So, it used to be that you could only use the Wireless Sync Email on the LG VX9800 (aka The V, formerly the Verizon Communicator).  Now, this was an expensive option as it was priced at $20 a month!  Rumour was that Verizon would not make available any other email clients, such as Soda Pop, since they wanted people to use the Wireless Sync Email. 

Having seen this client on someone else's phone, not only did I still not want to spend the twenty bucks a month, I also saw a client that looked like a pretty poorly written WAP client.  Not that it didn't work; it worked great, actually.  It was just kludgy.

However, I recently noticed that Email Executive is now available on the phone for only $5 a month!  This allows POP or IMAP access to your email as well as Hotmail access.  It's actually from the same people that do Soda Pop, too. 

I got a chance to look at this app, too.  It looks like a nice little application.  However, I probably won't be using it since I have this Sprint thing going on for a while.  At least the option is there now, though.  It's especially nice that it allows for IMAP usage.
