^me too! Gmail, maps, etc.
I did it by goin' to Googles' site and then sent a SMS link; the rest self-installed.

How did you try to load them? What were the specific results (error messages, etc.)?

oops I have to have 10 posts to put links in

LaPerla · 02-21-2009, 12:11 PM

Well, I sent the link to my phone, opened it and got to this page

Clicked on visit now and had this

No downloads or sefl installation prompt.
I have installed Google maps on my Palm T/X before never had a problem

as far as I know, you need a data plan first, i.e. google mail doesn't work with wifi. I tried on flip once wifi is on.
