Blackberry Time Tracking
I am looking for an application for keeping track of my billable time and material for my blackberry storm. I am hoping it is something that is compatible with quickbooks.

http://www.tsheets.com/ has been amazing.
We use iphones, but they should tailor a solution for you.
We use it with Quickbooks as well.
You can even use it with text messaging.

They have different ways of doing it,
text messaging too.
We use iphones, online. You can use a laptop too.

i am checking it out right now. It seems like you can only punch in and out from the phone and you cant modify your hours if you need to

for me timr works best
I was also experimenting with tsheets et cetera but I missed the perfect integration into my blackberry storm.
This weekend I found timr.com which has a native blackberry client. It allows me to punch in and punch out AND I can manually change the times! The web application is also very powerful, I think its the best compared to tsheets or harvest.
