I came across this site by accident while searching for something else.  Always interested in trying out new applications, I visited www.momail.org, chose my country and operator and within 2 minutes I had a mobile email account - with push email for free!

Try it - they have made both the installation, web based interface and the whole process so easy.  There is even an email aggregation feature, and a dynamic reply feature so replies come from the account they were sent to.

The simplicity is your mobile number becomes your email address eg 07979123456@momail.co.uk

Couldn't be simpler.  They have just received some serious funding and I predict these guys will become "the hotmail of mobile". Read more about momail here.
