Simple Gmail iPhone Interface Launcher for Symbian

1. A friend of mine, David R. Gilson of AAS (he also writes on his own blog https://www.davidgilson.co.uk), tweeted about how great it would be to be able to view his Gmail using iPhone interface, on his Nokia devices.

2. Knowing that Nokia/Symbian devices are also using an internet browser based on WebKit, I thought, maybe I could try…

3. With my limited HTML skill, I wrote this very simple WRT Widget to launch Gmail iPhone web interface on Nokia/Symbian built-in Web browser, without the need to enter the long URL. Just click on the icon and the page will be opened. It’s just a shortcut to the correct Gmail GP (Grand-prix : the codename for Google iPhone interface) URL.

4. It is compatible with WRT enabled devices only (S60 3rd Edition FP1, S60 3rd Edition FP2, S60 5th Edition and Symbian^3). The screenshots below was taken from Nokia N8.

5. If you use supported Symbian devices from Samsung or Sony Ericsson, you can tell us whether it works or not ;-)

Enjoy! Oh!… It’s free… as in air, and seawater ;-)
