Go to: www.mobile.google.com from your internet or blackberry browser.

Allows you to download an "application" that adds four icons to your blackberry ribbon: gmail, google search, google news, and google maps. The first three are merely links to webpages and the maps basically just opens google maps (version 1.3.2). Also adds an option to the settings/options menu that allows you to control which icons appear on the home screen.

I installed it and then uninstalled it - you get basically the same functionality from downloading google maps (Google Maps) and then adding bookmarks for the other three. However, you might like it.

Link isn't working for me, Page Cannot Be Displayed error.

Must access from the device itself.

from your device: Gmail

Checking it out right now.

Not bad. Can open jpgs but not mp3s. Doesn't compare at all to getting gmail through BIS.

Deleted.

The URL is actually Google Mobile (mobile.google.com)

that one worked, thanks whsbuss

Everyone

Google just dropped a gmail client for java enabled mobile phones. I just installed it and it is super fast. Im talking its as fast as the blackberry mail client. The best thing with it is that you get 2 way synch with your mail.

Head over to Google Mobile for details.

To install it OTA head to Gmail from your device.

Does it auto-check my mail for me?

Does it wash my dishes for me?

I just want to know if the gmail app will let me know when I have mail so I can maybe take my gmail account out of BIS.

it doesnt seem to have blackberry specific notifications at the moment.

Seems like the two-way reconciliation is delayed as well... I deleted it from the BB App and it doesn't go away in the website... but when i delete it from BB email, it deletes it a few minutes later...

Ok i download it earlier today but then i uninstalled but now im trying to download again but everytime i go to the web site (http://mobile.google.com)it doesnt give me the option to download the app to my BB. Even tho i did find the gmail app I was actually looking for the whole suite where it gives me the other 3 shortcuts in my menu anyone know how to get that back

I do not see any apps to download rather links to the mobile version of google. You downloaded apps from google earlier today?

After I installed their "suite" the icon took me to gmail via the bb browser. I logged in then exited the browser, clicked the gmail icon again then I was presented with the option to download the gmail client.

After the install I had a new gmail icon and when I clicked it I got a java error about cod something and sibling something.

I'm going to delete and start over.

Reinstalled and everything is working now.

Haha, sorry man. I thought you were joking too. I feel bad now.

I am going to install this apps and try it out.
thanks.

just installed it and it looks great.. love it.. I wish they could give access to calendar also as part of this interface so that I can update my google calendar on the desktop and then I can start using that as my one calendar.

I've downloaded and installed the new GMail app. But when it tries to connect I get: "The server certificate is not trusted by your handheld. Would you like to continue with the connection, close the connection or view the certificate for more information?"
I've tried to "Continue" but it just keeps displaying the same message. Any ideas? I'm on a BES.

yes like I said i downloaded earlier today and I had this three icons with the application gmail, google search, google news, and google maps but now when I try to download i only get gmail icon im trying to get the other three thats all but it doesnt give me the option like it did in the first place

I don't really like the web based apps that you d/l on mobile.google.com, but the individual gmail and google maps that you get on gmail.com/app and google.com/glm are the shits. Gmail apps are the Best!!!b

No problem. I appreciate sarcasm.

gmail app is really good.. I hope veru soon they will add intellisense so that I do not have to type the complete email address.
And I hope it is using data server and not the SMS service otherwise poeple will burn..

edit

Ok I know I am not loosing my mind!

I went to mobile.google.com and I do not see any download links to applications that some other users have posted that they have downloaded apps to their BB. I have downloaded the gmail.com/app with success.

Tell me I'm not crazy!!! ???

The gmail app is cool. However, I would rather want to get them pushed to my BB directly. Real-time is better. But again, I could love to view graphics from Gmail Apps

Someone might want to view the HTML email.

However, it is just what I guess. I still want the gmail gets pushed to my BB in real-time.

Ok this is really pissing me off no i didnt see the google services under options but this is the website I went to the first time Google Mobile and automatic it promt me to download the services but now that I uninstalled it doesnt promt me to download it again but some how Im able to download the gmail app but it looks a lot different then when I download it the first time. Because I was able to open my emails that had pictures (not attach) and it was viewable now with the one I downloaded today It doesnt display my pics with in the email that is why Im looking for the one that comes with the bundle does anyone know what the version is who ever has the bundle cause the gmail app says is 1.00. And before anyone ask i do have the push gmail but that also doesnt display the pictures either unless it comes attach anyone can help me it is greatly appreciated

Don't have any idea why things aren't weren't working at first, but just navigate to Google Mobile and it should come up with the installer link for the 4 applications. If it doesn't, go to Google Mobile and send a text message to your phone.

Is this what happened to the Req Wireless Email Viewer app?

Santo

fellas i was able to successfully install the gmail app on my bb 8100, but for some reason everytime i try to access it, it will freeze for about almost a 30 sec, then go to a white screen whith a sroll bar on the left hand side, from there i cant do anything but scroll up and down with the trackball, but nothing else seems to work, even escape, enter nothing, so i end up having to restart the phone, any suggestions

GMail Mobile
Pro's:
Looks pretty, FINALLY a gmail email app...
Shows html email nicely

Con's:
No notifications (Whats the point of an email program you take with you that doesnt tell you when you have email?)
No Hosted Support (BIS NEEDS THIS TOO! GRR!)
Multiple account support doesnt exist
Slow to sync

disapointment.

heh.... weeee? booo? eehhhh... beeep.

I dunno, this is a bit lame. I can only think to use it to view html emails proper but... no push, no deal... I guess I'll keep it installed for those few html emails.

LOL--I purchased Req not too long ago and after changing out my BB, I never looked into getting another copy of it. Guess I dont miss/need another mail client on my BB. I just use the RIM Carrier Webclient servicebook item to poll and send/receive POP accounts.

Whats up with the time on yous guys posts... you guys time traveling.

Now I can read my offers from tigerdirect without wondering what the heck all those links to images and all the other crap is. This is a wonderful app to have if you want html email to look the way it was meant to be.
