There has been a lot of talk about the new Gmail plugin for Blackberry and while the plugin adds quite a bit of functionality to your Gmail inbox there are some downsides to it as well in my opinion. I have quite a few business email accounts from my websites, a personal Gmail account, and recently have added a new business Gmail account. This can make my icon screen quite chaotic and to add to the mayhem the Gmail plugin actually adds an extra icon for the SAME inbox, 2 ICONS is this really necessary? So I recently decided to delete my BIS Gmail accounts and go download the Gmail mobile application again. For those of you that are new to Blackberry this application adds a few key features that I find quite desirable. Before I go into the features the app can be found at m.google.com/mail I have also included Google's video overview of the application below.
Key Features:
- The ability to log out(since you can not "pause" BIS email accounts)
- Manage multiple Gmail accounts(Work, Personal, Etc.)
- Search inbox(including your chats if you log them)
- View Gmail contacts
- Add stars to your messages
