Boost Mobile users with the Motorola i776 get a ‘phone not suported’ error when trying to install the Gmail Mobile app. Here’s a workaround to get you set up with Gmail Mobile 1.5.

Download and save this zip file: gm15.zip
Follow the instructions at this website.

After you get it installed and running, setup one of your hotkeys to point to Gmail by going to Settings/Personalize. This way you don’t have to run it from the Java Apps screen. This package may also work on some of the other Motorola iden phones…if so post a comment!

There is also Gmail Mobile 2.0, and though it will install on the i776, it will not run.

It seems installing Office 2007 will eliminate the English dictionary from Outlook Express 6, often setting it to French. Microsoft recommends third party spell checkers, or moving to France. I’d say now is a good time to switch to a better email program like Thunderbird.

While you are at that url, check out their shameless promotion of the lame ass Live.com search site:

“You can also use a search site to find spell-checking programs. For example, you can search for spell-checking programs at the following Web site: http://www.live.com”

Also, spell checking is not supported in the 64-bit version of Outlook Express.
