Emoze Gives Dumb Phones a Push
Emoze has been a top player in the push email realm for quite a while now. Known for its consistent victories in speed battles with Blackberry, Emoze can likely push new mail to your smartphone faster than any other option on the market. There have been a few drawbacks to the service in the past such as an automatically-added Emoze signature, support for only one email account at a time and handset limitations. The third item mentioned however, has been a point of focus for Emoze in recent history however. Beyond its Symbian support Emoze has added Windows Mobile and even the iPhone to its list of supported devices. As of next month dumb-phone users (sorry guys) will have the ability to push email to their handsets with the speed and efficiency of a smartphone. Made possible with the addition of a java client, Emoze will become one of the most accessible push solutions on the market. The java version will work on a variety of popular handsets from manufacturers like Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia (S40) and will accompany several UI enhancements to all Emoze clients such as new graphics and screen rotation.
For this to work properly and sync with your phone, your PC must be on and running a “desktop connector” program. (At least that was the case the last time I looked into this). Probably not a big deal for some, but they never go out of their way to tell you that…

I remember trying Emoze….say goodbye to your battery life. I would be down to 1/4 of a battery before 2 on a Treo 700wx using this software. Mostly, it was because it kept a constant (not a heartbeat) connection to their servers. Yes, its fast, but I need battery life more than an extra 2 seconds in push time. I had to go back to ActiveStink before seeing the light and getting a rock solid, reliable, and battery efficient Blackberry.

I’ve been using Blue Whale Mail on my dumb Nokia S40. Works pretty good. Used emoze on my E62. Great free alternatives but still not as reliable as my Blackberry.
