Added free public Exchange Server
Since I use the Treo 700w for personal and small business use, I do not need an Exchange Server, and do not need to sync with, or obtain email from an Exchange Server. I can obtain my email anytime I have an EvDO signal on the Treo 700w from my POP, or IMAP acccounts using Pocket Outlook. I do want to be familiar with the technology, and have experience using it, so I obtained a free public Exchange Server account from http://www.mail2web.com. Setting up the account was hassle free, and the account has worked as promised. I can ActiveSync to the Exchange Server account anytime I have an EvDO signal on the Treo, or a Wi-Fi signal with one of my other Pocket PC devices. You can sync contacts, calendar, and notes with the Exchange Server. If you want more capability, you can purchased low cost upgrades.

Palm released an upgrade for the Treo 700w which adds push technology from an Exchange Server. With this upgrade, email will automatically be "pushed" to your Treo 700w as soon as it is received on the Exchange Server. Once you do the initial configuration, all you have to do is have the Treo 700w on, and you will receive email automatically as soon as it is received at the Exchange Server. The Treo 700w upgrade is temporarily not available due to a problem with the installer. Once the upgrade is available again, I will upgrade the Treo 700w. I do not need push technology personally; however, I want to have experience with it. I will test the push technology using my free mail2web.com Exchange Server account. One of the primary reasons I obtained the free Exchange Server account was to test the push feature.  ¶ 1:09 PM
