gmail is still Beta, despite several people claiming othrewise.  Just because you can now ge one by giving Google your mobile number (adverts on your mobile, coming soon) doesn't mean it's left Beta.  Log into gmail & look at the top left, it's still saying BETA.  I have taken part in BETA tests for lots of software & games and some Alpha tests too and 9/10 of them have gone retail in the amount of time it has taken gmail to reach where it is now.

gmail is stable, has been for ages, they really should start removing products from Beta soon.  I'll admit to using gmail, gogle search (not exclusively tho) and used Google Talk for a day but I won't use it while MSN (combined with Plus!) has more people on it, better features & a better look.
