I use google reader for reading blogs. I like it. Going through the settings, I found that reader can be used on the phone. I’ve tried gmail on my phone (Windows Mobile 5) and wasn’t impressed so I had low expectations.

Only thing I’m missing is a setting to disable the scroll bar (number of items can be 5, 10 or 20; I would like an additional choice “auto” that fed me the number of items that fit on my screen). Should be reasonably straight-forward to guesstimate how many goes on the screen: they know how large the client area is and how much a one-liner, two-liner and three-liner takes, and (roughly) how much goes on a line.
I tried the other products too. Nice:
