Gmail SUCKS on Status?

---

Hi,

Went to AT&T today to get a Status but decided to play with it first. I have a Legend and absolutely despise it for all its flaws and need a keyboard.

I went into the Gmail app and was appalled by about 2 lines worth of text? The top was filled with oversized gmail icons and the bottom ditto but with some buttons. Add in the status bar and there's virtually no room for the actual email.

Can this be fixed somehow or do you all just live with it?

I don't understand why no manufacturer dares making a premium candybar qwerty/blackberry killer. Except for the Motorola Pro which is huge there really isn't anything viable. I had my hopes up for the Status, let's see what Q4 brings.

did u tried changing the text size thru setting?

Yeah, put it at tiniest and it was still useless since the reply and delete menus were oversized. Have you tried?

You're right the gmail app is poor. Top row of stuff way too big.
K9 mail is better, but not as simple sadly

yeah, its really annoying.
i had try htc mail, but its not simple as gmail.

anyone has solution ?

I've gotten used to it.

The gmail app has been updated, you can now choose to turn off the toolbar at the top and stop it from scrolling down the page

Nice, does it work better now? Screenshot?

The update did improve things a lot. The upper bar scrolls out of the way, so theres more reading area.

which version has the "good" version of gmail ?

i have here installed the v 2.3.4.1 ... where is the better version ?

cheers, Peter
