I had earlier posted list of Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic Tube Apps few days back. Those are the ones I am using on my tube.
In the same list I had mentioned about the GMail for Mobile app which is being used in my Nokia 5800. ‘Gmail for Mobile’ is a Java based gmail client in nokia 5800 provided by Google. Well this post says ‘Official GMail Mobile for Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic ‘Tube”, dont take me wrong, GMail for Mobile do not have a specific version for Nokia 5800, instead the one available (version 2.0.6 when I write this post) is compatible with Nokia 5800 tube as well!
Following is the snapshot of my login screen I posted earlier, but had mentioned that it is not properly a fit for Nokia 5800 since it had the gaming control buttons on GMail for Mobile screen and it was seeming as if this app is not exactly suitable for Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic.
Well I was too early into my conclusions, which I would like to correct here. Following is the snapshot of same app without those ugly looking buttons. Isn’t it looking better?
GMail for Mobile is available for download at http://m.google.com/mail, when you open this link on your mobile browser. Open this link on your Nokia 5800’s own browser, download and install the app.
Once you install the app, go to Settings > Application Manager > Installed App. On the list of applications, locate GMail for Mobile you just installed. Highlight it (select by touching with your finger once), then on the Options menu, open ‘Suite Settings’. This opens a list of application settings for the app on your ‘Tube’. Switch off ‘On-screen keyboard’, to remove those buttons as in my first snap from the application screen.
Now start GMail for Mobile app, you will get a full screen view of the application. You can further customize the app by opening settings inside the application. Select larger fonts for a better menu and readability.

I do not see the “reply” button on gmail app in my Nokia 5800 once I open a mail. So I am unable to reply to any messages using my mobile.
I dont see the “forward” button as well.
Any solutions?
Thanks
