Is the Storm gonna be like the Bold where you don't have an option to turn off 3G? And no wifi? WTF
I agree with you, If push is so important just get a Blackberry its that simple. I just got rid of a BB for the iphone, to be honest i hated my BB ringing every other min because i got new mail it got annoying after awhile. It would be good for people whos business was email oriented. Now i check my email when i want.
Push is a great idea. It'll save a lot of battery life since your device will not need to connect to a server all the time. The server will tell your phone when you have a message.
I plan on using it once we get push for gMail. That'll be the day.
I know that is why I have two email addresses. One for friends and family and one for work. I'll only check my work one during work hours and the other whenever.
I can see it annoying, but hopefully you'll be able to set times for push to work on certain accounts. Besides, I would think the iPhone's customer base is consumers and not enterprise - at least not yet.

It [probably] has to do with corporate networks and wifi security. Besides, if u have a bb then u also have an expense/data account so u dont really need wifi then.
well, even though now official release day has been announced, it looks like the storm will be out in a week or two! Do you think 2.2 is ready?
Even though, like many of you said, 2.2 will probably be pretty underwhelming. Unless there are a bunch of hidden features... Which I can hope for, but am seriously doubting.

Much like 2.1 then
2.1 is OK (ish) but purely from my pov:-
Apple 2G 1.1.4 BT worked perfectly with my car and 3G with 2.1 doesn't!!
Cut'n'paste would be great
Text forwarding would be useful as would the ability to manage texts properly
A proper and fully-compliant BT stack would fantastic (file sharing and all)
unfortunately I don't see any of those things happening until 3.0
So lets start the speculation on 3.0! When will it be released? What will it have? haha jk
(October 3rd, 2009. Copy/paste, video recording, STILL NO MMS, revamped sms with added features, and the ability to teleport to where ever you place a call! )
Push will significantly decrease battery life on an iPhone, for email or anything else.
Take MS exchange on the iphone for example. Apple's push machanism is done at the software level. Therefore, there's always an open idle connection with the exchange server, constantly waiting for a new message. This open connection stays open, always, and therefore drains battery life like no other.
Fetch is far more convenient as it will maintain your battery. Simply put, after it checks for messages, it then closes the connection, unlike push.
Blackberry's are far more superior in terms push email technology. This is because push is done at the network layer, and not the software layer. IE: a new email comes and is forced to the phone, without the phone waiting for it. Think of it like a text message. Is your phone maintaining a constant connection with a 3rd party server? No, it's only connection is with ATT, and the text message is then pushed through their network, through the reception/signal connection. (technically data, but they don't consider it to be)
On another note, this is all coming from myself, an iPhone guru. I love this phone, but unfortunately it doesn't have very good push email.
In Canada, the Storm is being released on Bell and Telus (CDMA) networks. I was told that HTC? model will be giving the iPhone major competition when it comes out.
Well, in my view, it would make a huge difference for social networking and proximity / location based apps - because you can only run one non-Apple app at a time - this would allow you to be doing something else, with your status on "i'm here in the usual bar for the pre-drink meetup tonight - anyone want to join for food later?" and have it be a way to increase possibilities social events. Organising ad hoc lunch, meet up to go over work, catch up with a friendly old acquaintance who isn't normally in town... dating...
etcetc
I think if you go over your apps, then think what they could notify, and what about, you'll see there is a lot more possible.
Well, the storm is set to hit the US market this friday. anyone think that 2.2 will be out on thursday? I just have a feeling that that just might be brewing!!
that little joke is a bit old and tired. I have seen it at least a couple times and I could care less.

sorry but the storm is out in the UK, you know, the home of Vodafone
so Apple have already failed to get 2.2 out there not to sound mean or anything, but do u guys use this amazing site called google....god there have been speculations and rumours that 21st November (Friday) is the day it might be released.
