Only got a gmail account and blackberry 8100 pearl this week so a newbie
I downloaded the g mail application and calendar sync but when I try and run them the gmail just hangs whilst loading and the synce says network error.
I have seen other people with similar problem but not seen the solution?
Okay, here are my thoughts. First, perhaps you don't have the correct APN information entered. In that case I would suggest you call vodafone and ask for the correct settings.
Second, if that is not the issue, then I suspect you only have a regular data plan, and not a BlackBerry data plan. A regular data plan may work for browsing web sites, but will not allow any third party apps to connect. You would need to add a BB data plan to your service in this case.
