Last month, I mentioned [1] the new Ogo by AT&T Wireless [2]. After using it for a while, I came across some good tips that may not be obvious to most users. One such tip is in regards to manually checking email. The Ogo is not a “push” device, meaning that email is not immediately received on the device. The Ogo allows you to choose the time intervals between email checks – but what if you are waiting for an important email or need to see if your spouse got your message and has sent you a response, etc? You don’t need to worry. You can easily force the Ogo to check your email immediately by pressing the Ogo button, then going to the navigation pad and pressing the down key on the outside of the navigation pad. When you see “Send/Receive” selected on the Ogo screen, press enter. Wait a few moments to see if the Ogo vibrates, letting you know that you have a new message!
