Gmail bases its mail-fetching
frequency on how often it finds
messages in the account when it
checks; if the account only gets email
rarely, ...

For my iPhone, I use Google Sync, which works flawlessly. If you go to the Google Sync homepage, you'll see that they also have Contacts sync for Nokia S60. I would recommend trying Google Sync out.

Try AnkiWeb, the online version of the popular Anki flashcards app.
The simple HTML design makes it reliable and easy to use on tiny devices.
In addition to the webapp, you might want to use Linux/Windows/Mac/Android/iPhone applications and their synchronization features.

You can't.
Polling a external account works when you have a legacy account, that you don't want to abandon, but it's not very important.
If you want to be sure the account is checked frequently, add it as a separated account in the Android device (you can leave the messages in the server if you want this mails consolidated in GMail)

It shows you the results on a Google Map display, the directions for your base route, and a list of matches. You can click a result and it will add that location in and refresh the directions. I've used it on my ...

You could use TiddlyWiki. It can be downloaded and you can use it as a single file on your computer (it can be downloaded and used standalone as an HTML file you open with a browser), but there are also places where it is hosted and is an app on the web.

id=
An example:

If they have a custom name, then go to http://graph.facebook.com/username replacing username with their custom name. It will return ...

Whether that option is available when replying depends on whether the recipient has registered a mobile device and enabled receiving notifications on it. When sending a new message Facebook doesn't check first and just enables it by default. As far as I can find there is no way to disable this option.

You can access Gmail's basic HTML view [support] at mail.google.com/mail/h. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to bookmark this because it immediately redirects you to a session-specific URL.

I am not sure what difficulties you had using a blog but go give Posterous a shot. You will be able to post by Email, Web or the Posterous App. At one point I used a script to post directly from my laptop using hotkeys.
As for privacy you can set the privacy level of the blog.
So now when anyone checks they will arrive at
The only problem I can see is ...

For Nokia phone, just use Ovi Contacts. It has a web and a Symbian client (comes pre-installed on S60v5 and higher). And best of all, it's free. I

You might look into the app CoverItLive. They have software that will run on mobile devices and allow you to publish to a variety of mediums.
From what I can see, there isn't a "direct" WordPress integration, but you embed the CoverItLive feed you create into your blog. That way the users have a static location, you can update your content live that goes ...
