Gmail 2 for Treo 700p - Don't Do It!

I downloaded the new version 2 Gmail midlet to my Treo 700p today, and found that it refused to do anything, and pretty much locked up the phone in the process of doing it. I tried a few different work-arounds, and reinstalled once or twice, but to no avail.

To my great relief, I found that Evan Brewer has a copy of the previous 1.5.0 version on his server, as mentioned in his article here. Thank you Evan!
