Java GMail is definitely not universally compatible with WM5 smartphones — on my T-Mobile Dash, many of the keys do not map at all — like the letter “a”!

“Try sending e-mil messges without tht letter…” Okay, but that’s not all that’s wrong with it!

The web-based GMail for mobile rocks for the most part, especially over the Dash’s wifi…

BUT neither platform supports sending attachments, not even simple txt and jpg attachments! That is not a minor drawback. It’s a huge drawback.

Chris is right. Not having the ability to attach pictures or other documents to new emails is very limiting. Other than that though it is a great app.

Having just received my T Mobile Dash yesterday I can confirm that Gmail App works on it, and it works incredibly well. In fact, I personally think it’s better than using Outlook on WinMo since you have all the Gmail features right there.

Great simplicity and known Google look, and in every nice story there is great big â€œBUTâ€ I have read many blog`s and I can tell you that it is not so easy to use and not everyone can configure it. I personally used it for 2 dayâ€™s and after that I went back to my old app Movamail http://movamail.com/ that can do everything that gmail app can, and much more. I am a google fan for a long time, but not all of their app are great

hmmm…the link you have for the demo app goes to an Intro or Help page of sorts – look fwd to seein it – i chose to “drop out” of the mobile revolution for awhile as an experiment and good to see innovations are coming forth! that said, can wait to go back – electronic life is not *that* demanding on the run quite yet ;-)

Ah, this is great. Works fine on my Nokia N70 on the Optus network in Australia. The only thing that I’d like to see is the ability to add attachments to new emails. It’s would be good to be able to add a photo/video to an email and send it to a friend or blog it.

I’ve also used the mobile version of Google Maps. Pretty handy, though it’s pretty data intensive with the satellite view. You’d need a good data plan if you use it lots.

The mobile version of Google Maps is great. Free service and far more exhaustive results compared to Sprints On Demand 411 service. The application remembers addresses that you input for quick reference later down the road. On top of that, the satellite + traffic view have saved me from a few headaches during anticipated commutes.

I’m a little disappointed with the Gmail App on the Treo. It seems that the home buttons on the 700p play certain functions that are both undocumented and inconsistent with the rest of the application / interface. A great first iteration though. I imagine future releases will have great improvements.

Ah, that would make sense for a Maps application. I haven’t had the pleasure of messing around with mobile gMaps though.

I’m pretty sure they have the same kind of helper app thing going on for mobile Google Maps.

Works like a champ on my Sony Ericsson w/ Cingular. Now I can be even more mail-retentive — gee thanks.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work for T-Mobile people with T-Zones/T-Mobileweb. I’ve heard that people with T-Mo smartphones that have the Total Internet plan can get it to work. Oh well, should be getting my T-Mo Dash in a few days anyways.
