I've signed up for a few demos but none of them are really top notch... Can anyone reccomend a good site to try? I want it to have OVER THE AIR OTA Sync capability as well...

THANKS

I use 1and1.com exchange service. It's about $7 a month with 1GB space. It also has push email.

One with similar features is 4smartphone.net. They have a 30 day trial and cost about the same.

There is a free service at http://live.mail2web.com/. It has some limitations like no Outlook pc support. You just access email on your phone or using OWA.

Good luck.

I use www.mail2web.com Live service.
mail2web Live

It's hosted exchange and is free. Also Outloow Web Access. It syncs with the phone over the air. It has a few limitations - you have to use youe mail2web email address for sending, and you can't sync with desktop Outlook unless you upgrade to a paid account. Works for me though. It has email aggregation, where you can link your POP accounts and bring your email into the web Outlook and push to your phone. If you reply to the message, it will be from the yourname@mail2web.com address.

As for a full blown service for hosted exchange, many people recommend 4smartphone.net . It supposedly gives you full capabilities at a modest price, with $3.99, $6.99, and $9.99 plans.

Do any of these services hook up (or can they) w/ paid MSN/hotmail accounts. I have a couple of hotmail accounts (one that's my old hotmail account, paid 2gb version) the other is my office live business website account.

Can any of these hosted exchange solutions grab that mail and push it out to me (assuming I get a new phone w/ push) ?

I tried most of them out and ended up with 4smartphone. Seems to be the best price/features combination for me. It looks like there are 2 versions of Outlook Web Access. One is a premium that looks almost exactly like outlook desktop. The other is a crappy little basic version that's not so great..... I now have Over The Air sync capability as well. This is a great solution for someone with a Mac. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home.... so it's nice to get to work on my contacts and calendar at home. Although the web access Outlook for Firefox, IE Mac, or Safari is only the basic crappy version, not the better one...
