Sony Ericsson P910
Palm OS; Email PUSH
Hi,
My boss has a treo 650, and he's interested in getting a p910. I have a few questions about the phone:
1) Does it do "email push" or is it "push ready?" In other words, how do you send / receive email on the phone? Do you have to go online in order to see that you have a new email?
2) My boss has over 2,000 contacts in his "Palm Desktop" software on his PC. Is this phone compatible with this software? If not, is there a seamless way to transport this many contacts over to the phone from his computer?
3) Can the phone store up to 2,000 contacts, or more?
4) How does it compare to the treo, in general? Are there any major shortcomings to this phone in comparison to the treo?
Thanks for answering my questions.

1. Haven't tried yet, but I believe it can.
2. I had to transfer a smaller (~200) contact list from a PalmOS phone to a P910a. I ended up exporting the Palm contacts as a vCard file, manipulating it a bit to make it acceptable to the P910a and it all worked. With hindsight, it would be easier to just export Palm to Outlook then import Outlook to P910.
3. With 64MB of ram I would't worry.
4. I haven't used a treo, so I can't say.
