Couple Glyde issues...can you help?

Just got my Glyde yesterday and I'm trying to load the mobile versions of Gmail and Google Maps onto the phone. When I go to the sites (gmail.com/app and google.com/gmm) in the phone's browser, Google is able to detect that I have a Samsung phone and provides a link to download the apps, but when I "click" on the download links, nothing happens. Anyone know what the problem is?

I also tried setting up Gmail with Verizon's Mobile Email and that didn't work either.

Also...anyone have trouble getting the battery cover off?

The Gmail app is a Java app. You can't run Java on a Verizon Wireless phone.

Can't help with Mobile Email--never used that. Hopefully there will be some other BREW clients avaialble soon. Remo Mail is $3 per month and works pretty well.

You can log in directly to Gmail using the Glyde's browser.
