After angry screaming matches over the phone with the LG customer support (omg, I hate LG now, never buy their phones) And T-Mobile trying to be nice and helpful but ultimately failing, I trial and errorred my way into having gmail right from the messaging section, rather than having to go to gmail through your web browser. One of the pros of having gmail right under messages is you can take a picture and email it from your gmail, rather than MMS.

Once you follow the instructions below, you should be able to access your email. Bad news is, they'll import your most ancient email ever known to mankind, and they will only store like 300 of those emails. If you want your most recent emails.... youre prob gonna have to go through and delete all the old ones from the phone until it hits the new ones. If someone knows how to solve this problem, please comment!!
I got a separate gmail just so I could email pictures, so I didn't have problems with ancient email cluttering my inbox. You can always check your email through the horrible web browser and go to m.gmail.com . The Prob with m.gmail.com is that you can't send attachments, and your mailbox on the Prada phone can.

To set up your phone data internet for Tmobile.....
I went to http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/ and used the settings for the KE850. Yes, Prada 2's older sister. It worked for me. Please note, none of the other wireless configurations worked for me (MMS, Email) so just use this for the data plan. If the KE900 settings don't work, try the KF750. If those still don't work, Tmobile is MUCH more helpful than LG, even though they don't have any info on the KF900. LG will just spout how its a network problem, and how international phones aren't meant to be used in the states. BULL. They're call INTERNATIONAL phones, not friggin Europe-and-Asia-and-Everywhere-else-EXCEPT-the-US-phones.


Oh... My long list of Prada 2 phone grievances...
