Direct Push? Exchange Server?

[thankins]

I am a little confused here. I have a cingular 8125. I have it activesyncd to my two computers (at work and at home) it shows all my events/calendars/task. I also have my email setup, and if i have a wifi connection or GPRS connection, I can check my email.

My question is what is direct push and all that? I just found www. emoze . com that says it will push you contacts and all for you. but i dont understand that. If it connected to my computer wouldn't active sync do that?


On a side note so i dont start a new thread. What is a good Alarm program (lightweight) that woud work
The one on there now...well sucks! :)

Thats the difference that DirectPush makes... u don't have to check ur mail, it comes directly to ur phone when it reaches ur server... so no more "send / recieve"... it's OTA n live...

mail2web offers this free of cost too n well, u would know the difference when u use DirectPush... the simple pleasure of having mail arrive at ur handheld without initiating an exchange...

cant help u with ur alarm issue, though... never really felt the need for one...:)
