Ok. I am very annoyed with my BB Curve 8330 Verizon. I received an email in my gmail which I access through google apps. I can open the picture but cannot save it. What gives? I am new from WM^ which could do this no problem. I really want to love this device but this is very annoying. Als still cant get Word or Excel attachments to work. I have the latest OS and registered and updated not upgraded my Doc to Go

If you have your gmail pushed to your phone you can save attachments, Im unsure if you can do it with an app, I dont think you can.

I usually forward the email from my gmail app back to my blackberry. I'm then able to re- download and save the attachments.

Ok. So what I did is set up my gmail account on my BB as a seperate account. I then set up my corp email as a seperate accoount as well by adding an acct and putting my corp email info in the fields. So now I have a 3 folders on my BB one for my corp email address, one for my gmail and the message folder which houses both my corp and gmail messages together. I dont think I am going to be using the messages folder much any more since i have the seperate accounts. However, one observation I have made is that my gmail folder shows I have new messages until I delete them from the messages folder which is annoying. My seperate gmail folder can be totally empty but will show new messages. If I delete them from the messages folder the little icon that shows new messages will then and only then disappear.

Also I can now view and DL and save all types of attachments (pictures, word, excel ect)from both accounts which I could not do before.

I do wish there was an option to password protect my gmail account folder though. I would hate for someone to pick up my BB like m kids maybe and open an inappropriate email

Another curious thing is when I go into my gmail and click options it shows my corp email addy as the message service under email settings and email reconcilliation. If I click on that it drops down to my gmail addy. I guess it has my corp addy just as what is displayed? I dont know.

Either way I think I have found my work around for my attachment issue even though I did not want to have my gmail go through the BIS but the Google App service just didnt do what I wanted it to since I couldnt save or DL attachments

You can get an app, I think called Empower pro that will give you seperate boxes, so I *think* you can use your messages for gmail, and the BES icon for your corp mail

Read thru this, and see if it looks like it may help, there is also a trial you have to see before buying

I also have the gmail app and like it, but

when I get an attachment, doc, xls, pdf I cannot save it to open in docs2go.

I try to forward it to my att.blackberry.net email but that gets forwarded to my gmail account. I never set it up that way, but it does.

How can I make it quit doing that??? Please help
