Target sure loves CrunchGear and we love them for throwing down two Peek e-mail devices (review) for us to giveaway. Now don’t go scoffing about just because it’s not some hotsy-totsy-hotdoggin-showboatin gadget. Not everyone has access to e-mail on their phone and chances are you know some of them. Here’s your chance to hook them up for the upcoming holidays or feel free to treat yourself.
How can you win?
We don’t want to make this too hard, but not very easy either. To win one of the two Peeks, send an e-mail to contest at crunchgear dot com with the headline “Give me the friggin Peek!” Or you can tell us why you need a Peek in comments. Get your entries in by 3PM EDT on Monday, December 1 and we’ll announce the winner later that day. Simple, right?

shipping to singapore? intersting device indeed!
I need a peek because my laptop just BSOD’d, I dont have a BB and I need an alternative email on the go option.
I need a Peek because a keyboard would bring me tears of joy and solace. Damn the touchscreens of the world, damn them all and their multitouch-multipurpose-multilateral bs.
Pretty please?
I need a Peek so I do not have to use my precious iPhone for those pesky work emails. Separation of church and state? No, separation of work and LIFE! C’mon give “Stevie a Peek!”
We need the Peek because housing split personalities is a chore. You ever seen 2 personalities try to check email from 1 machine. Its like a fight to the death, and in the end the room is wrecked and both of us are unconscious.
So to help this singular duality, give us the Peek
I’d love a peek to give to my mother-in-law. I can’t stand to talk to her on the phone and if my wife gets on with her, it’s hours of chatting. I’d like it much better if we could all converse via texting.
Are Canadians Allowed?
If So I need one badly.
I hate to admit it but lately the magic has all but disappeared between me and the Crapper. After 25 years I’ve kind of grown tired of our relationship, and need something to spice it up again, something like the Peek that could help me forget that I’m on the John!
I need a Peek because it would be cool to have one
Well technically I don’t need the Peek, but I do think that my dad would dig it. He’s a non-smartphone user, but is constantly traveling (because he works about 5 hours away from where he lives) and staying in touch with him by email isn’t easy. I’m sure he’d love the simplicity of this device.
Looks thin, seems nice.
My current cell phone is an LG VX6100 that was cool like 4 years ago. I’d love to get email, but the pay at small startups isn’t amazing and my phone is incapable of such a web 2.0 task. So please, GIVE ME THE FRIGGIN’ PEEK!
PS If it helps I’ll grovel and/or post a video on my blog showing me using the device and basically pimping CrunchGear!

need a peek so i can access my email everywhere without paying too much.
My wife got so mad at me that she threw my new smartphone across the room and now I’m back to a 3 year old Motorola Krzr. – T9 just isn’t cutting it. Please save me !
I need a Peek because the company that just laid me off took back my Blackberry and only paid two weeks severance for my three years of service because they mismanaged themselves into bankruptcy.
I totally need that to give to one of my coworkers for x-mas – he’s got an old phone that you practically have to hand-crank to get it to make a call, and if you even say the word “email” you have to reboot it.
It’s like an NES system, you have to blow on the SIM card to get it to start up correctly. Yikes.
Get him a peek!
I need a Peek! to give to my dad as a birthday gift (he turned 58 on this past tuesday).
Are you guys giving these away so you can get your November phone bill paid? Lol.
I need a peek so I can give it away as a Christmas gift.
Dear Sirs,
I have desperate need of new Peek device; due to issues with my royal family, I am currently in posession of only one mobile device, and this prevents me from doing my duties.
I need to have two devices so that I can check one email account with each hand. My current method of using both hands on one email account has resulted in over 50% drop in productivity.
Please process this Peek mail device to me in speed post, or we can use an safety escrow account if it makes your more comfortable.
(sic) :)
Need a Peek so I can be even more hooked to my work, constantly checking my email out of paranoia.
Need a Peek because it looks pretty sturdy. My kids have thrown my BlackBerry ~500 times and need something to replace it with. Grazzie Mille, Friends!
