I work for aircraft charter and organ donor opperations. Needless to say when an email for service comes in I can not wait 15 mins to get the request. I need an app that makes my droid recieve email as close to instantly as possible. Needless to say 2 mins can make all the difference in the world. With my BB, the email would come befor it even showed up in my outlook on my pc or on my webmail. Now, even with 3rd party app it is 5-15 minutes before I receive the email. I am not sure how BB does it, but I see people eveyday who need their email in a timely manner. I do not care about battery life if I can make the phone fetch every 1 min. also I can get ahold of an old BB account. Will setting that up fix my issue?

If you really dont care about battery life, then we could make it very close to instantaneous.
What do you mean by:
I can work on this app. I guess

Why not just setup an SMS alert service for email? SMS messages are almost instantaneous (unless there's some problem with the service provider) and don't even need data.

I do think BlackBerry has something to do with the mobile service provider, pushing data similar to how SMS messages are pushed (not pulled by the phone). Android still has to pull data (I've seen some push services but I think they have to maintain an active link with server, draining battery.) [Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere.]

Just my two cents.
