Thanks again for the invite! I just got my hands on G mail 5.0 and have been trying both out a little. I think I like the new G mail 5.0 better than Inbox. Just my opinion though...others may like Inbox better. I like the ability to add other accounts to G mail right from the phone (Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.)...very cool! I am going to leave Inbox installed (just turned off Notifications for now) in case Google ever sends me invites and to keep experimenting with.
Do a Google search. All of the Android news sites have download links. Make sure you get the new one. The one from Halloween isn't final.
Our wait for it to hit your device. They officially released it to the play store early today.

Found then.apk file on CNet.com. They promised it was a real, signed copy by Google. So far...working good for me.

Very cool...probably rolling out in waves...my wife's phone says up to date still.

Yup. That's how it works. Could be minutes. Could be hours. Could be days. But it'll come.

She will not like it...doesn't like anything that changes. [emoji12] I like it a lot. Have already added two Hot mail accounts and then removed the Outlook app! [emoji1]

I had one Gmail, 6 in the email app, & 1 in outlook. They're all roommates now & I gained space for one icon on my secondary main screen (email & outlook shared a folder). Of course, inbox is there temporarily until I know I won't get any more invites to share...

I'm pretty sure the apk on the CNET site is legit...if you don't want to wait.

Found one thing about Inbox yesterday that I don't like. Family members have been e-mailing me a lot of pictures lately for a project we are working on. I save them straight to my Google Drive account right from the message (in the G mail app). Could not find a way to do that with Inbox...the only option was to Save in the Downloads folder. Unless I just missed the option somewhere? I know a lot of people don't like / use cloud storage, but I like the ability to save attachments straight to Drive from the G Mail app. Not sure why Google would omit that from Inbox?
Initial release. There a lots of things that I get the feeling they'll be adding in the future, but that does seem like something rather simple that they could've tossed in there.

Very true, probably lots of cool new features will be added as they tweak it, upgrade it, etc. I still think Inbox is pretty cool...just not sure why they didn't put that option in there.
