Those folks over at Mountain View aren’t just obsessing over phones and televisions, it’s also added a few more treats for those of us who use the offline email mode in Chrome. Now you can choose if you want to save 7, 14 or 31 days of backdated missives for those ten-hour flights spent with some guy’s elbow stuck in your ribcage. You’ll also find that your attachments will be available for use sans-internet and that keyboard shortcuts now work with the app — as well as several minor performance updates and bug fixes. The revamped gear will trickle down your tube ready for the next time you open the app, just in time for that return flight from Las Vegas that no-one in particular is dreading.

Just in time to thank Grandma for that polyester blend sweater, comes more free domestic calling in Gmail for the US and Canada. In the spirit of holiday giving, Mountain View has decided to extend its gratis VoIP program for another year of free chatter. Of course, we’re not sure if the holiday cheer will last forever, which may once again give us a valid excuse to avoid Uncle Lester’s calls.

Well, this is awkward. Samsung’s PR team tweeted the above picture of Alex Ioannou as he officially became the first person to pick up a Galaxy Nexus in the UK. But Alex just got in touch to tell us that he’s less than satisfied. We only have his word to go on at this point (and for all we know he could be secretly working for LG), but he insists he’s having trouble syncing with Gmail because the usual account setup options are missing. Instead, his phone was apparently preloaded with a bunch of weird dev stuff — including the handy option to “Report a WTF condition.” We’re desperately hoping that he was handed a developer handset by mistake and this will all be resolved when he exchanges. He’s back in the store right now and says that apologetic reps are feeding him with ice cream sandwiches while he waits. Check out the ‘After’ photo and screenshots just beyond the break.

Google has already made quite a few significant cuts to services it’s deemed outside of its focus in the past few months, and it’s now made another that surely won’t please a particular subset of its users. It’s announced that it will end support of the Gmail app for BlackBerry phones on November 22nd. Those that have the app installed will be able to continue using it indefinitely, but it will no longer be supported by Google or available for download after the cut-off date (so you might want to grab it now if you don’t already have it). In its place, Google is directing BlackBerry users to the mobile web app accessible through the browser, and it notes that it will “continue investing in this area.”

We’re here at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC, where Boost Mobile is showing off its latest prepaid Android smartphone running on Sprint’s 3G CDMA network, the ZTE warp. If you’ll recall, this 1GHz Gingerbread-equipped device dropped on November 2nd for $250, only to receive a price drop to $200 days later. Boost is citing the Warp’s 4.3-inch WVGA display as the largest of its current offerings, along with its 5-megapixel, LED flash-equipped camera (raising the count up from the two on its $229 Samsung Transform Ultra). The phone is Android Market-compatible and comes with a 2GB microSD card for storage, which can be maxed out to 32GB. So, did the Warp feel worthy of its moniker in the few minutes we spent with it? Join us past the break for our impressions.
