There are a few applications around but I would have to recommend WorldMate Live ! over the rest. Its another free one (For the basic setup anyway, which includes World Clock). Point your device browser to WorldMate Live Blackberry client or just follow the links from your browser default homepage.
Hope this helps.

This would be my advice to you... Just wait a bit until OS 4.5 for your Bb becomes available. (It wont be too far away). BB Smart Email is a great application but the native system on 4.5 looks and feels great. (Heaps of differences between the current and the Upgrade and you will save yourself a few $)(And besides, BB Smart wont work on new OS but this may only be a Beta thing )
Gmail is a web based (Google) email address server and doesn't make any difference on how you view your email on your device. Google Talk is a chat group application that is becoming native on BlackBerry. Good but only if you like chat group type protocol.
Hope this helps (and saves you a few $$$ )
Kindest Regards,
Greg Myers.
