Will the iPhone 4 use push email technology?

Question by Cip.dV: Will the iPhone 4 use push email technology?
I’m acquiring a new cell phone and saw that the new iPhone will be coming out soon. I was told that the current iPhone 3GS does not use push technology to receive email (it automatically updates every 15 minutes) whereas the Blackberry automatically notifies you INSTANTLY when a new email is received.

Does anyone know if the new iPhone 4 will use this push technology to receive instant email like the Blackberry?

Both. All iPhones support PUSH and IMAP. PUSH is NOT instant. IMAP is instant.

The current iPhone is called the iPhone 3g.. But the original iPhone must surely have been 3rd Generation technology too…. right?

they call it iPhone 3G because it has an upgrade in it that makes the internet and the phone itself work faster then the original iPhone.
