Progress using gmail
Since the time I got my replacement, I re-loaded the Facebook application, Yelp app, and have been searching for an app that I can use to track my sales call (I haven’t found anything yet).
I loaded the gmail application. This one acts more like an email client than the basic Blackberry app for text messages. The gmail app allows me to check my “sent mail”, “compose” new mail, and has the feel of a typical client. However, it does NOT support folders nor have I found a way to easily create a contact list. You would think I could use the contacts that I already have, but it does not seem to work.
Overall, I like the application. I went to the primary gmail account and uploaded my configuration so that it would retrieve email from my earthlink account. Now I can get both my earthlink and gmail mail right on my Blackberry. Since gmail is involved I do not get spam either.
