  • Sil369, on 10/26/2008, -0/+9im thinking the same thing
  • RobotBuddha, on 10/26/2008, -1/+8Jokes about the iphone aside, I wish people were more clear with what platforms applications run on. I had to read the summery, follow the link, then follow the link within the link to get the basic information that it runs under java.
  • blackjack75, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5Runs fine on windows mobile if you have a java virtual machine.. if you don't google Risidoro...

  • Dermah, on 10/26/2008, -0/+4By following the geometric progression this comment requires four exclamation marks!!!!
  • havokdu, on 10/26/2008, -0/+4Some things not mentioned in the article that I noted:

    _ Unlike version 1.x, this one support multiple accounts right inside the program.
    _ You can enable or disable HTTPS, great thing if you cell provider, roaming or capped data plan can't support secure connection.
    _ Kb/s data counter
    _ "Sent from mobile phone" optional signature


  • tavisjohn, on 10/26/2008, -1/+5It is ***** like you that give Obama a bad name!

    And it is asshats like you that are SPAMMERS AND NEED TO BE HIT BY A TRUCK!
  • brickbat, on 10/26/2008, -0/+4On Windows mobile you can use imap with the native application. it works great.
  • inactive, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3me three.
  • Sil369, on 10/26/2008, -2/+5thats great news... wonderful...exstatic!!!
  • scarwars, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3go figure.. Gmail, a feature on the Google phone... who would've thought
  • sTiVo, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3"Hey Mac off to Opera"
  • row1, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3They need to get this application signed. Every time I try to download some mail my Nokia has to ask me for network permissions...
    Nice app though, a much better solution that the current online mobile version.

    Direct link to download:

  • zdiddy85, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2I can't believe you guys actually agree with him!
  • javaroast, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2You didn't need to take it that far you could have let it end!!!!!
  • RobotBuddha, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2You miss out on the nice gmail organization though. I like seeing the conversation stacked, having it easily searchable, and all the various other little customizations.
  • wesw02, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2This feature is available on the android platform also.

    Just got my G1 in the mail :)
  • andyc, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2A few other nice improvements over version 1.x:

    - Smooth scrolling
    - On my phone (Sony Ericsson W880i) when I click the "back" button when in the inbox, the app mimises. Saves me having to hold down the "back" button for 2 secs, selecting "minimise" and clicking ok. This is going to save me literally 10s of seconds every day.
    - Can toggle items as read/unread by pressing "3". I often forget about emails I've glanced at on my phone as they are shown as read when I return to my computer.
  • TheNakedChef, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2I wish that it would be possible to label emails and download attachments. Especially pdf files.
  • Skod, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2I try to keep slowcode out of my device.
  • lebondarken, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2Yes. A comment I can respect. :[
  • emberjohn, on 10/26/2008, -0/+1Great, i simply can't keep my eyes off g-mail.
  • DigitAl56K, on 10/26/2008, -0/+1It also finally lets you access GMail and mail for Google Apps from the same client (Google used to ship two discrete versions).
  • JackpotCity, on 10/27/2008, -0/+1I definitely cant wait to fire this up on my new C902, I can until now only check mail with the app, but if I wanted to respond I had to use the mobile version of Gmail online.

    WooHoo.
  • benitojuarez, on 10/26/2008, -0/+1It wont download new messages for me. I can send them just fine. Id prefer a client.
  • tomz17, on 10/26/2008, -0/+1Yeah.. a native windows mobile client would be nice.
  • havokdu, on 10/26/2008, -0/+1Yes, it does automatically check for email when you load the program as long as a GPRS/edge/3G connection is active (and allowed for the program to use).
    You may load the program and test it sending emails from a PC using a different email account.
  • LordJezo, on 10/26/2008, -0/+1If you are looking for a direct link to plug into your phone for a download use this address:

    http://m.google.com/app/gmail.jad?dc=gorganic&ver= ...

    When I went to the one linked from the page it just kept sending me back to the browser based version of gmail. I went to the download page directly and it installed right away.
  • drh8, on 10/26/2008, -0/+1And with a maximum of 2gb microSD it is totally better than the iphone and G1 at EVERYTHING EVER!!!! It might be better for you, but it doesn't do near what either do.
  • verkon, on 10/26/2008, -0/+1Does it run on UIQ3?
  • chanc, on 10/26/2008, -0/+1Yes, it is a Java application so it will run on UIQ3

    I have it working in my P1i ;)
  • drh8, on 10/26/2008, -0/+1Because you're flame baiting?
  • inactive, on 10/26/2008, -1/+1I installed it. This was great.

    So if I have a calendar, Google Maps and now Google Mail all on my LG KU990, just what is the point of getting an iPhone or a G1??
  • Tron007, on 10/26/2008, -4/+3iphone already did that.....FTW
  • BoxAnimeManga, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0Wow! G-mail was awesome.
  • Rhoadsy, on 10/26/2008, -5/+4It matters not for the iphone, therefore I am a loser and this article doesn't matter.
  • naterza, on 10/26/2008, -2/+1no palmOS either :(
  • hsep88, on 10/26/2008, -8/+6Wait a sec this thing isn't on the iPhone yet what's it doing on the front page?
  • sunnyoraish, on 10/26/2008, -4/+2and this one five!!!!!
