Iphone has the best email service I've seen, it's very good. But in your case I'd just start cheap & see how the business works out before spending too much on a phone

There's the Blackberry, iPhone and Nokia E51. That's what 02 have come up with for us needing to communicate with Exchange.
Aye for work purposes, but it's for an internet online shop. So once an order has been recieved I can sort it out straight away. So work wouldn't pay for it.
Thanks for comments, I think im going to just get a blackberry
you can get a BB, or get a Nokie series 60 or 90 phone, and download the blackberry app. you can then set it up, however certain html scripts dont show up and various ssl certificates dont work.
if you need email in a professional and reliable way, any blackberry contract with anyone is fine.
works with any pop, imap, exchange, enterprise servers....

Just need to jusify your reasons for "needing" an e-mail phone.
If the company is charging £550 per day for my services, then a vailid justification is all that is required.

I have a Nokia E51. I can't recommend it enough.
I had IMAP set up for my emails, but I check it manually. You can set it to check every X minutes as said. You might want an Unlimited Bolt On though if you do that :)
The E51 also does POP3 and then Microsoft Exchange Server.
My boss has a Blackberry (not the latest ones, pretty basic one with QWERTY keyboard) and has had nothing but problems with it. Like getting 600 of the same email etc :lol:

Pretty much any phone can, nokia, SE, etc.
They all have email option under messaging.
I have mine check every 5mins. Just as simple as putting the Pop3 details in and setting the checking interval.

Majority of phones you can get it to check for emails every X minute(s)
However, what a lot of people do is create a GMail account, then get it to check your pop3 email accounts and because GMail uses IMAP it'll 'pushes' the emails to phone - that's how a lot of folk do it with iphones.
And yes, you need a Blackberry contract usually - O2 has the blackberry bolt-on for push emails.

Hi,
Basically I need a phone that has the option so when I get an e-mail it vibrates / comes up straight away.
I'm aware blackberrys do this.... I'm just wondering something. Do you HAVE to go on a contract to get the new blackberry phones? I'm with t-mobile at the moment, and don't fancy another contract with vodafone.
Is there any similar phones on T-mobile? It doesn't have to be a blackberry.
If I bought an unlocked blackberry, could T-Mobile add on the internet charge per month etc?
Not sure if its possible, if not I guess i'll have to get a new contact :(
Cheers for any help
