Gmail notification on cell phone?

Is it possible to get a notification that you have a Gmail message on your cell phone? I have AT&T for my cell phone service. Its just a pain to log in to your account each time to see if you have a message. Thanks for the info .

I just searched google and there are a bunch of ways.

The easiest one is to set up google to forward the emails to your phones email address, assuming your phone has one.

I remember when I had my Nextel it use to be xxxxxxxxxx@messaging.nextel.com, google your provider to find it, and then use it that way. If it doesn't work or you don't have a email address read here for more ways.

Might also depend on what phone you are using?

agreed, I tried the forawding thing, kind of a pain, but you could set a filter for important emails, and have them forwarded to xxxxxxxxxx@txt.att.net. it'll eat up text though, because there is no way to limit the lenght/amount of text.

If it's a smartphone (Palm) you can use Activesync to get it. I think the windows based ones can as well but not sure.
