To be fair, the BlackBerry/Gmail relationship is alive and well, but it takes the form of BIS synchronization which, as I know all too well, has many many idiosyncracies.
What has ended is Google's development/support of a native Gmail client, which is what I have preserved in the link provided.
Personally I have made a transition (certainly not a smooth one) to using the (RIM/GOOG) preferred means of email, etc. But every so often I want certain features I can only find in this client. It is disappointing for sure, but at the very least we have some means of getting what WE prefer.

Menu button > Search by > Advanced > Search Messages > Remotely
I'm glad I could help you.

I used 2.0.7 with zero issues on my non-touch screen 9700.
Obviously there have been some folks who had install issues, so perhaps the earlier version will help them out. But I'm reasonably confident that version has nothing to do with the 'download errors' some folks have reported.

I have tried to re-install the gmail app several times following the instructions above. It seems to install on my phone, but won't launch. Any suggestions?

The link works perfectly on my BB 9700 on OS6. EPIC WIN brother! It actually spawned me to become a member of CB just to thank you. Surprised that it took me two years of BB use to finally become a member here but better late than never!
For those that are having issues: On your Blackberry, try typing in the thread url exactly and then click on the Gmail link provided. Should prompt you to download just like it used to.
