Email Push Question
Looking at my first smartphone and the BB's are in the mix ... what I'm curious about is the whole email push thing. My work mail is not an exchange server. Also, if I want to check my email when I'm not at work I have to log in via a dedicated website, much like if you check your comcast or verizon personal email, you have to go to mail.whatever.com and log in w/your name and password .... can this type of email be "pushed" to the BB? Or, is it only if you have the whole exchange thing going on?
I'm pretty technical, but this completely outside of my realm of info since I don't use it, I work for a small company.
I was thinking that a BB might be a waste if the email push thing doesn't work w/o exchange? Thanks.

Well you have a couple of different choices here. With a BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) account you can setup up to 10 different POP/IMAP email accounts. Like OmegaWolf747 mentioned you can connect a Yahoo and a Gmail account and your email will be sent to your BlackBerry within seconds and usually before you see it on the internet login pages. This is based on the agreements that RIM has with those vendors. If however you setup an account say through your company or some other local ISP in your area, you will still receive the email just fine as long as you know all the necessary settings to setup the account but your email will be delayed in receiving to your phone by 15 minutes. However, you are able to send out emails from your phone ...
