Re: Sprint Mobile Email vs regular ol' direct push?
Like already mentioned, Sprint Mobile Email sends an encrypted text which is deleted/ignored, and only used as a notification event for new email. I've seen the contents of these texts when I had Sprint Mobile Email configured to push emails to my device BUT no client on the device to receive them.
Treos with PalmOS have a similar application which basically scans incoming text messages for keywords and then triggers system events depending on your configuration (ie perform a Send/Receive within the email client) - decent "push" email without the push email hit on battery life.
