MovaMail, for all your mobile email needs
There's been written a lot about Yahoo!'s Gmail application recently, but compared to that MovaMail is much more powerful, supporting all the popular services: Yahoo!, Hotmail, GMail, AOL, POP3 and IMAP.

The application is free and runs on most phones supporting Java ME / J2ME.

Version 2.0 has just been released, and sports the following new features:
* Phone Address Book Synchronization – complete synch and server backup
* Complete Email Synchronization – including email status
* Attachment Support – view images, forward attachments
* Camera Phone Integration – email pictures from your mobile phone
* Multi-lingual support – support for any language in the end users mobile phone

The service now also supports access via a WAP 2.0/XHTML browser, for users that can't or don't want to run a Java application.

Comments:
Movamail was a breeze to install and runs very smoothly - and fast - on my SE750. With an application like Movamail, and regular mobile phones becoming "smarter" I see little motive to get a Blackberry.

A BlackBerry still has a place for corporate email/groupware that MovaMail doesn't support, but that doesn't necessarily require a BlackBerry per se.
