I love my iPhone, nut Blackberry is Much better for email.

Can the iPhone receive email from server at same speed of Blackberry.

What is difference between "Push" and "Fetch"?
 
Fetch = Time delay due to a scheduled scan and battery waster because it has to scan.

Push = No time delay once the mail server has it and no extra battery is wasted since the Push system is always in listen mode for other Pushes.
 
As skull says 'fetch' has a battery overhead, might eat more of your data allowance than push.

I find it acceptable having mine 'fetch' every 15 mins over 3 accounts, my phone tends to last 2-3 days with moderate call usage, I do hook onto home WiFi which reduces my plan data usage while at home.
