I just bought TimeTracker a little while ago. It's pretty good, but isn't as configurable as I wish it was. The start/resume/stop works really well - you can start billing, stop during a break, start after the break (for as many breaks as you want or even resume a day or more later) and stop when you're done the work for that item (you can have multiple items). The only thing is that it starts billing each hour one minute in, and only seems to go in one hour intervals. I know in some fields you can charge for an hour even if you only work 1 minute, but in others you bill by the half hour or quarter hour, and in some you round down, so even if you worked 2 hrs and 14 minutes, you would just bill 2 hrs. It does give a total of the elapsed time so I can still work it out, but it would be nice to have some configuration options. Or even better an ability to note the work done during each time period and produce an e-mailable or save to file report/itemized invoice.

I didn't vote for that since I already have it, but it is a pretty useful program so the rest of you might want it.

Free is free, so whatever you can give is fine. However, some of the stuff listed is a joke. Can you hook up with someone other than S4BB?

QuickTask? No, this isn't a quicker way of entering tasks.

DoneInTwoMinutes is just offensive. Really? A program that you have to start in order to time tasks that came be completed in 2 minutes? Can't be serious.

These EBooks are public domain! That means free. You can get this book and a ton of others at Project Gutenberg. For free. Sure, it's in a BB format, which is nice. But if you really care about EBooks, you'll learn how to easily convert them to a BB format.

TimeTracker? Might be useful for some, at least for free. But for the serious professional, it lacks critical functionality.

RandomPasswordGenetator? Well, this can be useful. And, for free, why not. For $9, no.

Why don't you hook up with RexWireless, CrossRiverSystems, BBSmart, or another software published that actually puts out quality stuff? My problem with S4BB is that they put out so much junk (BBPinInfo is a scam, since it does something that the BB already does) that they appear not to take their customers seriously.

Rant over. Free is free, so thanks for offering anything. But I wish you'd improve the image of the BlackBerryInsight site by dropping your affiliation with S4BB and MobileSoftMarket and get better sponsors. Sites like crackberry.com and berryreview.com keep themselves going by having quality sponsors, not questionable companies like S4BB and MSM.

Well, others don't give us the chance to give away stuff for free. If you know of one I am pleased to drop them an email.

Besides: do you know of their refund policy? Not any other company I know gives you an unconditional money back guarantee... OK, I know what you think: 'Don't listen to this guy, he's sponsored by them and just tells everything ...'
Our sponsorship derived actually from software I bought from S4BB. It was not working properly (actually my BlackBerry was too new and it was not compatible with that one yet :)). Anyway, I dropped them an email and they offered me a full refund straight away. As I wanted to use the software instead of a refund I asked when they will fix the issue - so I would wait and don't get a refund. One week later they fixed it and I got my free update (which is also included in any software from them). I found their service so good ... well, to be honest: I talked smoothly - kind of ... and asked if they would sponsor BBInsight because I was so happy about their service ... bla bla bla ... yeah well, they did and here we are. At least I can pay the server from this ... :mrgreen:

Would like to see some app that facilitates streaming video. There may be one out there but I am not aware of it. Have Curve 830.

Thanks, Mipaz63

Squef is right, and I'm sorry to have to agree because S4BB seems to be a good company with great customer service. I don't like anything they have available - I got the $50 credit and I still haven't used it, since I can't find anything of value worth spending it on. Sorry.

Free is free - I'll try anything that's free. So far the only thing that I've actually downloaded from the free software day promo is Wallpaper Megaplex as it has some cool backgrounds. The programs are "nice" but just not appealing to everyday consumers.
