new member in need of advice

[jschmidt]

hey guys! i have been a crackberry addict since about september 06. I have an 8700 from tmobile and love it! I would like a little more connectivity though. I would like instantaneous email notification (this one has lag) and the ability to view all my history of emails in case I miss something ... I am sure I am missing plenty, but what do you all recommend I do? Get a new blackberry or sign up for one of their server things? What all do those do? I'd love to hear more on what I am missing out on. Thanks!

Welcome to the BBForums.

If you need the instant push, you'll need a BES hosted server, or at least gmail or yahoo on BIS.

I am not sure about your "view all my history of emails in case I miss something", what do you mean?

well i was just hoping to be able to see the emails i sent out and such from my home computer. is that possible? As for gmail on BIS - I have gmail so can I have emails picked up instantaneously?

[JSanders]

Yes, gmail is fairly instant in delivery to your BB.

If you send emails from your home computer and want to view that sent email on your BB, you will need to CC or BCC yourself the email.
