Default Best recommendation for a better task manager on the blackberry?

Please Login to Remove!

I only got my blackberry a couple weeks ago. I love the e-mail, but the tasks app really bites for managing to-dos.

Any recommendations for something better?

Really appreciate any help.

I love PocketDay Lists (aka PD Lists). It's much more than a replacement for Tasks but it certainly does that.

BTW the link provided by mgerbasio is wrong. To get PD Lists, it's CrossRiverSystems.

To buy or rent an apartment in Westchester County, use his link, no warranties as to the latter express or implied .

I'm a todoMatrix convert as well. VERY refined application, that's soon to have a web interface too. Flexible alert system, flexible filing system, very nice app. Pricey though.

cooperpwc - thanks for the catch. That's what I get for responding as my wife is pulling me out the door.

Default ToDo Matrix

I've been using ToDo Matrix and it is excellent software. It allows you to categorize your tasks by folder and is very flexible with respect to sorting, searching, alerts, etc.

As jddphd said, it is a little pricey, however, when you figure what the BB costs and what one spends on monthly service, it is all relative. Bottom line, it is a huge improvement over the built in task manager.

If you're a Backpack fan, you can also use all of Backpack's features via mobile by adding /mob after each page. The beauty of Backpack (besides that there is a free version) is each page you set up has an e-mail address assigned to it so you can e-mail a reminder, note, etc. using your Blackberry. Backpack also has a reminder feature where you can have it e-mail or send you a text message for a reminder. I set up personal contacts on my BB to certain pages that I use all the time. If I think of something, I can just shoot it to my Backpack via e-mail. It's a fantastic system...

Actually, the Backpack system is a good one. I've tried it and it works well. I just can't get into the rhythm of using it on the desktop for some reason, so it doesn't do me much good. But it is free and very flexible.
