Gmail app for bb?

[C.Knowledge]

Hey guys is the gmail app still available for bbs? if not are there any solutions to still have the e-mails pushed without using another e-mail client? Any help is aporeciated.

apps, games and widgets aside, I really admire Android's integration for all the google services being so conveniently accessible to google docs, calendar etc. If someone can make an app that does that for BB or playbook, I would be so happy haha.

I take it ide have to go through the longer winded process of logging into gmail manualy everytime i want to receive my e-mail, or just use a different e-mail client, oh dear never mind, hopefully someone will create a seamless intergration for bb one day aye.

Too bad you need an app to do that. I just set it up as one of my email accounts and it works. No app needed. I thought Android phones could do that, too. At least that's what your profile says you have. So BB has better gmail integration than Android?

Well the thing is, i dont need an app for my android phone it works ok, however, im actually gonna be converting to a bb 9790, at long long long last, the android is doing my head in, cant wait to collect my bb from the store tomorrow. I knew that google stopped doing the gmail app for bb, but didnt know you can still have the e-mail sent straight to the phone, so thats real good news to me.

Congratulations for ur new bb whenever u get.
Even I, when i reverted from my nokia e series, was desperate for this app. Its working like a charm on my 8520 and will hopefully work on urs too.

Not nessecarily. The link directly force opens the bbbrowser and the installation starts thereafter so u just need to click the link from ur bb with any browser. Then the usual: it will ask for permissions and u r good to go.

You can set up your gmail with your Blackberry as part of the BIS service and have your email pushed through using the blackberry service along with your contacts and calendar, no need to use the separate app. Just use the email setup wizard when you start up your blackberry.

Oh ok, i thought that when google said they will not be making the app available for bbs anymore, that i would not be able to have them pushed. Thats great info, so all my contacts etc should be able to sync straight to the device then? If so thats even more perfect. Thsnks for the info
