T-Mobile Blocking Google or Google Blocking T-Mobile?

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

This is weird. I’m in Providence, connected to the Internet via T-Mobile EDGE (PowerBook to Treo via Bluetooth) and everything works just fine… except anything at google.com (including gmail.com). http://www.google.com/pda is the only google property that works. What’s stranger is that I can access these sites from my Treo’s browser fine, just not from any browser on my computer. I’m not the only one, and this has been going on for a long time. Yahoo works just fine, though. I wonder if there’s an easy way to load my gmail archive into Yahoo! mail?
