I just installed the Gmail App (2.0.7) on the Tour and though it installed fine, required the expected reboot, and shows up in the Applications List...there is no icon for Gmail (red envelope) anywhere, either displayed or hidden. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Gmail with the same problem. Any clues?
I have a Gmail account but don't install any of their applications on my BB, I guess it's because I had an 8830 and 8330 and with everything else installed, I'd loose too much memory.
Now, I have my Gmail account coming to my phone through BIS, what are the advantages of installing the program you did?
I've tried Gmail in all ways on a BB and have always preferred the Gmail App. It's laid out exactly as my Gmail account, which is my primary email, and it's easier to interact with labels, etc. in the native BB Gmail account. It's just a preference, I guess, but it also works just fine as a regular BB email app.
