wow, i'm loving the new gmail java app for mobiles, works a treat on my phone, however my two work friends both on vodafone can't get it working? anyone had troubles with this?
 
nah, its pretty heavily branded (therefore probably pretweaked by VF).

I just went onto vodalive, manually entered the url: http://gmail.com and logged in. Read, sent and received mail - worked well. In fact, thanks for the headsup!

is that the same? i went to gmail.com/app and downloaded the java application that sits in my applications folder, so i don't goto the internet to get the connect, although it does use the internet
 
Impressed with this on my girlfriends K800i, unfortuantely won't work on my oldey Sammy E350, recognises the phones and downloads ok, I try to log in and it crashes :(

Doh.

probably not then...

i'll have a butchers at that one too...

But in essence what i did above worked brilliantly.
 
i tried using the SE Gmail application, but it said Us/Canada only, i donwloaded and installed it, but it failed to work properly..

been using web gmail on my mobiles for a while now, really fast and dont have to fiddle with any settings
 
yeah it says us/can but works fine on my O2 k750i, it is 100 times better than the normal one, it works like a java app and is so easy to use, log in once and once only... you guys are missing out! :p

installed it earlier today, went on fine, no probs - and is a lot nicer than the wap version, again w900i, Voda

darn thing even opened some attached word files i had - well impressed, and pulled all my email contacts from my gmail account!

yeah it's so much easier to use, makes the normal mobile phone one looks like a pile of pants, i check my mail all the time now :p

its that efficient you could use it instead of texting tbh
 
google maps Java now too!

having read Crazy Fools post, about Gmail, i did some more digging, and found google maps java now.

www.google.com/gmm and install. Not only does it give you a mpa of any area you request (quite slow to download, but hey ho) but also does stepwise directions. Kinda like satnav but not knowing where it is! Very handy tho when you;re stuck.
