Hi! I am a current Blackberry user (and abuser) and very recently I have been considering an iPhone when I am able to upgrade. I think it has been all those darn commercials! Over 25,000 apps? ::drool:: My only hesitation is no push email. Perhaps I can live with Gmail checking every 15 minutes. We shall see.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. I'll be lurking around the forums and no doubt becoming increasingly jealous of your iPhones.

Welcome to the forums. You have a few options for push email - exchange and mobileme - currently. If you went with either of those two options you could always forward your gmail.

**And for a free push solution you can go with an Yahoo email account.

Just remember Yahoo won't forward unless you pay for it. I switched to MobileMe and love it. Got it on Ebay for about $65.

Yup and that's what I planned on doing if I went with a Yahoo account.
