Gmail is Different
Gmail is web-based:Your messages are stored on-line, on
GoogleTM servers; but you read, write, and organize messages by
using the Gmail application on your phone, or by using a web
browser on a computer. Because your mail is stored on Google
servers, you can search your entire message history, backed by
the speed and power of Google search.
Actions that you take in one place are reflected everywhere. For
example, if you read a message in Gmail on your phone, it will be
marked as read in a web browser. And a message that you send
using a browser, or even a draft of a message, is visible in Gmail
on the phone.
Gmail is conversation-based:Each message and all replies to it
are grouped in your Inbox as a single conversation. In other email
applications, replies to messages are spread across your Inbox,
typically by date received, so a message and the replies to it are
separated by other messages. Gmail makes it easy to follow the
thread of a conversation.
Gmail is organized by labels, not by folders:By tagging
messages with labels, you can organize your conversations in
many different ways. Whereas in other email applications, each
message can live in only one folder. For example, with Gmail you
can label a conversation with your mother about your brother's
birthday present with both
“
Mom
”
and
“
Dave.
”
Later, you can look
for the all messages containing either label. Using folders, you'd
have to store the message in the
“
Mom
”
folder or the
“
Dave
”
folder, not both.
Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile: Some features are
only accessible on your computer browser The best place to
organize and learn about Gmail is the web. For example, you can't
use the Gmail application on the phone to create the labels and
filters that you use to organize your messages, but you can label a
message. Gmail on the web offers complete information about
the service, so it's the best place to learn about all of the features
of Gmail.
GmailTM

Gmail is for Gmail: Of course you can use Gmail to send email to
any email address, and anyone can send email to you at your
Gmail address. But if you want to read messages from another
email service provider (using your AOL, Yahoo!, or other email
account), you must use the Email application. See
“
Email

such as TalkBack.
Text-to-Speech settings screen
If you don’t have speech synthesizer data installed, only the
Install voice data setting is available.
Listen to an example Plays a brief sample of the speech
synthesizer, using your current settings.
Install voice data If your phone does not have speech synthesizer
data installed, this option connects to Android Market and guides
you through the process of downloading and installing the data.
This setting is not available if the data is already installed.
Always use my settings Allows the phone to use your default
settings and override the application settings.
Speech rate Allows you to select how quickly you want the
synthesizer to speak.
Language Allows you to select the language of the text you want
the synthesizer to read. This is particularly useful in combination
with the Always Use My Settings setting, to ensure that text is
spoken correctly in a variety of applications.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the
exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility
Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be
compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to
ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for
persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more
immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also
vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for
wireless phones, to assist hearing device users to find phones that
may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have
been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a
label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the
user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device
happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to
use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones
that are not labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
Safety

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this
rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively
immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone
rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered
acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use.
In the example to the left, if a hearing aid meets
the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets
the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values
equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user
with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid
with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context
is defined as a signal quality that’s acceptable for normal
operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T
mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T
marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications
Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in
Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement
procedure are described in the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
When you're talking on a cell phone, it's recommended that you
turn the BT (Bluetooth) mode off for HAC.
