Blackberry phone service is well known for its Push Email services which are considered highly reliable and lightning fast.This service is available only in select countries.Now users in India can get a blackberry like push email service on their GSM mobile phones to recieve emails from their Gmail,yahoo or rediff mail accounts.
The service is provided by Blacmail.in. However, unlike blackberry which runs on GPRS technology, this service runs on GSM technology and can be accessed on any GSM capable phone. Majority of mobiles in india are GSM enabled phones ( specially low end phones). This is a major advantage of the service for users who are in an area where GPRS is not available.
