Just that, does this device have push email or will it have it in an update? (like the pocket PCs)

No it doesn't have it. Nothing has it - yet.

Will it have it? It's hard to say. It's the exact same situtation as the Pocket PCs. MSFP has been released to manufacturers a while ago. It's up to the manufacturer and the carrier to decide if they want to release this update. So far, no one has said they will and no one has said they won't. All we can do is wait and hope. :(

Well I guess I will sit and wait with the rest of you SP5 owners. I placed an order for one today :D

Congrats! The SP5 is a great phone - it seems to have the looks and features that everyone is after. Let us know your thoughts when it arrives. :D Is this your first Smartphone?

Would you believe it it arrived today at 12pm, almost exactly 21hrs from me placing the order! Unbelievable.

Loving it so far. Good size and feel, is quite fast, PIE over WiFi works really well, no memory problems yet (and all my apps are installed in RAM!). Still need my 1Gb miniSD to come to do some neat stuff with it :D

Got VNC working from it too! QVGA screen is absolutely GORGEOUS!! :D Its so clear, bright and the high density just makes it look stunning!

Yeah the SP5 has everything, and I mean EVERYTHING!! :D Fantastic!!

I have had two Pocket PC Phone Edition devices before the SP5 (XDA II Mini and imate KJAM).

I did buy an imate Smartphone (the original) off ebay for cheap ($80!) to play with to see what it was like. Didn't like the low res of it, nor the seemingly clunky interface. WM5 on the SP5 is heaps better. The XDA Mini was better, and the imate was just a toy to fiddle with for a little, and I sold it back on eBay (for $160 :lol: )
