We've just heard from the boys and girls at RIM that the company did, in fact, deploy the long-awaited two-way Gmail synchronization capability to North American BIS users this week. What does that mean, exactly? Well, it means that if you've got a BlackBerry on any North American carrier that isn't going through BES, Gmail should behave more like it should -- deleted items will disappear from your phone, emails read elsewhere will show up as read on the device, and you'll have access to all of your sent items. Oh, and you can create and delete labels from the comfort of your QWERTY thumb board, too, which is a sweet deal. Sure, the feature might be literally years late as far as we're concerned -- but hey, better late than never.
this is a great news
OMG! really? This is newsworthy?
Haha, BB sucks! Pathetic!
@guigsy wow, you're just bursting with positivty aren't you
Wow... That's all I can say about this.
When your main feature is email and you can't even do that right.. Well, you're doing it wrong, to say the least.
Haha, Blackberry! So far behind.
Make some more dancing videos. That'll help.
Confirmed, long waited Gmail sync works like a charm!
I also recommend Gmaps v4, Awesome! but still wating for turn-by-turn feature.
The sync is pretty pathetic. The fact that it takes an hour or so for the read/unread to sync to the device. Its clear RIM has no desire to be a serious player in the consumer space.
