Gmail has stopped givin Invitations off late. The main reason is because , they are being sold on these auction sites like Ebay and Baazee..
gues..u have to wait......


and ha..Gmail is special coz. not all get it,. and even thoughits a beta version, the fact that not all get it can make u special ....

Moreover, its beneficial to snag a gmail account now, because:
- assume your name is mohan
- once gmail is public, plenty of people with the same name have taken it, and you are left to have mohanXYZ_149@gmail.com as your address.

If you instead are one of the early entrants, you can get a clean name of your choice - since a very exclusive number of people have this privilege of being invited to Gmail to open an account.

yeah, isn't that really sad.....
Squatters and domain-name sellers stand to make a killing by occupying the registered identities.

Well, "gmail" doesnt have google in its name, so I guess that was ok. And yeah, sorry but gmail's not giving any more invitations. You can try rediff or spymac etc.

i like gmail cause it has shorter domain name, like "any1@gmail.com" !
makes ur id Shorter and sweeter,

i had registered all my e-mail ids to get the invitation, but didnt recvd any invitationon any of the ids (i guess all mail services eated my gmail invitations),

i dont know the reasons, but i still would like to own a shorter and sweeter id !

i have my id as "x10d@msn.com", and happy with it !
( 2 mb limit and degerously show ! )

but i would love to have a gmail with invitation !
