Blackberry

Hiya,

Does anyone know any Blackberry internet services ?

Would like to use a blackberry to receive e-mail on from a pop account.

Many thanks,

S

You are confused (or I am). Blackberry is a system that uses a special
server to push email messages to the handset. It isn't pop3 or smtp,
but a bespoke protocol, which you need the special server for.

If you want to get email by pop3 on the move, you can use a Blackberry
or just about any other mobile that supports email.

You don't need a Blackberry internet service if you want to read pop
account, unless you want a service that collects mail from a pop3
server, then sends it on by Blackberry.

I can't see the point of that. Why not collect it direct from the pop3
server, and save the expense and complexity?

Certainly vodafone's mobileemail.vodafone.net service will push pop
mail to a BlackBerry