Give me the friggin Peek! I need to bring my wife out of the dark ages!
I need a Peek! Looks great for hacking/modding.
I need a Peek for one very simple reason that has a whole story behind it.
I am staff for a number of company’s that run hobby gaming conventions. When I go, I bring a suitcase full of games, and another suitcase for my clothing. Rather than have to carry another THIRD bag that is just as heavy so I can bring my laptop, a Peek would allow me to have full email connection at any convention I end up at, which is at least one a month.
So, to simplify, so that this geek who doesn’t have a smart phone can check his email no matter how geeky of an event he is at… or just while in an office meeting.
I need a Peek because the owner of the company is cracking down. On pretty much everything.
I was told that I socialize too much and spend too much time on the Web. (I’ve worked through almost every lunch since I started here and most of my web surfing is related to my job as a developer. Just sayin’)
I need a peek so I can not feel like a hypocrite when I show my ‘Early adopter’ tattoo to the girls
I need a Peek because my little web development company can’t afford phones that actually do email yet :(
I need a Peek so that I can review the device on my blog. Cant wait to try it and write them up.
well , guys , I don’t really know how to say this ..
promise you won’t tell?
.
.
.
really?
really? really?
ok , here’s the thing but sssht
I’m actually Santa and I will be getting tons of email in the next couple of weeks , and , of course I’ll need a peek .
Now , if I wouldn’t have decided to disclose my little secret I’d just say I’m a little bit of a gadget freak or that I get quite a lot of reporting I have to acknowledge and send feedback to almost realtime.
But none of those is true of course , what is true is that I’m Santa
Give me the friggin Peek! purddy pleeees!?!
I need a peek so that I can loose the phone and still be comunicated.
and by communicating I will improve my spelling, specially when talking about the word communicated.
Cause I can’t afford BlackBerry.
I’d give it to my dad who is a total computer illiterate, and literally calls me every time he’s trying to send me an email to make sure that he’s working the ‘computer machine’ correctly. I point out to him that this defeats the whole purpose of sending me an email, and I hope and pray that giving him a Peek would simplify things to the point where he’d just send me the friggin’ email.
Please, we’re talking about my sanity, here.
because i’d give it to my 2-year old daughter so she can chew on it and test it’s durability…. then i’d give one to my wife.
I need it for my computer-illiterate but phone-savvy mother-in-law
Well I’m looking for a Peek
Not too strong, not too weak
Got the e-mail that I seek
And it won’t leave me up a creek
Yes, I’m hunting for a Peek
Service just 5 bucks a week
Got so few settings you can tweak
Granny can use it and not freak
Well I’m needing me a Peek
Hope the batteries don’t leak
Connectivity not for the meek
That’s why I’m rapping at my peak
Yo.
Word.
I really need one…im broke, and a geek and… did i mention im broke?
“Need” a peek? I don’t really “need” it. I WANT it, but I don’t need it.
right now i use my ipod touch for email but that only works where i have wifi, the peek would be awesome.
why not?
why not?
I need a Peek because I cant afford the brutal iPhone monthly fees. Not to mention I’m a gadget junkie and need to get my hands on one of those. Give me the friggin Peek prease.
Give me the friggin Peek and I’ll post a video of myself emailing fan mail to Biggs with CrunchGear written on my forehead.
(I’m also open to other suggestions)
I need one because I can’t check email on my phone. Plus this would allow me to be “disconnected” after hours(just turn the thing off when I want to), but still have my phone for personal use.
Win Win Situation!
I need a Peek because I am a huge geek and when I’m away from e-mail I tend to freak. So please give this poor bereft geek a peek or I will keep trying to rhyme like this. Eek.
I need a Peek so I can hawk it for another hit of that sweet, sweet white stuff.
I need a freakin’ Peek because my 17 year old cousin’s mom doesn’t believe in cell phones, says they are tools of the devil and cause tumors, so I need to get a hold of him somehow. Also, it would probably be in his benefit not to hit college as a virgin. He needs to holler at his breezies.
