Default Not impressed

I too come from a Treo background. Having heard so many good things about Blackberries, I've been surprised at the poor quality and general dearth of 3rd party applications. One area which I've been very disappointed in the available options is personal finance software (i.e., checkbook). There seem to be basically three options available. Ascendo supports my 8830, but is ugly (frankly), unintuitive, and offers an awkward layout and very few features. But that seems to be par for the course with this sort of software on the Blackberry. Wisespend wouldn't even run on my 8830, though I liked the look of it the best of the three I tried. None of them would I be willing to pay for. Which is sad since the application I swore by on my Treo 650 was free. *sigh* I'm almost desperate enough to just write my own app.
