Happy New Year- here is the first of many questions for '09

I have a Curve and currently use OS v4.5.0.77 (Verizon). My wife uses the Storm (unknown OS, but the newest). I have noticed that it usually takes about 2-3 minutes for a hotmail e-mail to be pushed to her phone. In comparing them side by side, mine takes no less than 9 minutes and sometimes up to 30 for the same e-mails. What gives ??

Bump.....come on-not one response!

How big are the emails? Im using 4.5.77 and my emails are almost instant?

[donas2000]

To answer the question, they aren't big at all. The puzzling part is why is the Storm receiving the same e-mails so much faster when the two phones are side by side?

Are the Hotmail accounts setup the same on both phones?

not sure but the storm has so many bugs I would gladly wait the extra minutes using the curve. I ordered a new curve yesterday and sending the storm back.

I'm gonna guess that maybe this is a hotmail issue and not so much a phone one-- I could be wrong, but I use gmail and its almost instantaneous when pushed to both the Curve and the Storm, as has been the case with many other users I know. Yahoo seems to pretty instantaneous as well. I just know I've totally shocked my roommate before as she was emailing me something from her computer, and I received it on my phone almost as soon as she clicked send- yet her cpu screen said it was still sending for a few more seconds. Try setting up a free yahoo or gmail account just as a tester, you can always go back & delete it, and see how long it takes to receive emails.

I agree with holdene, I sent my crappy storm back and got another curve, which is what I originally had. I had the opposite issues with the storm, took forever to get my hotmail on it, but with my old curve, and now my new one, they are instant.

honestly, I think the curve is faster in receiving emails and the browser speed. I know that this may "sound" odd due to the faster processor in the storm, but I had both and my curve loads pages and receives emails so much faster.
