yahoo push does save battery, however I could never get yahoo to push on a regular basis. It would work great for a few days then it would quit. I finally gave up and just went back to .Mac and checking every 15 minutes. From my Treo I was used to charging it everynight, so the battery life doesn't bother me that much.yep, automatic e-mail check drains the battery. It was what caused me to do the yahoo push mail.
Amen to that brotha. That being the battery life on the Treo, I'm not a Treo hater ( I mean I've been using them since 03/04) but the 700wx OMG, awful batter, just awful!yahoo push does save battery, however I could never get yahoo to push on a regular basis.

how do i turn off automatic email check?
If you turn off the auto-brightness feature, that will also help with power usage. you will find that control in settings under brightness.I changed one setting and my battery has been charged for about 5 days now. I changed the mail settings to manual, and only check it about once a day, and boy did that make a difference. I use to have it every 30 minutes.
yippie!
Following is a link that will hopefully be helpful to you.Can someone explain "Push" E-mail to me? I'm assuming this means that the phone isn't constantly checking for mail, but receives mail as it's sent. Is that it? I noticed that if you use Yahoo mail there's no option under the Settings/Mail menu to adjust the checking of mail.
