Has anyone been able to get the Gmail App working on a Touch Pro?

[Morter Forker]

I have a fully flashed sprint touch pro running on cricket. When ever I try to use the Gmail app it times out saying that it cannot find a data connection. It is almost as if the thing can not access the data connection. I did a search last night for this and could not find a solution.

I would use Gmail as a normal email account, but Cricket does not allow access to the imap/pop/smtp ports on their network. Any help is appreciated.
