We know that many (if not most) of you have jumped the gun and installed modded Wizard / Faraday ROMs chock full o' goodies like MSFP and A2DP, but for the handful of you patiently waiting for Cingular to pull the trigger, mark June 19 on your calendars. That's the day Cingular's official ROM updates will drop, spreading Direct Push goodness across the lands. If you were counting on whipping out that Globalsat Bluetooth headset, you might get forced into the land of hacked firmware nonetheless -- A2DP is unlikely to make the official cut, if other vendors' releases are any indication.
"numerous carriers selecting GSM as their CDMA / TDMA upgrade path"
I thought GSM and CDMA were the options for upgrading from TDMA; whatever one thinks of the GSM vs CDMA "debate" I don't know if a CDMA carrier would change over to GSM.
Once you get the push update installed to the phone, what else does it take to get it actually working?

Is this an effective design? Has anyone put this thru real world use?

DirectPush works fine on my 8125. You need to have an Exchange Server 2003SP2 server on the other end to push to you. mail2web.com has free exchange-based webmail accounts which work great for this. I just auto-forward messages from my primary e-mail account to mail2web, and it's all set.
