Cool! I will be in NYC for the Traders Expo and will check it out. I moved over to the 7510 Nextel Blackberry. Can QuoTrek run on that? Thanks! Big D
Hi dhandy, First, the Quotrek will only work on Blackberries connected to the BES server (BlackBerry Enterprise Server). Are you hooked up thru that? Also, we have not tested the Nextel network as yet, but our understanding is that the Nextel data network runs very slow, average speed of 15 - 20 kbps, whereas AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint PCS, and Verizon run on data networks with average speed of 56kbps. So I'm afraid that it may not work with Nextel at the moment. Hope this helps. Regards,
Well, that's too bad. I really like Nextel's network because it is stable, even if it is a bit slow. I'm not on a BES either. I think I'll end up sticking with MidCast Pro. They are able to work on the 7510. Thanks anyways! See ya in NYC! Big D
Hi dhandy, BES stands for Blackberry Enterprise Server, which is a server-side application you load on your corporate email server. It's not something typically used by individuals for home use as it runs around $5k. We're still planning on supporting the Blackberry without the BES but we're still some weeks away from being ready. We aren't a RIM re-seller ( the makers of BlackBerry) so for more information on the BES, please visit the Blackberry site. Thanks.

We are working on a next Quotrek release. Support for devices like the Nokia Symbian and MS Mobile Smartphones will be released. Along with some clean up of the GUI interface, news by symbol, and person BlackBerry (for non-corporate users). This will happen in about a month. http://www.QuoTrek.com Chuck @eSignal
