Mobile GMail

Looks like those fine folks over there are Google are at it again. This time, they are bringing us mobile GMail. Now sure, some are thinking, "I already have a Blackberry, why should I care?". Well, for me, I simply like the fact that it allows me to seperate my personal life from my business life. Yes, I have a Blackberry, but I still cart my personal mobile with me regardless. The last thing I want is to combine the two; then I would never be able to truly "get away".

Anyways, peep it on your phone. For those using LG on Verizon, I highly recommend changing your browsers homepage from that ridiculous Verizon one by doing the following:

  • Menu 0 (zero) - That should bring up a dialog asking for a service code
  • Enter all 0's (zeroes) until the Service Menu appears
  • Select Wap Setting
  • Select Homepage
  • Change this to be whatever you want, I recommend http://google.com/xhtml/ or now http://m.gmail.com

    • On a sad note, I tried using https://m.gmail.com, but the certificate on that server doesn't match the domain so the phone automatically rejects it. Hopefully Google will get this fixed soon.
