Push disabled?
Push email wasn't disabled in 2.1, mine still works happily.
I think you're getting confused with the push service that'll allow app store programs to receive push information without running in the background, for example, IM programs can receive IMs without having to be running.
This feature was supposed to be in 2.1, but was removed from a late beta, so they could focus on fixing all the broken stuff.
