I have BB curve 8310, without BES or BIS, though i have unlimited data plan from my carrier.
I use gmail apps for BB and i understand that it refreshes every 5 min if set on foreground.

Please can some explain how to set the Gmail apps on foreground on BB curve 8310.
i'm a uk resident if that helps.

Cheers.

gmail apps wont work without BIS.

Actually it works fine without BIS and BES only that it takes upto 20 mins to refresh and download new emails.

A forum member here, wrote a blog about using Gmobile apps and opera browser on BB without BIS and BES.
i use google maps, sync, reader and mobile apps and they all work without problem.

okies.
Then the next part is, I have never heard of the ability to "set to foreground".
To have it automatically refresh, you leave it running, in the background
