I tried it and uninstalled it the next day. It has a nice potential but limitations are too severe. First of all, I am speaking of a Symbian version, your experience with other OS's may vary. Here are couple of quirks I could not get over:

1. Inability to collect mail from multiple Yahoo accounts. Heck, there is not even an option to sign out/in once you passed the initial set up. I have two Y! accounts that I use regularly and would like to be able to switch between the two. Symbian version does not have that ability for some reason.

2. There is no option to get rid of tabs/channels. All I want is mail/weather/search. I don't need all other crap (stocks, news, scores, etc...) but there is no option to turn off those tabs.

Again, this was on the Symbian version of the software only. If you want something close to a true push mail for free/very cheap take a look at the mail2web service.

this isnt anything new. i had this on my A900/Blade earlier this year. It didnt work and it was slow as shit. i unistalled it and never even bothered to try again.

Maybe try windows lvie search (the downloadable app)

I just replaced my phone so I discovered these new iterations yesterday. WLS looks a little more like what you guys are looking for

Aye


today was the first time I used it.....not all of the drainage was due to yahoo...but I noticed it.

I had an IM client running though. I'll hit you people up with the info tomorrow.

gmail ftw

gmail has some catch up to do.

aye. all they have is a java client.

If they could rollout a windows mobile client with push capability (even IMAP) and some sort of gmal interface it would just kick ass.

Right now the mobile access is convenient, but not very useful

Google needs to team with Verizon to get a client out for BREW phones. =(

I'm probably wrong on that.

Well, VZW has Mobile Email and you can probably plug in Gmail's POP settings, but I was talking about an actual Google Gmail BREW app.

Push email requires an exchange server. This is a java app that most likely "pull email" every second.

I don't think yahoo has official *bare* pushmail

1. I was referring to the idea, not DirectPush.

Anyways, I will eat my words or whatever...damn things sucks and I don't use it anymore....

too much battery usage and it took too many clicks to remove any Paris Hilton updates (seriously)

The RSS reader was okay I guess.

So basically you're tied up with other Yahoo crap?
