Concur Expense Tracking Solution & BlackBerry App

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 02:55 PM PDT

I am always on the hunt for a solid expense management solution with good BlackBerry support. The latest brought to my attention is Concur which recently acquired TripIt at the beginning of the year. Concur is not the simplest or cheapest option but its not prohibitively expensive at $8/month per user with a 30 free trial which includes a subscription to TripIt Pro. They just released a BlackBerry app for the service so now you can catalog your expenses and more from your BlackBerry.

The BlackBerry app features include the ability to:

  • Select credit card charges to add to an expense report
  • Create and submit expense reports
  • Approve or reject expense reports

  • Concur’s Travel users can:
    • View flight status details such as delays, cancellations, departure gates and times
    • Search for and book a rental car, hotel and Amtrak train
    • Get directions
    • Approve employee trips

TELUS Canada Carrying Pink BlackBerry Curve 9360 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

We heard earlier that TELUS Canada would be getting a pink variant of the BlackBerry Curve 9360 but we didn't have a time frame. Now we know from MobileSyrup that TELUS will be carrying it for Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is October. During that time TELUS will donate $25 per pink 9360 sold to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. It will be available online and in stores soon.

Now if only RIM would get around to releasing a crimson red version of the Bold 9900 :)

QuickelSoft Tasks Adds GTD Concepts to BlackBerry Tasks

I have been waiting for RIM to integrate some new GTD features into the built in Tasks app but they are restricted by what Exchange supports. Until then there are apps like QuickelSoft Tasks to fill in the gap. QuickelSoft uses the built in BlackBerry tasks and adds the ability to classify your tasks with tags and filter them based on those tags. Its much better than the simple structure that RIM gives you.

Posted: 29 Sep 2011 07:54 AM PDT

BBM Caro

We have mentioned Keepers BBMCaro (Now simply called Caro) a few times before but Keeper let us know in the forums about a new update to v1.1.2. Caro is seeing explosive growth with 200,000 players worldwide so far and over 20,000 new players every day. 70,000 of those players actually play every day!

This new v1.1.2 update fixes bugs but most importantly it has a new mechanism that helps Caro run faster, retrieve and update records faster, and avoid losing a record update when the internet conks out. It also now prioritizes Wi-Fi and BIS-B traffic over TCP/IP and WEP when playing.

You can pick up the updated version of Caro for your BlackBerry in App World

Best Buy Free Phone Fridays

It looks like Best Buy in Canada is throwing in some 3 year contract deals this fall with their "Free Phone Fridays." According to MobileSyrup they will be discounting a new phone every Friday in October to $0.00 with a 3 year contract. The first to be discounted is the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and Torch 9810 on Telus, Bell, Virgin, and Rogers along with the Koodo Curve 9360. Not a terrible deal if you have to sign one of those 3 year contracts.
