Free push email for Windows Mobile and Symbian phones
Emoze claims its free push email service is “the world’s first free and secure push email and PIM service for Windows Mobile smartphones and Pocket PCs”. The Emoze service uses a mobile client on the PPC and a PC Connector application running on any Windows PC to provide encrypted push email and PIM synchronization to Outlook. The service reportedly runs on any WM smartphone and Pocket PC as well as most Symbian Series 60 phones and does not disrupt normal phone calls. You can download Emoze from the company’s web site.

Sprint and Cingular already offer this type of free service if you have a compatible device. Company called Seven is used by both of them. So, while they might be the first to not be going thru a cellular service, they are not the first to offer such a service.
Matt, I just called Sprint Customer Service, and they had no clue about Seven. Can you provide more info?
Seven builds the client for Cingular and Sprint – and others – just go to http://www.seven.com and check it out. CS probably doesn’t have a clue about it.
Here is the link for the same thing at Sprint – http://www.sprint.com/business/products/products/pcsBusinessPersonal_tabA.html – The download for the client is under the resources tab.
Verizon Wireless does Wireless Sync. The service is “free” in that it is included in the only data plan you can get.
Would have been much more interesting if these guys had a J2ME or BREW client but then they would need to go thru the carriers I guess to make that happen!!
