Nice one, Google
If you use a Razr and you use Google’s Gmail for e-mail, you owe it to yourself to download their new free Java application.
Point your phone’s Web browser to www.gmail.com/app to download the wee file and you’re off to the races. (The e-mail races. The ones with the fast e-mail horses. But then I analogize too much … )
The application, released today, works with pretty much any Java-enabled phone. In my quick 10-minute test, the interface is much slicker than trying to navigate Gmail with the regular Web browser. E-mail threads appear similarly to what they do on the regular InterWebz and I was able to open up a Word document and image attachments with no fuss and next to no muss.
The Razr doesn’t exactly feature the best mobile Web browsing around and this free file makes life just a little more bearable for those of us who opted for fashion over form when choosing a cell phone. (Why, oh why, didn’t I just buy a Treo in the first place? Oh yeah … because the Razr is preeeetty.)

Ah man, this is sweet! I have the razor knock off (Samsung A900) and use it all the time to check my gmail. This makes it so much better. Thanks!
