Turns out, T-mobile has a data plan for the Shadow that offers unlimited access, including tethering, for $10 a month. Even if it's EDGE, it's still better than only Email, and costs half of the monthly plan for this thing, although there is a contract. You also have to pay for Voice service, but chances are, you'll be carrying a cell phone around when you use this thing anyway.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[telepheedian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2009 10:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek issues call for developers, yearns to build Linux-infused model]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/peek-issues-call-for-developers-yearns-to-build-linux-infused-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/peek-issues-call-for-developers-yearns-to-build-linux-infused-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[@telepheedian - got a link for that plan?

It's a $!@#!!! cellular device using T-Mobile bandwidth.  Always-on e-mail.  Doesn't use (or have functionality) for a wifi connection.  AT $16.67/month if you prepay for 3 months and $15/month if you prepay for a year, it's a lot cheaper than virtually all the smartphone data plans I've seen to date.  That may change this year, but I haven't seen it yet.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cjstuff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2009 1:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek issues call for developers, yearns to build Linux-infused model]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/peek-issues-call-for-developers-yearns-to-build-linux-infused-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/peek-issues-call-for-developers-yearns-to-build-linux-infused-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[@chrismoo, nah the peek runs off a MVNO piggy backing on one of the major carriers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael Gillen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2009 9:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek issues call for developers, yearns to build Linux-infused model]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/peek-issues-call-for-developers-yearns-to-build-linux-infused-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/peek-issues-call-for-developers-yearns-to-build-linux-infused-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[Peek uses T-Mobile.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Spinfusor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2009 10:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek issues call for developers, yearns to build Linux-infused model]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/peek-issues-call-for-developers-yearns-to-build-linux-infused-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/peek-issues-call-for-developers-yearns-to-build-linux-infused-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[Who knew that such a niche device can still make some news.....

It runs on the T-Mobile GSM network. There are no contracts, no credit checks, nothing nasty. Just pure simple communication. I love mine ! It is a fantastic little device. Read about it at: www.getpeek.com<br><br>I carry a tiny flip phone that actually fits to my ear not like some slab or brick like many smart phones. I use Virgin Mobile for calling at only $49 for unlimited calling and I use the peek for all my email and texting.
