It looks awesome...my hesitancy is that I've had the same email address for 5 years.
 
 Do you need to be invited?

[ggw]

Will there be a presale?

[thirsty moore]

Yeh, and Frank Black's a fan.

This is pretty funny from the Gmail faq:
 
 "It has ads. But only good ads."

Yeah, for now, it's invitation-only. Gmail is still in beta-test mode.

 can you transfer over address books easily? i don't want to have to enter 250 new email addresses.
 
 my friends who have gmail, love it.

I have a buch of gmail invites if anyone wants one PM me with an email addy to send them too.  Just FYI Yahoo and Hotmail (and others prolly)forward the invites to Spam folders (guess they are afraid of the competition!)

just remember that GMail will serve up ads by scanning your e-mails for key words.  So yeah, a Google bot's reading your e-mail.  Some folks won't be bothered by that, others will.
