Blackberry

[Holdcard]

Anyone else got one? I've had mine for a few weeks now, and it's still smarter than I am. Anyone know how to get it to sync with Quicken?

I don't know how to get it to synch with Quickbooks, but I carried one for a couple of years. They are pretty handy gadgets and becoming much more affordable as time goes on. If all of they ever establish a standard on web protocols for displaying websites, I may buy a personal one. Until then I'm sticking to my Cheesemaster Motorola phone..... :D

I've searched often, I keep hoping someone will come up with something to sync with Quicken.

I wound up with mine through a series of events, I've always been a "gadget guy" (also, easily amused) but couldn't really justify the cost of more than my regular cell phone. As my arthritis is getting worse, I'm spending more and more time in the recliner and away from my desktop. So we finally decided to get a laptop so I could work from the recliner (If you're healthy its a great thing, if your not it's just getting by).

The laptop has actually helped my pain level because I don't stay at the desktop too long, in doing so I needed a way to keep in sync with my email, calendars, etc. A friend recommended Google. It took some work, but I got all my email and calendar appointments synced with Google, so now no matter which computer I'm at I have current information. When it was time to upgrade my phone, I looked into the Blackberry because a friend (same guy that recommended Google) had just about the same setup. After seeing how well his setup worked I got one.

I'm very happy with it, and for me it's serving it's purpose well. Even though it's small, the keyboard (qwerty) is not that difficult at all, in a way it feels pretty natural, I'm not touch typing with my thumbs yet but I'm on the way. There is a ton of information and help available.

Have you called them to see if there is such a thing available? They would probably know....

Yep, been on the Quicken site, and the 3rd party that does Pocket Quicken. They have no plans at the moment to develop one, I'm hoping that may change as the Blackberry gains popularity.

I have supported them since they came out, on the enterprise side, and finally am carrying one for the past 2 years. I personally hate them and think they suck (I am a Windows Mobile guy myself), since I do better with a stylus than just the keyboard.

I didn't know you could sync them with Quickbooks or anything like that, but I guess its like anything else if you want it and it doesn't exist then invent it and sell it to the others who wanted it.

Hate Blackberry user interface. Do yourself a favor and get an iPhone. Much more intuitive and now that they are on 3G and have 3rd party software support they are untouchable.

I'm pretty happy with my BlackJack II. I can get GPS and live TV on it.

I don't have a Blackberry, but I often get a Raspberry, or two, from my wife. :girlshit:
