What version of the android, in Settings -> About phone -> Build number (
ex. FRFxx ) ? If less than FRF50 - see the FAQ.

Is the phone using WiFi or mobile network when problem occurs ?
WiFi

If Wifi,
are you behind a firewall that blocks outgoing connections ?
So far no.

Can you open "Gmail" application ? Do you see new messages without hitting
'refresh' ?
Currently not tested

Can you open "Talk" application ? Do you see incoming chats ?
