I use the Blackberry Playbook with OS2.0 to read GMail.  Up till today this was fine .... but today all 'hell has broken loose'.

I am fed the most dreadful basic gmail view possible - unusable.

By using 'help' and following links, I can eventually obtain Basic HTML view. (involves about five links)

Gmail Mobile is simply not available.

When I use 'contact us' to report an issue, GMail identies me as using a SAGEM PUMA!!I don't think so! I have cleaned the Playbook Cache etc and rebooted - problem does not go away.

My Blackberry Torch does not have the problem.

OUCH! Google: please do something fast.

Oh .. and by the way for a brief moment I used Mail2Web to successfully read GMail before Google locked that out. NOT GOOD!

Sadly, as usual, the geeks have taken control and ruined the punter's experience!
