Hi,
Just took delivery of my sparkly new iPhone. Been with BlackBerry for as long as I can remember, but now got a chance to change over to iPhone and grabbed the opportunity.
OK. So first point of note for me is, with my BlackBerry I used to get notified of e-mails whenever they came through - Even if the screen had switched off I was always assured that the BlackBerry would notify me soon as an e-mail or MSN message came through, with an audible noise or the status light would change to flashing red if on silent/vibrate only - - - I do not seem to be able to set up this status on the new iPhone, is it possible ?
Is it possible to make the screen turn off to save battery life, but the phone to still be ready to receive MSN or E-Mail messages ? Seems to me that when the screen locks, it´s actually going to sleep fully.

The iPhone does not come with an LED indicator unfortunately. The rest of the smartphones do, but Apple has chosen not to include it in all four generations. I doubt it will be included in future generations either.
You can increase your ringer to maximum before locking and if you have your phone out of pocket, it will chime if you have a new email. If you have your iPhone on vibration mode, itll vibrate.
You can download secondary applications such as Boxcar which will send you a push notification when it has detected you have received a new email.
Your screen will light up and Boxcar will state you have received an email or MSN alert.
As far as MSN goes, if you have Microsofts hotmail app installed and it is still running in the background, you will receive push notifications. However if you are offline or closed the app from the multitasking bar, it probably wont send notifications.
