Gmail mobile application for BlackBerry®
smartphones
Have you ever needed to check for an email
that you're expecting, read an attachment, and respond to the
message while you were away from your computer? Then you know
how important mobile email can be. With Google Apps, BlackBerry®
smartphone users can access their mail around town with a slick
new Gmail application. Download the free application by browsing
to http://m.google.com/a from the internet browser on your
BlackBerry® smartphone. Within minutes, you'll be sending and
reading messages, just like you can from a standard computer
browser. It's fast, and allows access to your entire message
archive. You can even open attachments, like Microsoft Word
documents, PDF files and photos. This application is free from
Google, but carrier charges may apply.
Gmail access from mobile browsers
You can also check your email from your
phone's web browser. Just browse to
http://mail.google.com/a/your-domain.com. This service is free
from Google, but carrier charges may apply.
Google Talk mobile application for
BlackBerry® smartphones
You can also stay connected your contacts
while you're away from your computer with the Google Talk
application for BlackBerry® smartphones, offered by BlackBerry®.
Just browse to http://www.blackberry.com/GoogleTalk to download

uses the same familiar interface for your Google Apps contact

with them from anywhere. This application is free, but carrier
charges may apply.
Google Calendar synchronization tool for
BlackBerry® smartphones
With Google Sync for mobile, your BlackBerry®
calendar application stays synchronized with your Google Apps
calendar. Appointments added or changed online will be reflected
on your BlackBerry®, and changes you make on your BlackBerry®
will show up in Google Calendar. Just go to
http://m.google.com/sync from your BlackBerry® browser to
download and install the Google Sync for mobile application. The
application is free from Google, but carrier charges may apply.

If you don't have a BlackBerry® smartphone,
you can still access your calendar from your phone. Just browse
to http://calendar.google.com/a/your-domain.com. This service is
free from Google, but carrier charges may apply.
Google Calendar SMS access
And how often do you find yourself out and
about, needing to know what's coming up next on your agenda? Or
having to quickly add something to your calendar? With Google
Calendar's SMS capabilities, not only can you get event
notifications sent to your phone, you can also interact with
your calendar by sending SMS commands. To see what's on tap
today, text the word "day" to 48368 (which spells GVENT), and
Google Calendar will reply with a summary of today's agenda.
Sending the word "next" results in details about your next
appointment. If you send a phrase with information about
something you want to add to your calendar, like "meeting with
Sam next Tuesday at 11am", Google Calendar will add the new
event to your schedule at the right time, on the right day. This
feature is free from Google, but carrier charges may apply.
Google Docs access from mobile browsers
Access and view your Google Docs on your
Blackberry®, iPhone®, Windows Mobile phone or other phones which
support the Webkit browser. With spreadsheets, you can choose
xls format to view it through the phone's default spreadsheet
viewer, "view document" for the basic published page, or "flat
view" to make wide spreadsheets more readable. Currently,
presentations can only be viewed on the iPhone®. This feature is
free from Google, but carrier charges may apply.
