- How does the Facebook app on the iPhone work? Does it integrate messages and updates into an inbox like the App on a BlackBerry does? Or do you have to open the App to check for new messages? Basically, do you get real-time notifications on the iPhone (like a BB)?

When my G-Push notifies me of new mail, it puts up a # of notifications on the fb application. I took a look at the settings on the iphone and the only two settings you can use are shake for vibrate (on/off) and something else. As far as I can tell, it's not real time notifications and you've gotta reload/open it up each time to check your wall/updates/msgs/etc.11-23-09 09:02 PMLike 0 - Yeah email notifications for now. I'm sure PUSH will come soon. The iphone FB app beats the living crap out of the BB one.

I thought Apple set up Push servers for things like the FB app so that you could use it to get real-time updates. I REALLY want to like the iPhone, it is simply awesome. But there are so many things that I take for granted on my BB that I think I would have to give up if I switched.
If I have a Hotmail account associated with my FB account, can I at least get real-time notifications of email, and subsequently FB updates? Or does Hotmail not support Push notifications either?

- If you're using a jailbroken phone you can get PushMod which let's you change the intervals to 1, 3 or 5 minute fetch intervals11-26-09 09:17 AMLike 0

Make a gmail account (I DONT CARE IF U DONT WANT ONE) in a gmail account u can add up to 5 different email accounts(hotmail, showbizpizzamail) whatever.
Then setup the gmail as it will show you on the page as gmail supports PUSH if u set it up as exchange. DONE all your email will now be push and you can even send email as whatever email is being forwared to that main gmail account.11-26-09 04:40 PMLike 0 -
- once u have gmail go to settings and accounts and import. Once you verify the account u add you'll be able to send email from another address though gmail. Just make sure to setup the MAIN gmail account on the phone through exchange(no you dont need exchange) yah you'll have to spend 5 min but onces its done it's done and it works. After that just think of the gmail account you made as you login if u dont want to use gmail.11-26-09 04:58 PMLike 0

- I just checked out my wife's Hotmail account and it looks like you can only forward it to another MS type service/domain. Not a Gmail account. Darn. I guess the 15 minute interval isn't that bad. I just with Apple would let all the different email services out there run through their Push servers.11-26-09 05:37 PMLike 0
