I hope VZW updates us! I love my Gmail.

I don't think this is a good idea, blackberry already had email there is no reason to support other email carriers. Gmail is crap anyways I have tried it on iphone 3GS, Web, and computer its crap.

and honestly BlackBerry has no need for it, I absolutely don't want it on my BlackBerry!

The download seems to be broken. Here's a mirror on RapidShare: http://is.gd/7O9YB

Gmail is garbage, and google is garbage too, not to mention acting in a non
competitive way towards competition. I am actually offended but having the
option of a google plug in for BlackBerry

And if that as not bad enough for BlackBerry to do this is a STEP BACKwards
they are shooting them selves in the foot. Their Core is Push Email why are you
supporting another monopoly.

Dare I say that you Sir 'vx1' are the Dumb one. Gmail flawlessly integrates into any mobile client I've tried which includes the iTouch, Nokia E71, Nokia N97, Blackberrys 8310, 8520, 8800, 8900, 9000 and 9700 so I don't know what you're talking about.

Ask anyone with half a clue and they'll agree with me. Gmail works well. Besides, I don't see you throwing your support behind any other mail client so really you're just complaining.

Lame!

i'm sorry guys, a newbie here, may i ask who makes the update for BIS, is it the carrier or we make the updates for our handhelds.

What benefit will we have if we don't use Gmail with BIS 3.0?

Yahoo! Mail has an absolutely amazing integration with Blackberries. Why on earth is it so difficult to recreate that for Gmail with or without these silly plug-ins. I just want two-way instant sync. Is that so hard??

Troubleshooting customers? They going to diagnose STDs or something?

All I can say about it is the above... I have had an account since it started, so lots of contacts still hit me on it. Therefore, its nice to have it supported on bb. It's just more email to me. It would be nice to be able to pull up old mails, but I survive. Someday, I will get everyone to use my @bb account. Carry on.
I second being way more interested in seeing browser changes, soon please!

there is nothing good about google and nothing useful, they were a university project run rabid. Not only that they are merged with the NSA government agency .. they are not helping the high tech community but hurting it and unlike microsoft they are are not attempting to help innovation in a direction that is not its own. I am not a microsoft fan but they do attempt to help others with out their own products. MS is a monopoly and truly evil like google they are not Creative or Artistic in any way .. there is not one once of internet 2 for the people coming out of Google or MS.

BB is a good platform that deserves to remain strong on its own

"GMail - The enhanced plugin will get an update which allows for read/unread status of email"

Is this two way sync?

I didnt buy the storm 2 for no reason ... there something big coming down the pipelines from RIM and I know it...hopefully sooner rather than later ..

I can feel it and I cant wait...hurry the xxxx up RIM( I will block it myself crackberry team, HE HE )

When its finally release. Is it the carriers choice to update to 3.0? Or just automatic?

Screw the plug-in– why not fix push for gmail? Gmail is my main email account I use on my BB, but it sucks because it doesn't have the two-way sync that Yahoo does. It's really pathetic and annoying. Makes me go through hundreds of duplicate emails. Why no two-way sync?

WTF? Fu#$ the Gmail plugin crap! This does nothing for me. I don't use Gmail. How about an update or a new BlackBerry browser for a better internet experience already??? Get with the fu*$ing program Rim. Technology is leaving you guys behind in the dust. Stop moving at a snails pace already!

I'll be very disappointed if deletes and removing from inbox doesn't sync from gmail down to Blackberry. I hate having to see already deleted or filed email on the Blackberry inbox.

'Bout time we got support for ODF (OpenDocument Format) support... I've had enough of this Microsoft Office rubbish.

Seeing as I've just switched all my domains to Google Apps, the two-way synchronization will be handy too...

and I was more interested in the WMA support. I have an 8900 and MMS a lot, but have issues sending pic and sound together and was wondering if anyone knew if this new support might resolve my issue.

I do use gmail as my primary email address, but have not gotten rid of my yahoo. I use gmail because it supports attachments on BB and yahoo didnt. And I do NOT want/need another email address.

you want to sort to other folders from the BB.
I have to agree with every comment above about the plugin. I certainly hope read/unread status is done without the need for the plugin.
Yahoo and my ISP does it there is no reason gmail shouldn't. I currently have no use for the plugin as is. I would hate to have to install it to get what every other email service can do without one.

Purchased a BB 9530 mint condition,paid to have it unlocked. Two days later it returned to the locked position. V-sims was removed and replaced w/Tm/sims. Curious as to where I went wrong? New kid on block just learning... I've got to do tons of reading. This is a gigantic up grade from my old faitful,I730...

I hope we can get this soon! I am anxious!!!

The article mentioned that BIS 3.0 would be rolled out last weekend in Asia. Any CB members on an Asian carrier that has implemented BIS 3.0 yet? I would like to hear your feedback on the gmail syncing.

As with everything Verizon rolls out..it's always last to reach their users (they're still the only carrier in the "world" who hasn't upgraded the Tour to OS 5.0).

Carriers are themselves responsible for upgrading their BIS to the new versions, so given RIM will roll this out in March I suspect before you close your swimming pools in the Fall you might have it on the Verizon BIS. What a shame :-(

AT&T will never get it, as usual......slow as f**k.

Megaload link doesn't work.
