Yeah me too.

1159696 2010-12-14 19:27:00 Are you sure? The whole point of ActiveSync is that it holds the connection open and pushes mail to your phone as soon as it arrives, and as a result my [exchange account] email shows up on my phone within a second or so of appearing in Outlook...

Yes, push mail will use more battery than polling will - this is generally caused by the need to maintain a constant connection to the server, rather than being able to forget about it for a few minutes and go completely to sleep.

Yeap sorry, you basically said the same thing as me in a much better way. IMO its a bit ugly and not a true push if you have to keep a constant connection to the server, and active sync has to, as it has no idea where to send the mail otherwise (phone changing IP etc). BlackBerry does not do this, but it requires a whole lot of infrastructure to do a true push, and your email going through RIM's servers.

Through exchange?
Turn off cached exchange mode if you have it turned on/your exchange server is local.

1159699 2010-12-14 22:55:00 Well yes, it emulates exchange, I have that setup so it syncs my domain email / calendar 100% between my Desktop, Cellphone, Tablet and laptop. It's freakin awesome and 100% FREEEEEE!!! :D Chilling_Silence (9)
1159700 2010-12-15 06:18:00 Funny, I found that with the iPhone and my Android N1 that mail shows up faster on the phone than on the desktop client :pI think the difference here is that when I'm at work, my PC is around 1ms away from the exchange server, whereas my phone is not - I don't generally use the wifi connection at work; I just leave it on mobile data unless I need an internal IP for something.
