Is this a first?
I'm a Verizon customer, and I'm interested to see what people think of this service and how well it works.
Do any other service providers offer something like this? I'm not aware, but I haven't looked, either.
How much of a threat is this to Blackberry? It certainly is cheaper. I'd love to see Verizon provide a cheaper BB plan than $30 per month.

Verizon says this push email to consumer phones is a first for them.
But you need to have an Exchange server for it to work.
...
And if you have an Exchange server, you can use push email for free on AT&T or T-Mobile.

oops, hit submit too soon.
... if you have a Windows Mobile phone. That may also work on Verizon... I'm not sure.
$10/month seems like a decent deal at first glance, but if you have a decent business class phone to start with you probably already have free (or included) access to push email. Personally, I wouldn't want to receive my business email on a normal phone...

you guys are all missing the point.... its for NON WINDOWS/ PDA PHONES.... you know, regular phones like the razr 2 or voyager (im not saying those are compatible, just an example)
...
i am aware of that. mail2web email account can be accepted on any mobile(non-WM) with exchange email just like iphone.

Sprint offers a free application to push email to your phone. They have for awhile now. I get my gmail and yahoo pushed, but I haven't bothered trying work or anything else done.
Nope, not the first, and not the last either.
...
a lot of people are mentioning free programs that'll already do this on some windows mobile phones are you still needing unlimited data plans for your phones for these??
The verizon app I'd imagine would need vcast or whatever the unlimited data feature is....thoughts anyone?
