Let's see if I have this figured out before I start downloading stuff...

I'm using thunderbird on my PC because I don't have outlook. If I want to sync w/my Q, i need to download Birdiesynq?

To get email on my Q, it goes out every so often and sees if there is anything on the server, downloads it if there is, thus shortening my battery's life.

to "push" email (I assume that means to have the server automatically send it to my Q, there is a new program out there (which I've forgotten the name of already) which will accomplish this, then I don't need Birdiesync for Thunderbird--or do I, to keep Q & PC synced?

To read, create, edit Office files, I need documentstogo.

Maybe these should've been seperate posts?

Please let me know if these thoughts seem logical to you. I'm new at this whole smartphone deal. For the price I paid for thing, I want all the usefulness I can get to justify the expenditure. I just don't want to load it up with a bunch of junk and slow it down.
