Mobile Device Access
Google Apps provides some powerful synchronization capabilities for mobile device users, including popular platforms like BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, iPhone, etc.
An overview of mobile device options is available here:

iPhone Users
For best results, do NOT use the Gmail setup option provided on your iPhone when creating a new account. Use these instructions instead:

Other iPhone Options
In addition to the traditional IMAP access method, Google provides several iPhone-optimized tools for iPhone users. You may want to explore the following options:
Gmail for Mobile / iPhone: http://www.google.com/mobile/products/mail.html#p=apple
Google Sync for iPhone*: http://google.com/support/mobile/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=14252
*Google Sync provides real-time, over-the-air synchronization for your e-mail, contacts & calendar. Google Sync also provides BlackBerry-style push notifications for instant alerts when a new message arrives in your inbox.
Update 11/20/2009: At this time, we do not recommend using Google Sync for mail on your iPhone. Our experience is that mail download/retrieval through Google Sync is usually MUCH slower than using the basic IMAP mail option. Our best advice is to setup Google Sync (Add Account > Exchange) for your contacts & calendar only, then use a separate IMAP account for mail ( Add Account > Other ). Be sure to leave mail "off" in your Google Sync account profile for now.
BlackBerry Users
If you were using a BlackBerry device to access your mail prior to our Google Apps upgrade, you'll need to update the settings associated with you BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) account.
Create a New E-Mail Account in BIS
In most cases it is easiest to delete your existing email account in BIS and create a new one, per the instructions here:
Google's BlackBerry setup instructions: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78882
Be sure to enable IMAP support for your e-mail account: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695
Modify an Existing E-Mail Account in BIS
If you update the settings for your existing email account in BIS, use the following settings:
username: (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
password: your new Google Apps password
incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
Again, be sure to enable IMAP support for your e-mail account: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695
Other BlackBerry Options
In addition to the traditional IMAP access method, Google provides several BlackBerry-optimized tools for BlackBerry users. You may want to explore the following options:
