I've tried several times over the last few days and I CAN'T connect. Phone just times out after about 30 secs.

The phone connects fine to http://www.google.co.za/wml or to http://www.google.com.

Also when I browse to http://m.gmail.com using Opera (which can browse xml/wml pages) I get the error: "XML parsing failed: mismatched tag (Line: 27, Character: 439)". Firefox gives a similar error.

Hey i get the same thing as u Sig_ZA trying to find another browser to try gmail mobile on but no luck yet. And i havent found anyone who has got it to work on opera mini!

well, you can get to the 'normal' site (http://gmail.google.com) using opera mini
but the connection is not secure, so i've never actually logged in using it...

Found this in the opera forums and it worked for me - http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=116423

The following workaround worked for me (I got a parse error on the m.gmail.com page too):
+ open the standard www.gmail.com webpage on your mobile and sign in with 'remember ...' enabled
+ go back to the mini start page, without logging out from gmail
+ open m.gmail.com and you should go directly log into your account.
(it should skip the problem page and open in m.gmail directly)

They're aware of the problem at least.

Check your mail from your cellphone via http://m.gmail.com

i've been trying this every now and then ever since i heard of it, but had no luck on my nokia series 40 xhtml browser... until tonight. don't know what they did, but it is now working for me

so, i thought i'd resurrect this here 'ol thread in case it now also works for some of you other guys who were experiencing problems before...
