Always found it odd how my blackberry used to beat out my enterprise outlook, while my droid gets emails about 10 minutes after they're actually received.

Was your Droid configured to get email by EAS or POP/SMTP?

I never get more than 10 seconds delay on emails with my Incredible (EAS), let alone 10 minutes...

Why tour over the new bold for vzw? I've used em both, seems like just the tour with a trackpad instead of trackball...oh and soft touch plastic/rubber on the back on the bold. I had both at one point, liked the bold better.

Haha, shit sorry I meant Bold, I don't get them in my territory and forgot they actually renamed it.

Creative! I've been meaning to test if its possible with this solution to send outgoing emails from each respective account instead of from the Gmail account. I know its possible with Outlook by creating a send-only SMTP account for Gmail, but I haven't tried it yet on Android.

Also, if you outgrow Gmail, you can upgrade to Google Apps Premier for only $50/year which will give you enterprise-class contacts, calendar, and notes via ActiveSync (EAS). One more thing on my to-do list to try...! haha :D
