I've been using this for some time, and I always assume that if I know something, everybody else already does, but I've just searched and couldn't find it mentioned here, so.. Did you know it's an absolute breeze to get push Gmail to your phone via ActiveSync? And you don't need a PC.. If you've got a Gmail account, just open ActiveSync and in 'server address' enter: m.google.com then hit 'next'; * +

on the following screen enter your Gmail username and password and that's it! You can choose in .options' to sync email, calendar, contacts and so forth - I've just got the 'email' box checked.
