[From Eric Mann] Unusually good offer, the Peek Pronto with lifetime service is $299 which is actually a very very good deal I guess. "How good a deal is this? Well, on the one hand you have the typical smartphones. The contract you sign when you buy one will cost you something like $2,500 or $3,000 and give you 24 months of service. PC World estimated it’s nearly $4,000!. That does not compare favorably to spending $50/month for 1000 minutes on a normal phone. On the other hand you have mini-laptops or gadgets that kind of do email for you if you can find (or pay for) a wifi connection. Those will run you a few hundred dollars but don’t come with any connection." Read in full.
