Google Sync: Now with push Gmail support

Perhaps I'm missing something, but the iPhone instructions (<a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=apple" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=apple</a>) tell you to add an Exchange (ActiveSync) account in your iPhone settings, rather than modify your existing Gmail account.<p>This is fine and dandy, unless you already have an Exchange account configured, e.g. for your work email. When I went to add another Exchange account, my iPhone told me that "Only one Exchange ActiveSync account can be configured."<p>Maybe there's a way around this, but Google's dire warnings suggest there isn't ("Important! Google Sync uses the Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® protocol. When setting up a new Exchange ActiveSync account on your iPhone, existing data may be removed from your phone.")<p>I'll be Googling for a while, but helpful suggestions are appreciated.. (and no, 'suck it iPhone n00b' is not helpful... :))

Now, if I could only have more than one Exchange account on my phone.

Why would anyone want to be notified whenever they get an email? People are already incessantly and compulsively checking their email every few minutes, to the detriment of their sociability.<p>This makes email less fun. The few seconds of anticipation when you hit the refresh button on the email client and it starts downloading emails are enthralling; Did that girl from Match.com reply? or is it yet another spam from Amazon/Dell?

Just enabled it on my iPhone. Verified with test emails. Joy...1 year and 2 months delayed.

<i></i>* I would hold off on adding this to your iphone for now. It's very slow and buggy.

The messages in my "All Mail" folder appeared after a fairly long delay, but I'm still not getting any messages appearing in my Inbox.

I wonder if this is related to the fact that my Blackberry hasn't received any of my Gmail messages since this morning

Not bad, except it does the Gmail "delete" = "archive" thing. Any idea how to make "delete" = "delete"?

I'm finding that even with my Nokia S60 phone ("not yet supported" according to the Google PR stuff) I'm getting Gmail pushed to my device. Worth trying if you haven't already.
