I think that Ian is probably like a large number of users, if not the majority. How many actually "need" to have push e-mail. For me, I would be just as happy with a regular 5 or 10 minute sync or pull. You really only need push if you regularly need e-mails immediately. I think it would actually be too distracting to have e-mail coming in all day long in ones!
Obviously, there are going to be people that need push but probably not the majority.
I have to say, after listening to the podcast, I am pretty sure the HTC Blue Angel (or whatever you want to call it) would be what I go for right now. It is really too large as a phone but the convenience for me would outweigh the size. At least with a large unit like this the screen is big.
Maybe a combination of the Magician and the Blue Angel would be just about perfect. :wink: I like the HTC Universal but probably will not see one at a Canadian carrier anytime soon. :roll:

I love the PPC 6601 that I have. I really do.
And I think that the push mail is less necessary with my device getting my mail every 10 minutes...... although I used a Danger Sidekick for a while and loved the push mail it had. I would like to try the Exchange Hosted plan but don't want to wipe anything out.........
I had to start over with my PPC and when I set up the Exchange ActiveSync for Contacts, Calendar and Inbox, all 3 asked me if I wanted to combine or replace data.
I can't possibly see how a hosted Exchange solution would overwride that info on your device and wipe it.

That is what seemed so strange to me as well.
But it was a section that required an 'agree' tab, saying you are awere that this will wipe it clean.......... doesn't seem right. Might have to go with the ol' backup and give it a shot. Save myself trouble of fixing it all if it happens.
Of course, for me, it only makes sense to do this kind of thing if I am also syncing Outlook 2003 with it, and I know when you set this up for Outlook, you create a new empty Exchange profile, then just drag all of your stuff from your PST to your OST, and then that will be pushed down to the device. With 4Smartphone for example, it is $4/mo for device only and $8/mo for device+Outlook 2003 (and they provide OL2003 if you don't have it). I'd be doing the latter.
