It may not be true Push e-mail but the average corporate idiot can't tell the difference between pull vs. push e-mail. Moreover, they just antied up $613 million because they got scared over a BS patent claim (which I completely disagree with). But the fact remains, they took a chickenshit approach to settle the claim instead of fighting it...does this convey confidence in them or their executives? are you willing to take that leap? It's time for BB users to grow up and realize RIM has been no less propietary than Microsoft and Apple and stop crying because others want a piece of the pie. Think I'm full of BS...take a look at articles discussing future BB handhelds with MMS or the number of non-RIM OEM handhelds being introduced in 2006 that support BB Connect. Clearly RIM understands the necessity to redefine itself...do Crackberry users understand? what the phuck do U expect…of course their stock is going down with new Symbian and MS technology being introduced with e-mail technology.

It still isn't - to use it you have to steal software from T-Mobile Austria for crying out loud. In Europe there are a dozen push-email solutions already available - and to be honest Europeans use email differently.

I also know that many if not most current BlackBerry users would not switch. My concern is, howerver, that the wireless email market will grow much larger than the 3 million users RIM currently has and that Microsoft will be very effective in marketing to and gaining net new subscribers. RIM was the first to market with this type of technology but Apple was the fist to market with a really good personal computer. What really worries me is that RIM's BlackBerry Connect, a program that allows you to connect to a BES from hardware other than BlackBerries, hasn't taken off.
