Gmail mobile access

July 4th, 2006

I’ve just noticed, that Google has opened for mobile access to Gmail. This means that by pointing any cell phone browser at http://m.gmail.com it should be possible to check any Gmail account. This provides a nice alternative for the email applications for cell phones I’ve posted on ealier.

After trying it out I had some positive and negative experience. First of all I could not make it work on my Nokia 6610i but it seemed to work fine with the Samsung E330. Secondly it seemed to take just a little longer, and be a little more difficult to check mail than using my current favourite, Flurrymail. On the positive side it did a very nice overview of the complete mailbox and had the familiar Gmail-look.

    Gmail is good. Seems to be very fast. Dont know about overall compatibility, worked fine on my SE750, but I have seen several other complaints about compatibility. You seem to still like Flurrymail, and I still prefer Movamail. The thing to remember is that Flurry and Movamail also work with multiple email services… where I suspect Gmail will always only work with Gmail and not Yahoo, Hotmail etc.
