Kev already knows me... hehe. I went back to Crack!

A) Push... well you can get push w/o MobileMe and Exchanging using Mobile2Web, but I've never messed with it as I have and use both Me & Yahoo. With this method you should be able to get push for Gmail. You forward your messages to an exchange or yahoo account for push.

B) Jailbreak is the way to go and QuickPwn 2.2 is the best method. You can then download IntelliSync for today type action. Sorry no "led" action.

C) Apps I like and used:
WordPress - Blog from the iPhone, great app.
WeatherEye - Just as good on the iPhone.
Twitterriffic - Twitterberry for the iPhone.
iBowl - Awesome free game. I was addicted.
1Password - Password storage.
NetNewsWire - Yes, pretty awesome substitute for Viigo.

Shazam - my favorite app. Always recognizes the song and saves them in a list for downloading later.

Another thing you don't have to worry about it memory leaks and app space. Go app crazy. I went 40+ apps and it didn't slow me down one bit (except when backing up the data, lol)

D) Carry your usb cable, lol. Although I noticed 2.2 is improved battery, still carry a spare just in case.

You can easily create "launchers" like the BB by going to the webpage and then hitting the "+" symbol and then hitting "Add to Home Screen" You can also use clipalizer to create icons if the website doesn't support it. Chase (my bank) and NFL.com do, both I've done the "launcher" for.
