If you have not accepted it properly go into options, applications, modules and reset the firewall prompts. The reason for that is so that you can make calls from numbers embedded in emails.

I believe I may have allowed Gmail Mobile free reign access to anything it needed on my BlackBerry during the initial install. However, on a similar note, I'm a little perplexed as to why I am unable to dial phone numbers from Gmail Mobile emails directly (like I am in text messages). My take on the matter Google is trying to gather just a little bit more information on its users. Maybe an added feature later down the road which includes cross referencing messages with previously called contacts? Maybe Gmail mobile addressbook integration? I can’t say I’ve noticed this prompt.
