Guest GothTeddy Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 I just synced my mail, nothing new, 0.9k sent 0.6k received...
Guest fraser Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 do we know how much data is used on a standard send and recieve with no email going either way? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are threads on this topic already; folk were testing this on the first Smartphone here a couple of years ago. Do a search, IIRC there were results posted in those threads.

Guest fraser Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Looking at my last bill, when I had my SPV, I was syncing an IMAP mailbox every two hours. My usage was 3.5 meg and I didn't ever use GPRS for anything else on my old phone, nor did I send a lot of emails. This would be good for businesses. Anyone that needs prompt notification of email will benefit. On my two hour cycle, you could not have a conversation with someone, or even expect a reply. This is e-mails weak spot, where MSN Messenger, SMS and the like have taken over.

Receiving your email literally seconds after it has been sent can be very advantageous. Of course, different people have different needs. If you don't require the email immediately, then you are better off polling your server...me...I'll probably pay the £27/year...seems like a good deal to me...just my 2 pence worth.
