You can go to www.seven.com to learn about Seven. Basically, what Seven is... Its used for pushing your email to your phone. To get the email onto a phone like Touch Pro, one can either use pull email (which comes by defualt using poutlook where after a certain interval, your phone checks for email, sees if a new email arrived and if it did, its fetched on to your phone.) What push email is on the other hand, instead of your phone doing this work all the time of checking for email uselessly (useless when a new email didnt arrive) it basically pushes the email to your phone. The way it does it is through sms gvateway. The Seven sees that a new email has arrived, sends transparent text (you never see it) to inform the phone to fetch the email. The biggest advantage is that you get your email real time - right when it arrives in your inbox.

well, if I could ever get my boss's to use email it might change, but nope, I keep getting useless voicemail without any valuable info.

Wanted to use something like Sherweb, 4Smartphone, etc., but I already have enterprise Exchange Push email for work. Only one Exchange account per Windowsphone, unfortunately. I heard that might be changing with WM7, but not certain. Does Seven work around this issue and give you a sort of virtual Exchange by using the SMS gateway?? I would be interested in that. I'm going to take a look. Thanks for the info!

so If I use Seven and get my emails to my phone in real time and get about 50 emails a day, wouldnt that hurt my battery life alot more then if it just checks every hour or two? I still dont get the point of needing your email checked every 5 minutes or so unless you are a business man type person.

Well for me I stay in touch with more ppl via while they at work so I need it popped every 5mins I stay logged on my IM but perfer email cause I can have they delay if I'm busy I hate when someone IM me and I'm busy n they keep IM me cause they think I'm by my phone. But that's just me tho

Personally, this is what I'd NOT like to see in email:

The need to run a client-side app at all times, (ex. Seven) which runs in the background and makes sure it's active to receive the transmission from Seven-server regarding new email. (The technology of it is not clear to me tho, does it maintain a persistent connection to server thereby utilizing periodic data and thereby affecting battery?)

What I'd like:

An Activesync like application that literally takes 5KB or so in RAM and just stays up to "listen for signals", which when it receives one, it will fire up ActiveSync and do a pull. It'd be great if I could sync my GMail, MSN, and corp pop accounts.

I already run Dashwire, and cannot afford to run Seven in the background too! Or else my battery goes down down down.
