Gmail problem - tytn automatically selected as LG500U - how to download tytn gmail?

[mmx]

I tried to install gmail and gmaps.
However in the installation it shows the phone as an LG 500u. How do I change so I can download something for the tytn?

I tried to download the gmail app to see what your problem might be, however it will not even install on my 8525.

However, I have a pocket pc version of google maps if you want to try that instead of gmaps.

Also, I have MS Live Search and really recommend that over google maps. It's much easier to use and is a little more feature rich. It's also much better than Windows Live IMO.

most importantly is the GMAIL app.
i can't be without it - I might have to go back to black 2.5 or somthing.
even the lsv... newer versions doesn't work with gmail.

I was able to install it using the cab that JJ posted about here...

However, I am finding it very difficult to run Midlets. They are very clunky. Is there a regular pocket pc application for gmail floating around out there?
