Reviews of the TwitterPeek Mobile Tweeting Device with Lifetime Service Included (Aqua)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Twitter Peek is slim, lightweight, and has a handy jog dial on the side for scrolling. You can do almost everything on this that you can do on the Twitter Web site. We also like the feel of the QWERTY keyboard.
The Bad: The Twitter Peek does not display full 140-character messages on the home screen, links in tweets lead to badly rendered text-only Web pages, you can only view images from TwitPic and no other Twitter photo service, you can't have multiple Twitter accounts on it, it can take a long time to load new tweets, and it doesn't load all the missed tweets between when it's powered off and back on. It is also far too expensive for what it does.
The Bottom Line: The Twitter Peek does not deliver a positive Twitter experience, which is especially disappointing because that is its only purpose.
