\"Gmail<\/a><\/p>\n

On November 22, 2011, Google discontinued support for mobile Java and BlackBerry versions of its Gmail app and removed the download links for these apps from their sites. The Gmail apps still work and are the best way I’ve found to access Gmail on non-touchscreen feature phones. \u00a0I haven’t used a BlackBerry in years but when I did I used the Google app because it worked better with Gmail than BlackBerry Mail did.<\/p>\n

As these apps still work I’m posting them here for anyone that wants them. \u00a0These are all official versions that I downloaded from the Google servers over a period of years. \u00a0They are unmodified other than changing the URLs in the .jad files to point at the .jar or .cod files on my servers.<\/p>\n

These apps work best on non-touchscreen phones.\u00a0 I’ve run the Gmail app on a N0kia N8 touchscreen phone and it works but it’s frustratingly difficult to accurately tap the correct items in the tiny hierarchical menus<\/p>\n
