the only true "push" tecnology is blackberry as they own the patent and won't give it to anyone else. but from I think this is an interesting article:

Good luck,

WM5 with the Security Feature Pack is what most would consider a true push e-mail, at least in the way it behaves from an end user perspective. The latest Exhange 2003 Service Pack is also required.

Exactly. WM5 (with the MSFP) works in the same way that Outlook does. The client (WM5 or Outlook) sends a notice to the server, notifying it that it's available. The server, when it has something for the client, sends a notification to the client that new mail is available, and the client requests it.

thanks for the replyes, i got a mobile device with WM5
but what do you mean with MSFP, is it a feature pack on the device or server?

 

[anawrocki]

It is software on the device. Be aware however, my experience has been that this is not generally an installable piece of software, but rather a piece of software included in the device "image".

This should be included in all new devices but if you are working with older devices it may or may not be an option.

The older devices will do more of a pull replication, however it does not work nearly as elegantly. Also, not all security policy features are supported.

Right. You want something with the MSFP installed. And, you want the MobileAdmin component installed on your Exchange box to allow you to remote wipe a device if it's compromised.
