The principal is exactly the same - BES uses the Server Routing Protocol, which is proprietary to them (probably what you are alluding to), but its principal is still exactly the same... as the blackberry must be connected to the the BB infrastructure (the connection) then the push is still the same - a simple ping to tell the device a message is waiting, so go grab it.
The only difference is the BES device is connected to the RIM infrastructure, rather than my iphone connected to my server.

SRP communication takes place on TCP port 3101 by default. SRP work in two different part: 1. SRP ID 2. SRP Authorization Key
My iPhone uses TCP port 443. My iPhone works in two parts: 1. my login ID 2. my password

It's still TCP. No difference.
It has nothing to do with the SMS protocol, dummy.

ugh... do you even understand what I'm telling you ? Ofcourse it gets the e-mail through TCP. It's a data connection.
The difference in 'PUSH' is whether:
1. You maintain an active connection at all times.
2. You get notified by the cell tower ( through something similar to an SMS ) that you are to open up that TCP connection.
#1 IS NOT push, #2 IS push.
Why do you think RIM paid 612 million dollars to NTP back in 2006 after patent litigation ? Because the idea of opening a connection to a server hadn't been thought of by anybody else ?
Anyhoo, I'm done wasting time on this. Read up on it if you really want to learn
