With all the questions about push email/the droid speed... I'm wondering what the emails will look like and how fast they will load. Blackberries push email rather than polling and also they send chunks of the email at a time. That's why you can open an email so quickly on a BB and if you scroll to the bottom of the email it says "more available" and then it retrieves another chunk of the email.
This is great for BS emails that I only need the gist of or don't need to see the whole body of. You also select to show images in BB emails rather than trying to pull them all in automatically. However, this typically leaves BB emails looking pretty plain. Just like my experience with blackberries...very reliable, get the job done but without the flash/frills of other smartphones.
By comparison, email on the Pre looked great. They looked just like email looks on a computer. Full images/layouts/fonts all in the correct places etc. The downside was that they took forever to load/check because when selecting to open them they would have to retrieve a much larger amount of data from the network (email with text, pictures, formatting- PRE > email with mostly text and a little formatting- BB).
So i'm wondering if anyone has read or seen anything with regards to this for the droid. It would be a shame if a great email experience was hindered by long wait times to actually see the messages...
