Google releases Gmail for mobile devices. A must download for Gmail users!
Opened Techmeme this morning to find the hot headline: Email On-the-Go Now Even Easier — Google Launches New Mobile Application for Speedier Access to Gmail
As a heavy user of Gmail on my Blackberry, remember I filter my messages and read a lot of my mail in Gmail through the browser, I jumped on this right away. I quickly grabbed my Berry and loaded it right up. Holey smokes is it cool! It’s just like Gmail in your browser! The collapsible threads, marking spam, and it’s fast.
From reading Oliver’s post on MobileCrunch, users of some Nokia phones might have to jump through some hoops, but a comment from a Treo user said it worked nicely.
You can even see the app running on my Berry here. Yeah this is going to improve my on the road productivity tremendously.

[…] I also suggest that if you are on the road a lot, adding Gmail for your mobile device and Gtalk for your device. I’ve been using Gmail mobile for a couple weeks now and it is truly awesome. One thing I learn, however, is that if you tell it to keep you logged in, your battery life will suffer. I turned this off and life was good. All this means is that you need to sign in every time.

HuLsH … I got that error a couple times, I think it’s a provider thing. I don’t know. Some people are giving it the thumbs down, it seems a lot of the problems are on hardware and provider sides.
Reece, I haven’t heard of any problems, but I’ll keep an eye out. Are your friends also on the same provider? Maybe there is some strange port or protocal blocking going on. I know I can’t visit all websites on my Blackberry (but I can securely log into my bank, which is cool).
