All,

You can visit m.quicken.com from your Blackberry browswer. That's what we mean there - the only native app we have for Quicken Online customers right now is on the iPhone.

We'll learn from our customers and explore other platforms as it makes sense. Check out m.quicken.com in the meantime.

Thanks,
Chelsea

I respect the fact that iPhones are pretty and shiny, but BlackBerry has been the preferred smartphone for business and enterprise users for many more years.

If you take a look at the demographics of the users of each device, I'm sure that you will find that supporting an app for BlackBerry just makes sense.

For the record, I would use either a BB app for Quicken Online Mobile OR an app that integrated with the desktop edition.

I am perplexed by this response in that there appears to be no interest in the needs and requests of your customers. I have used Quicken and Turbo Tax for over a decade and used Pocket Quicken for about 7 years. My company just moved to Blackberry from Palm treo and I made the assumption there was an app for BB. An online web version is not a valid alternative for those of us concerned about privacy of our financial information. I sure hope you will listen to your customers so I dont have to look for financial software other than Quicken.

I agree with what techgnostic said in his post, "I respect the fact that iPhones are pretty and shiny, but BlackBerry has been the preferred smartphone for business and enterprise users for many more years. If you take a look at the demographics of the users of each device, I'm sure that you will find that supporting an app for BlackBerry just makes sense. For the record, I would use either a BB app for Quicken Online Mobile OR an app that integrated with the desktop edition" I would like to add my additional thoughts which are, Intuit apparently was using blinders when setup the R and D budget for its online product and the only budgeted platform was for Apple's OS. As a bean counter by trade this seems "penny wise but pound foolish" R and D should have thrown in to the pot a couple of dollars more for at least RIM's and Microsoft's operating system (even though Landware does make Quicken for Windows Mobile 5/6). If Intuit's bean counters were contacted I would hope some of them would have thought as I do now and R and D just took accounting's advise under advisement.

The way I look at it now, opening two separate budgets to work on two additional operating system might be costlier than if Intuit just would have thrown a few extra dollars in the budget. And in this economy (specially if you are based in California) who can justify reinventing the wheel twice, when with just a couple of dollars in the first place you could have add a couple of more spokes and made the wheel stronger.

Thanks.

That is the only way I have been able to do it and there are times when it doesn't work about 20% do to the BB browser.
