Got it all working with the GT client using PSI on the desktop. My learnings are

1. You have to have a gmail.com account. The BB GT client doesn't like UK googlemail.com addresses. Google looks at your IP address when you register and won't let you select a gmail.com address if it thinks you're in the UK.

2. I tried a gmail address "john dot seymour dot blackberry @ gmail.com". PSI/talk.google.com/Jabber didn't want to know (too long? too many dots?). I even tried an on-line Jabber client, which also failed. I then signed up a new address of the form "11 chrs dot 2 chrs @ gmail.com" and that worked fine. An older address of the form "7 chrs @ gmail.com" was also ok...

3. Using the MSN transport at jabber.anywise.com seems the best so far. Earlier probs of recived messages being duplicated seem to have gone too.
