sougatadc 358 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 ^^^ You are correct! Better data plan like BB 299 plan, BB299 plan should be made available by all service provider on WM, Android and all smart phones. Configuring Gmail on WM is easy and scheduling for auto-SEND/RECEIVE is also possible. I'm using it (I've scheduled it for connection after each 30minutes)on my ASUS P552W and getting new mail notification automatically if there is any new mail. Reading new mail (with attachment) is very easy and the mails get downloaded and get stored for future offline reading. However, could not configure rediffmail.

kesav 127 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 RCom too launches push mail VAS services Reliance Communications announced the launch of a SMS-based email service for its subscribers in tie-up with Canada’s iseemedia. Mr. Krishna Durbha, Head – VAS, Reliance Communications said, “iseemedia provides the ideal platform to deliver our next generation service to drive more email usage among our existing subscribers.” We believe our push email service can deliver substantial revenue upside over the years to RCOM.” Anthony DeCristofaro, President and CEO of iseemedia said, “Mobile connectivity has become more important in everyday lives in India. With Reliance we have the opportunity to promote mobile email to its 92 million subscribers and as a mass market solution to provide full email functionality on nearly 100 per cent of devices used in India. This will allow RCOM to increase its customer base as well as drive the adoption of mobile email usage through new value-added services.” As opposed to Tata Teleservices which is offering the service at Rs 15 monthly rental, RCom has priced it at Rs 30 rental and 50 paise per SMS. source :: http://telecomtiger.com/fullstory.aspx?storyid=8336§ion=S176 This application is basically targeted for mass market mobile phones ( less than Rs. 5000) and certainly not for smart phone users.
