drshrinkwrap: If you have bought a 3G then I don't believe there is any solution for you except SMSNotify. At least for now, there is no firmware 2.0 compatible version of iLog, Kate, Intelliscreen. If its possible, you could get a 2G iPhone and run 1.1.4 that could run those apps, (or keep the pager?)

As for the "tricks" to SMSNotify...

1} Of course you would need to jailbreak

2} once you had SMSNotify installed, (and that is not easy since its not on Cydia at this point), you would have to try to trick it into waking up. Basically what I used to do was have my email poll interval set for 15 minutes. Since it takes some time for the device to enter low power, establish connectivity and query a exchange server for mail, smsnotify would usually get enough time to squeeze in a beep/vibrate. This did not always work but usually you would get a small reminder within 2 intervals (1/2 hour). You could decrease the poll interval but that was bad on battery so 15 was a happy medium. NOW, all of that might not work because of push, (ideally it will ONLY wake up on new email so you might not get a notification for hours/days/etc, (depends how much spam you get )

Its pretty easy, once you have SSH running, go on Cydia and install BossPrefs. In its option there is an option to have SSH run on reboot. If SSH is on and the device goes into a funk there is a file you can edit, (I think its com.apple.Springboard, but if you hit the problem you can search for the steps, (I think they might be here actually)
