However, the push email doesn't seem work very well. Tried more than 10 emails, only 2 emails were pushed over, other emails where not pushed after more than 5 minutes, so I had to use manual sync to get them. However m2w emails were quickly pushed over within seconds.

Anything wrong with my phone, or my settings with hotmail? Appreciate any help.

I've been successfully using Hotmail for a bit over 2 weeks and have yet to have any problems with it. Like you, I have the frequency set to "as items arrive", and thats exactly what happens.

I've even tested it out, sending multiple e-mails to my Live Account and even to my Comcast account (which auto-forwards everything to my Live account). The reception time for me varies from 10 - 60 seconds (average of 30 seconds).

Make sure that the SPAM filter on Live is not sending your e-mails to the Junk box (that initially happened to me when I sent the messages to Live from my University account).

BTW, not sure if it's pertinent, but try it out with "Microsoft Direct Push" set to on in the Communications Tab.

Hope I helped.
