hi all,

could someone explain blackberry email to me.

i currently have a nokia e71 and have tried various push email applications on it. the problem is, despite the e71's excellent battery life for everything else, when i enable push email it just kills the battery in approx 1 & 1/2 days. i guess this is because there is a constant data connection.

with a blackberry, is email sent like sms messages, ie not needing a constant data connection?

could someone also tell me the approx battery life while push (or whatever it's called on a blackberry) is enabled and no other phone functions are used.

i'm 90% ready to get a 8900 i just want to get my emails without having to charge my phone every night.

thanks in advance
