I have gmail on my phone in mail. What would be the advantages of the gmail app? Would it be easy to switch my gmail from where it is now? I have no idea, but I must be on the web as it is sorted into threads and looks like web content. It was set up for me at the store. If the gmail app is worth having, can someone explain how to get mail going with it, please? Reggie

Anyway, push is when a service sends out notifications and your phone receives them. Like if you get a notification that you have a new text message, that's a push because someone sent it to you. Your phone didn't actively go get the new information. So, it uses less battery. A poll is when your phone actively asks services if there is new information. If you have an email program at home and you press control-m or f5 or some command to see if there is new email, that is polling and when your phone does that, it uses up more battery. Think of push and poll like passive and aggressive. Passive will use less juice whereas aggressive uses up more. -- Raul A.
