IMHO, graffiti within GVM ain't all that...

I spent more time correcting the letter "H" with the thing then it would have taken to form the letter on granite with a dang hammer and chisel.

I don't have any problem using the native email app with Gmail settings. Once you trust yourself with semi-blind typing you can get quite fast with the N800's on screen thumb board.

...so I wouldn't use GVM for email.

At this time GVM is a curiosity for me. It shows what a properly built JAVA VM could do... There are now 1,000's of specialized J2ME apps out there, many more than Palm apps I would think.
