Peek, the cheap and simple email-only device is set to get a v2.0 makeover. The new model, called the Pronto, was briefly leaked on the company’s site, where the picture above was snapped.

Peek’s own blog, called “Geeky Peek" commented on the leak:

What is Pronto? I don’t have much to say, but I will give a leak away.. it is much, much faster in every way possible.

The time to open a menu on 1.08 is .09 seconds. The time to open a menu on Pronto, .04 seconds!!!!

This is great news, for consumers at least. A cheap, fast e-mail device could certainly take a crack at the BlackBerry’s lower end. And with the top-of-the line CrackBerries being eaten by the iPhone, RIM could be facing some trouble in the future.

Stay tuned on this one. We’re excited to see what the Pronto will look like, especially now the “leak" has been confirmed. It’s almost as if the whole thing was deliberate…
