I would imagine that's all you have to do. Check your mail settings to make sure they're correct and you should be fine. I used this and it worked perfectly.

Haha, I've been waiting for this. 
They've had contacts and calendar for a while now.
If only I could hide some of those folders like I can with IMAP!

My inbox has about 10 messages, but there are only 3 showing in my Inbox. Any ideas? I have already made sure there is no limit on the numbers of days to sync.
Looks like the instructions does say to setup through Microsoft Exchange:

This sucks because I already have my work email setup through Exchange and the iPhone won't let me use two Exchange accounts...

Whenever I get a new email, my iphone makes the 'new email' sound and doesn't display a badge or anything. So, sound is all we get?
Wow - I've been waiting for this for quite a while. I'm very happy with it. Do you guys know if there's a way to move messages across mail accounts on the phone though? In other words, is there a way to move messages from my MobileMe Inbox to my newly added Gmail inbox? I don't see a way to do it but maybe I'm missing something.
Interesting...I've searched around and can't find how to turn badges on for google or mail and neither show up under the programs for 'notifications'.
I've been looking for you too and I can't find anything. Mail by default should display badges, just like if you go into it and let it DL your messages then exit it without reading them. Maybe reboot your phone and see if it starts working. Sounds like a glitch or something.
... The Mail app always gets badges. It has since iPhone 1.0.
If you're not try to reboot your phone maybe.
xxshawnxx this makes me wonder, do you have your gmail set as your default account? Maybe that has to do with it.
Mine is not working too hot right now. Keeps on spinning.
It loaded everything fine, then bam! 30 min later it can't receive or send anything.
Its sucking right now.

I don't seem to be getting consistent quick pushes yet. Hopefully this is just because they are getting slammed today and/or my phone is syncing up a bunch of old mail.
Love the idea though!

I enabled a new account through the Exchange profile. Now have the IMAP and Exchange running side by side. IMAP, on it's 15min pull schedule is getting them before they're pushed to the Gmail ActiveSync account. Icon at top just spins and spins...takes forever.
Wonder if any issue either 1) having them both running concurrently and/or 2) the push system, which is in beta mode I guess, is overwhelmed or working out kinks.

Same here. I'm experiencing all the issues above. I'm just going to let it sit for a while.
Mine was working perfectly and now it's acting a little bit funny. The spinning never stops and for a minute all of my mail disappeared. I'd say it's just getting hit really hard right now and things should straighten out.
While I'm grateful for google in bringing us push email, the launch today sucks. Multiple people having problems. If it can't handle the tiny fraction of people who have signed up today, how is it going to handle the masses who don't even know it's available yet.
EDIT--
Mine just started working. initially I was getting a password error. I deleted the account and set it up again. Don't know if that's what made the difference, probably not. But it's very SLOW to download/open emails. Hopefully this is just birthing pains, maybe they were not expecting much action today and were trying to do a really soft or silent launch.

Every user starting today is pulling down, one, two, or more days of inbox data. Could take a few days to shake out. I have confidence in Google's ability to make this work and to build enough capacity.
