Quite some time ago, I wrote a posting about setting up GMail account in our S60 phones. Recently, Google has released an email client for mobile phone called GMail Application for Mobile. It is a Java-based application and it runs on many mobile phones (not only S60 phones).
What can we do with GMail Application for Mobile? Basically most features of web-based are available here, including write email, search email and even report spam.
Point your S60 browser to http://www.gmail.com/app to download GMail Application
Since it is a Java-based application, the start-up is a little bit slow (compared to native applications). It also consumes relatively high amount of memory.
Compatible devices: S60 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Nokia N-Series, Nokia E-Series.

I have no comment about new gmail mobile because it`s great and it functions smooth. But one thing misses:
If I have more than one mail besides gmail I must install two or three programs to watch, send… At the moment my favorite program is Movamail http://movamail.com/ because you can use multiple accounts (gmail, yahoo mail, hotmail, aol…) and it supports POP, IMAP and Webmail and I think it will overcome great Gmail just because it’s versatile.

@Vladimir: I am not really sure if this application compatible with Siemens SX1. My assumption was yes because SX1 supports MIDP 2.0. However, it seems you’re saying it is not compatible.

@HuLsH: I agree with you. That’s why I myself would still prefer default Messaging application from GMail application for Mobile.

Is it possible to get rid of those annoying questions every time I launch GMail application on my N70?
It asks will I allow this software to connect to use network and which access point to use.
I found GMail (158kB) in N70’s application manager and there I put to the network access ask first time. It still keeps asking every time I launch GMail.

@Silver Dude: I don’t think you can get dir of those questions because GMail app is written in Java. There is always a question like that because Java runtime is running in a sandbox.

The only default to this application, it’s the startup time (5 seconds for my E51) and the obligation to answer few question before reading emails (”do you accept to connect ?” and choose your network).
It’s too long.
