Google updates 2 mobile services
Google's mobile team seems to be keeping pretty busy these days. The company has released an updated version of Gmail Mobile, and Google Maps now works on phones running the Symbian operating system.Not much more to say about the Symbian support, but Gmail Mobile 1.5 does seem to have a few features absent from version 1.1:
- Display contact information including photo, email address, phone number, and notes when you click on a contact
- Call a Gmail contact by clicking on their phone number, if available
- Save draft e-mails
- Monitor your bandwidth usage
[via Google Operating System]

Well I always thought Google maps suppored the Symbian OS.
I've had it on my phone for at least three months now, are they talking about Symbian GPS support perhaps?

ke, the previous version was a Java application. This is a native Symbian app, which loads and works much faster, looks better, and yeah, supports GPS.
I can barely look at the Java Gmail app now, I hope they're planning to release a Symbian version soon.

T-Mobile still blocks third-party java apps on the majority of their phones. I can download GMail and GMaps, but T-Mobile doesn't allow them to recieve any data from the internet.

I have T-Mobile with the Pearl and they work fine for me. However, the GMail v.1.5 is not yet available for Blackberry.
