List of Supported Phones
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=30596&topic=8303
For whatever reason Google has opted not to do simple html which almost any phone would be able to handle. Instead they've funked it up (yeah, I'm not a techie) and thus the limited support which does not include IE/FF.
RE: List of Supported Phones
Only later phones support XHTML.
Furthermore, every phone has different limitations like the maximum size of page. For simple application like stock quote, it is not a problem. However, for application like web mail, one page may be potentially very long and upset some phones. So it is good to be conservative to list proven phones.
My SE K700i is not on the list and it work well.
Why?
What's the advantage here? Is it that so many use the G-mail web system and now it's optimized for mobiles?

RE: Why?
RE: Why?
1. Is free/cheap
2. Is more reliable than VM
VM is actually QUITE robust for basic or middlin' needs. Palm just needs to drastically rewrite it and remove all of the junk legacy bandaids from the old MultiMail days.
Ed does make some good points, Pat. I could conceivably see checking my web on the "web" via something like this on a pohone and, if there's anything of major interest, "permanently" downloading it via VM on my Palm.
Checking anything, even mail2web or mail2wap on WebPro or Blazer makes for an...interesting experience (to say the least!)
