Exchange Mobile Direct Push

Been fiddling around with Exchange Direct Push to my mobile PDA. What is Exchange Direct Push? its an additional service that you can switch on (assuming you are using a windows mobile 2005 PDA) basically makes your PDA into a Blackberry, so rather than using active sync to down load messages from outlook to the PDA, the PDA now checks for incoming messages every so often and syncs directly with exchange. I use www.OneandOne.co.uk exchange email service which has for the most part been really good, but with the PDA integration I'm now (for better or worse) always up-to-date.


So is it any good?, the answer (so far) is a qualified yes... it works like a treat updating my mail box as messages come in... BUT there is one problem, the PDA version of outlook has no Spam control (and given I get over a hundred spasm messages a day) .. deleting them all on the PDA is becoming very boring (and expensive on data transfer via 3G). In fact its become so bad that for now I have had to leave a copy of outlook running on a PC which automatically deletes the Spam from my exchange mailbox before it syncs to the PDA. We will see.
