Google Hosted Blackberry Application for Mail on Hermes?

[Christos]

I have just noticed that Google have released a Blackberry application for their Google Mail Hosted service for domains.

They suggest users visit m.google.com/a on their Blackberry for further info.

This doesn't work on a Hermes device, as the browser is recognized as not being a Blackberry.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use this (or some other way) to access GMail *hosted* accounts using push in some way?

could you provide a link to where it gives the software application? (apart form the visit on blackberry site).

I wish I could, but unfortunately I can't!

Unless anyone knows how to fake the User Agent in an http request, to fool Google into thinking that I'm using a Blackberry browser? That may trick the site into allowing me to download the app and grab the correct URL of the file...

ok, i went ahead and did some playing around. first i changed my firefox user agent to blackberry, went to the site. it made me download a small java descriptor (attached). that linked to a JAR download location which i downloaded.

it does not install though, says failed to install midlet.
