Gmail domain name
Reading about Google's problems that they have in Germany and now in the UK over the gmail domain name, I started to look into other European ones.

gmail.ro -- takes to an webmail form that doesn't direct you into gmail's when logging in with gmail's credentials
gmail.cz -- looks like it's bought, but the buyer's name is not specified
gmail.hu -- directs you to the g-portal, probably gmail is their email gateway
gmail.bg -- points nowhere
gmail.ru -- looks like it's taken by somebody else
gmail.pl -- gives you a "Szukasz taniego samolotu..??" message and points you to an airline engine
gmail.it -- says that it's under construction, without Google's logo or related
gmail.es -- points nowhere
gmail.fr -- says that it's been taken already
gmail.dk - takes to an webmail form that doesn't direct you into gmail's when logging in with gmail's credentials
gmail.se -- points nowhere
gmail.no -- points nowhere

update -- Dimitris says that the urls pointing to webmail forms may be traps to steal account credentials from users who enter them there voluntarily. He also noted that, however, in those two specific sites the risk is low, since they don't fake gmail's main page.

    Google.cz is owned by Ing. Tomas Schel from Prague.

    Google.hu doesn't point to Google's NS, but to a Hungarian company.

    I will ask my Bulgarian friends to buy Google.bg for me.

    And so on.

    It's nice you spent su much time with that, but what's the point? Are you at work :-) ?

    this sounds like an attempt to "mail-jack" one's account :0
