I had a problem with my V800 I got a “certificate not valid” error. Finally I solved the problem and enjoyed in yet another excellent app from Google. The only problem is that you can use it only for checking GMail account. With another program that I use http://movamail.com/ I watch my other accounts. I will try to think of a reason why should I use Gmail mobile. When I can do all off that on my old app Movamail

Very strange. I don’t have the ‘remember me’ option on the log in page.

I might uninstall it and download it again and see if that works.

That’s interesting, Philippe, that you get maps for Belgium. I’m only offered maps for the US and Canada when I go to Google Maps on my phone, an N73.

I wonder why that is?

Hi Neville,

Just installed and tried it out on my new Nokia N93 and both Gmail Mobile and Google Maps look (and work) great. I do get maps for Belgium on there….

Some great tips here, thanks.

Google Maps looks good, Karl, and it will run on my phone. But US and Canada maps only so just of passing interest to me at the moment.

Having to log in each time is a pain, Stephen. But don’t you use the ‘remember me’ option? I do, and it works perfectly - when I go to Gmail, it just drops me straight in to my inbox.

Goosync looks interesting, Dave. I don’t use Google Calendar myself (I use Outlook which syncs perfectly with my phone calendar) but I can see its value.

Lee, you should have a menu option in your phone to increase and decrease font sizes when you’re using your web browser.

I just signed up for it so I haven’t used it yet. I have a Nokia 6010 and I probably will not be purchasing any more Noika phones. I love smart phones (I have a Kyrocera that I can’t use - Alltel canceled using them) and will have one in the future. Until then I’ll probably be using gmail on the computer.

I’ve tried this a few times. While I like the fact it uses the same functions as the original the font size is causing me eyestrain.

GooSync puports to sync your Google Calendar with your mobile, but I am yet to get it to work…

It sure does rock, it runs great on my N80. Also, the google maps for mobile is amazing as well, i’ve been using it to get around san francisco and it is very well done. The good thing about these apps is that they are so freaking fast, almost everything else browser based runs so slow.

I actually think apps like these are going to help us get around the walled gardens that carriers/mobile operators are trying to maintain, a related post: Are Mobile Operators stifling Mobile Innovation?

cheers!

(oh and you know I work for Nokia so I will shamelessly pimp those phones
