for 20 a month
I dont see the ues
especially since anyone that needs email 24/7 needs a phone too

I get why tmobile would want to sell it, and ****, if people buy it theres no reason not to


but I cat imagine many people that would want it

But i am the oppostie of the demographic, so that makes sense

I actually won a Peek, it should arrive soon. I'll do a review of it when it comes.

i was listening to the 2nd podcast just posted today from gdgt.com (the new site and podcast from ryan block and peter rojas formerly of engadget) and about 40 minutes was devoted to the new phones and os's for phone devices. interesting listen
they seem to be very interested in android and the new htc stuff much less interested in the n810 although they have one and use it

"you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know"...

Re: Take a Peek at this new device from Sprint...
 

lol

he tried very hard not to have to many "you knows" and made mention of it at the beginning of the podcast

Re: Take a Peek at this new device from Sprint...
 

I think the $20 a month is the killer. They could pretend that people were winning them for free and make a lot of money just on that fee.

Edit:

My roommate was sure she would buy one until she heard about the two-point type. Now she's sure she won't.

who, "fluid interface"...

sounds like someone is hooked on koifish...

btw, ones i read who where talking on this, i knew how the dice would land...

apple could hand them a truckload of dirt and they would praise it like a gift from god...
