Right -- there are multiple possibilities for the arrows, depending on what is the "dominant" IP connection. It's roughly in the following order:
1. IP over your cellular network (arrows on top of 1x/EV/G/U);
2. IP over WiFi (arrows on top of the WiFi icon);
3. IP over AS (just the arrows).

Curious ... given that everything I've read about DirectPush says that it uses the GPRS connection. Maybe it is for the HTTPS connection to the server and then using ActiveSync over the primary Internet connection?

Direct Push will indeed only work over a cellular data connection. Not sure what happens if you have WiFi running at the same time as cellular data.

The main downside seems to be that the device doesn't provide you with an audible or vibratory alert when new email arrives, unlike the Blackberry. Could be a showstopper :cry:.

It should with
most devices if the Messaging/Inbox applet is not in the foreground. Apparently this behavior is OEM-customizable, and some HTC Wizard OEMs decided to turn it off. Not quite sure why. :? My 700w vibrates faithfully as emails come in.
