There's something you are missing and that is what is defined as 'live polling'

I think you are finally starting to understand it. Read on PIN messaging from RIM.
In SMS terms think of it this way.
BES knows there's an e-mail waiting for the user. He forwards the e-mail to RIM. RIM talks to their carrier partners and they send an SMS to the device saying: hey, there's an e-mail waiting for you. connect and get it.
The device connects to the server and gets the message. No other connection is necessary. Do you understand know how this is true push ?
