GMail or MobileMe?

[jesseshawl]

I also highly recommend MobileMe. For a quarter a day, my entire life is in sync with 'the cloud.' I have both a gmail account and a mobileme account set up on my phone, but only have the mobileme account active. that way, all of the email I send is going through the smtp.gmail server, but, I've got push notifications. I have messed around with googlesync for other devices like the blackberry, and must say that mobileme is 100% more effective and reliable.

Said this before and I'll say it again, if you have a Mac - hands down MobileMe is worth every penny.

Agreed x 1 million!

And if you have more than one mac, like myself, it's even better.

And if you have a girlfriend who can never remember anything, it's priceless, haha

I only have the 99$ account with 1 e-mail.

I keep my MacBook, iMac, and iPhone synced together instantly, then on her iPhone, I enabled my MobileMe account as well, but just to sync iCal and FindMyiPhone. Then she just uses her Gmail as she really had no reason for push.

I'd love to have a way to sync her contacts in case she loses hers but I don't want them in mine. Is there a way to do that through groups or anything?

actually google sync is really ease to set up and there`s some video tutorials for dummies if its too complicated for you, but i`m sure you can, my 10 year old nephew did it on his own to his 3G. i have never tried mobileme, but never will either, i`m not about to flush $99 down the toilet. not even for that locate my iphone thing wich does not works as adverticed, my friend has it and it will just give him an area not a pin point location; so unless you live in a rural area where houses are miles away from each other, but if you are in the city; good luck trying to find your iphone on a area where you have 30 houses in a 1/4 mile.

And I don't have a mac... so I guess Gmail is my best bet? Not really, it's not as fast as me.

Yo is it really that much better than gmail cause i am in limbo between going with either gmail/google or mobile me. I am a heavy email user I have been using gmail since it first showed up on the net.

I just set io the google sync and the push mail works great. I'm going to cancel my MobileMe account before my free trial is over.

how much faster can it be? i tried sending messages from all the other accounts(aol, msn, yahoo, etc) i have , and they all go in instantly; the most delay i saw was when forwarding mail from msn to gmail and then push to my phone; it took 3 seconds no lie. lol i love it. and yeah girl dont flush that $99 down the toilet; if you want? send em to me. i take paypal
