Good Mobile Messaging 4.9 push email client | Reg Hardware

GMM’s pitch is bringing the benefits of push email and personal information to a range of devices, not just the ones RIM makes. And that means you have the freedom to change hardware at a future date and retain the Good look’n'feel.

The downside is that look and feel: it’s basic and functionally a long way behind the PIM and email apps integrated into today’s smart phones and PDAs. That said, it certainly works well. But if you’re used to using a device’s own apps, GMM feels like a step backward.

GMM’s server side may appeal to IT departments, but the client needs sprucing up if it’s to win over end-users.

A fair and balanced review by Tony at The Register.

I don’t quite agree that the look and feel is a downside. I think it’d be nice to have something a bit sexier from GMM — but really, the fact I can easily query my entire 1.4gig email folder, from the train, ….. pure sex…

(… in a technical way.)

I still love you GMM.

Happy Valentine’s Day GMM.

KISS.

SMOOCH.

Heh.
