Gmail On Your Cell Phone
I have been able to get Gmail on my Treo 650 for a long time. They have had a mobile option that works pretty well. It’s a little clunky, but it works. Now, they have released a Java-based email program for your cell phone that is supposed to be even better. It’s supposed to be faster and more like the Gmail screens you’re used to.
Why haven’t I tried it?
Well, I’d have to put that Java stuff on my already stuffed phone. It works on my Treo, but more and more, I’m learning that sometimes things are “good enough.†I’m not talking about mediocrity for the sake of laziness. I’m talking about constantly trying to get the newest and best thing just to keep on top of the gadget trends. I’m not willing to put forth the effort of getting Gmail’s new software to work on my phone because the older system that they have works well enough for me.
If you have a web browser on your phone, use this URL:
http://m.gmail.com/
Try out the old Gmail and see if it’s “good enough†for you before you go to the trouble of getting a Java program to work on your phone. You might just find out that your cell phone does things you never knew it could do for you with little effort.
