I needed to install "IBM Websphere Micro Environment Java VM" first, but after that it worked fine on my Treo 650.
The display and navigation is much better than the alternative Gmail Mobile in the browser - m.gmail.com
does anyone know the size of the application?
Best Regards
The answer is 112KB. Here's the
direct link to the jar file, in case you want to download it onto your computer and send it to the phone.

I have trouble getting it to run on my V800, I get a "certificate not valid" error. I think ill go back to my old app Movamail http://movamail.com/
said on November 9, 2006 6:43 PM PDT:
It works on my E70, but its not really designed well for landscape mode as the labels for what the buttons do (eg menu, exit etc) are not rotated meaning that one of the labels is not next to a button and the other one is next to the wrong button.
Otherwise works well. Thanks!

Wow! Thanks for the tip... Movamail rocks. Fast and easy... I have my Yahoo, Gmail and POP running on it.

the application does not work on the Samsung SGH-D600E. please could you guys addapt it so that it works. thanx for the awsum service.
does not work properly on my Samsung SGH-X700 (java MIDP 2.0). the installation worked successfully, but when I tried to send HTTP information then my phone suddenly restarted. it happened all the time. :(
by the way, it such a very nice application!!
i've been there Mr. Alex, and i think samsung sgh x700 does not allow to check Gmail Verisign Class 3 public certificate. is there any chance Gmail only send HTTP information (not HTTPS)?
Google says these are the requirements:
* Your Gmail language preference needs to be set to English (US).
* You must be using a J2ME (Java) MIDP2 device.
* You'll need a mobile data plan, and your phone needs to be configured for data access.
* Your phone needs the Verisign Class 3 public certificate with serial number 70:BA:E4:1D:10:D9:29:34:B6:38:CA:7B:03:CC:BA:BF.
Note: Not all phones allow you to check for this certificate.
Regarding https, the Gmail application requires a secure connection in order to connect to the Gmail server. Try to see if the mobile Gmail homepage http://m.gmail.com works for you.

Great App!!! In Holland it works fine and fast. I use it with a simple Tele2 Mobile provider on a SonyEricsson V/K600i. Very nice on holyday. It checks on command for mail :-) Simple user interface.

Hi All,
This is the error I get everytime I try to Launch the Application.
It was installed no problem.
It even lets me type my username & pass. But After that I recieve this error :
This program can't access Gmail until you grant it permission to send and receive data over the network.
I tried every thing that I could (maybe not)
I will be highly grateful to anyone who can help me with it...
Thankx in advance

Works great with Samsung X820, but got error message when trying to sign in on Samsung E-250 (midp2 too). Application starts, lets me input username and password, and then shows this strange error about some certificate. It does ask about sending data in https when singing in too (on X820 it dosn't). Mobile gmail using browser works fine.

how can i install applications on SAMSUNG SGH-D820
To install Gmail's mobile application, just go to
www.gmail.com/app on your mobile phone. You'll download a small app (around 100 KB) and then install it.

I've tried using it on a Samsung E380. Phone lets me install and start successfully, connects to the internet and then reboots. I suppose this has to do with the missing security certificate? Strange though, cause the version I downloaded was explicitly for Samsung phones. I guess Gmail will have to fix this on their part, don't think my phone is broken. m.gmail.com will have to work for now.

Indeed, that works on PSP!!!
On samsung x700 this application doesn't work fine. After logging in to google account it restart itself.
I can't get it to work on my AT&T 8125 and one of the google help pages sent me to download the "IBM Websphere Micro Environment for Java VM" but I wasn't sure which one to do as none of them showed my phone listed...do I just do the one for Windows Mobile 5.0 since that is what I have? I love this site though as it let me revert back to the version that does work on my phone!

Will continue using flurry ;-)

I tried looking up at http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=52876&topic=10143
but isn't of ,uch use.. my phone is a Sony Ericsson K750. The GPRS settings are fine, am able to access gmail in the browser, but then again, exiting the browser seems to disconnect from the GPRS.
My settings for the app under "permissions", are as follows:
Internet access : Ask Once
Messaging : Always ask
Automatic start: Ask Once
Local Connectivity : Ask once
Multimedia : Always Ask
Read User Data : Always ask
Write User data : Always ask
Note: These are NOT the default settings. I have changed a few during my R&D :)
Thanks
@Leela Vinod Kumar:
Use the Internet GPRS profile for Java apps.
Menu > Settings > Connectivity tab > Settings for Java > select a profile that contains Internet. If you can't find one, edit the active profile and choose HTTP instead of WAP in the Internet mode.
Oh! fish... thanks a trillion Ionut Alex Chitu.. worked like a charm.
I was using the older connection settings (rather didn't know there was this to change as well; Hutch is now Vodafone in India and didn't know I had to update changes here)
Its working now.. and Boy, that was quick.. thanks again.. :)

If you experience the certificate problem; using your wap browser, just go to:
tinyurl.com/yhrayoor if you feel like a typing exercise ;) go to:
www.verisign.com/cgi-bin/support/rootcert/getrootcert.certhen install the certificate.

I'm asking for the impossible, namely to let the Gmail Java application talk to Opera Mini.
It would be great if a link in Gmail opens up in Opera Mini when you click on it.
At this stage, gmail closes down (no other way, I know) and opens the link in the phone's default browser (which kinda suck).
Wishful thinking ...

I can download the gmail app, but cant get it to work. It works fine with Airtel though.

Here's the setting for my phone; see if its helpful to u...:

If you have the latest blackberry, you wouldn;t need it. The Curve uses a PUSH system that will deliver the mail directly to your phone (it will direct it to a folder). All you have to do on your BB is set-up an internet email, type in your email and password as you would go into gmail, and BB creates a folder of your email address.
You will instantly receive emails.
I had to create a gmail account because Hotmail doesn't deliver mail to my blackberry. Hotmail Sucks because of it's limitations!

Does it support LG phones, for example LG KU800 or KG800?
I checked out the specs on gsmarena.com and these phones support Java apps which is all is required to run this one as well... Am guessing you should not have any troubles at all...
In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but, I don't think the LG handsets would have any issues with respect to the certificates.

Hi, I have been trying to install the GMail application on my N95 8GB, I download it from the official page(http://www.gmail.com/app) using my phone´s web browser, but when I start the installation process I revive the following warning message:
Application is Untrusted and may be Harmful to your phone...
Then I click on view details, and I received the following message;
When you install an application the security of the application is checked during the installation. Your device can not verify the supplier of the application unless it has a digital signature or Certificate. Continue installation only if you are sure of the origin and contents of the application.
Well, since I am downloading it from the official Google site, then I think it is a trustable application, but I aborted the installation since it can not verify neither a digital signature or its certificate...
Is the Gmail Mobile application not signed by Google?
Have any of you had the same problem? Ant tips? Thanks. Tom
Are there plans to develop this application for other Smartphones and Pocket PC (with phone)?

I managed to download it directly from http://gmail.com/app/v1.5.0.1193/L1/gmail-g.jar but it is not as good as it was before (ex: I have to enter mail direction and password always, and the bottom bar is not blue as it was but black). I suppose this happens because it is a "generic" Gmail 1.5.0.1193 version and not specially adapted for my Samsung sgh x576 as it was the previous version I had installed (downloaded from the official link).
How can I download and install the Gmail java app specially for my Samsung sgh x576 again??

Google launched a new version of Gmail Mobile, this time as a Java application. If you go to gmail.com/app, on your Java-enable mobile phone and download the small application, you'll be able to use Gmail, almost as easy as on your desktop. Some key features:
