HTML email?
I thought one of the features of Windows Mobile 6 was HTML email. My email doesn't look any different than what I had on my VX6700. What's up with this?

Is Exchange Server 2007 an expensive software download, just an update, or dependent on your email account?

Exchange Server is just that. A server running the Microsoft Exchange Server software. It is not something that is feasible to run on your own. ES is provided mostly in a corporate environment. If you don't have access to an Exchange Server through your job, you can use a hosted Exchange solution through a number of 3rd party vendors. Google "hosted Exchange" and you will find many. The cost is anywhere from $5 a month and up to be on a hosted Exchange server, but WELL worth it.

I'm considering purchasing the I760 or maybe the VX6800 (if it comes out soon). This will be my first PDA phone so I am confused on the email push/sync.
I would like to have my personal email address (a hotmail account) sent to my device just as a corporate email would be. Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated. I don't know if I would need to get a new personal email address or what.
Thanks
