Windows Live allows your Windows Mobile phone to receive real PUSH email from your 'live' or 'hotmail' accounts. Most Windows Mobile devices will have Windows Live pre-installed, but if not, it can be downloaded from here:

Once you have Windows Live installed:
-Accept the Terms and Conditions.
-Sign in with your Live or Hotmail account (make sure to save your password).
-Choose to have the Live Search Bar and/or the Windows Live today screen plugins turned on (I usually choose not to).
-Choose to copy your Windows Live/Hotmail contacts to your mobile phone. (If you have a lot of contacts and don't use them regularly, this is not recommended).
-Leave the "Sync e-mail" option checked.
Windows Live will synchronize your account and create a new mailbox called "Hotmail".
To turn on PUSH:
While still in Windows Live,
-Goto Menu
-Goto Options
-Goto Synch Schedule
-Change the Sync Frequency to "As items arrive"
-Make sure Times is set to "Always"
-Press Done and Done.
One caveat, Windows Live must be running for the push synchronization to work.
Send yourself an email and revel in the near-instant notification.
