Motorola Q
Push Email on the Q
I'm trying to replace a BlackBerry and frankly the automatic email checking every 15 minutes won't cut it for me. Is there a way to get push email? Is there a third party that can provide it? Even simpler would be forwarding email to the Q's email address, does the Q on Verizon have it's own email address? I like the phone and I'm trying to eliminate a device but if I can't get push working I'll have to stick with two devices I guess. Thanks for any help or insight!

I have not bought the phone yet but I too have a blackberry that I use to push my POP3 account and have the same or similar issue. I think I have found an inexpensive solution for those that don't have their own exchange server. You can sign up with mail2web.com for a personal exchange email account for $1.99 a month and can forward up to 5 POP3 accounts to that account. You can then set up activesync to do OTA push with the mail2web account. If you don't want to change your email address you can just set up the POP3 account to forward to the mail2web account and use the reply address of your POP3 account. The activesync with push from that exchange server is free. If you are game enough to try it, let me know if it works.
