Digital Streets

I use T-Mobile for my cellular service.  For a few months, T-Mobile was allowing the Gmail App to be utilized on it’s tzones internet package.  Long enough for me to become totally addicted to it.  The Gmail App for accessing your Gmail on your cell phone is a super application.  I guess too super, since T-Mobile is now blocking the ports that are required for the application to function.  I don’t understand the decision, since I can tether my cell phone to my laptop for internet access, which would be a lot more traffic than just email.  I could use my WAP browser, or better yet, my Opera Mini to access Gmail, but it just wasn’t the same.  Then I came across flurry. 

While it is by no means the Gmail App, it does fine in email access, but it does quite a bit more.  It allows you to check multiple email accounts on your phone, imports contacts, acts as a RSS feed reader, sends pictures from your phone, and even can send you a text message when you get new mail.  If you’re a T-Mobile user (and even if you’re not), it is definitely worth checking out.
