Google finally got around to fixing Gmail on the Blackberry and J2ME phones like the Nokia N95 or Sony Ericsson W910i. Now you can compose emails while offline. When you hit “send, they sit in the outbox until your handset finds a network again. Gmail is also being updated with the ability to compose and save more than one draft at the same time, toggle between different email accounts, and it is introducing more shortcut keys.
The offline capability will come in really handy on the subway. As a New York City resident, that’s where I get a lot of my emails done. And as a Blackberry owner, it’s always annoyed me that I could read my emails but not to respond to any while en route to work. Now, my BlackBerry can do what Gmail on my iPhone and Android handsets can do. Just in time for the Blackberry Storm, too.
Just wondering, do you really need three phones?
I often ask myself the same question. And the answer is, no, I only really need two phones :)
One more thing.. you can add and use more than one accounts. Yay!
You can include Google Apps accounts into the mix too. Very nice.
now they need to fix the issue where it sends the email back to you when u send it from your blackberry
peterpan, you and “fix” that by setting up a filter in your blackberry account. (ie don’t deliver messages sent from me to my device)
on my Mogul with 6.1 the softkeys are kinda hosed. When I press Menu it shows up on the left and when I press Refresh it opens the email that is highlighted.
:(
i mean it shows up on the right…
I use the HTC, i use all of the with oput any trouble.Its java software
It’s okay, their in Beta ;o)

I wish they’d invest some more time in making the regular blackberry email work as well with google mail as it does with yahoo.
I don’t want a specialized closed mail client on my blackberry
Did they fix it, or added as feature ? :)
They added new features. This is not a fix. The first one is positive news. Your headline sounds negative.
If it was Apple, the headline would probably say “Apple boosts iPhone with incredible new features!”
what city are you in, that doesn’t have cell phone service in the subway?
i’m live in Chi and we do. just curious.
New York City.
