Full integration/synch with the native tasks, calendar, and contacts, and lots of powerful features for the power user. I also have my Pocket Informant installation customized to use the GTD method, and it works very well. Plus there are custom alarms, colors/icons, and a lot more. Really customizable!

It can't do anything remotely useful. I am using this BlackBerry GTD app called Viira from http://www.kartamobile.com instead and it has worked great for me. It has the full GTD works like projects and contexts, and what I found really cool is the ability to have day tasks as well so you can organize your tasks by day. So Mike, you might want to give it a try. Viira gives you a free trial and the $29 I spent on it has been well worth it imo. I haven't tried ToDo Matrix yet but it is just too expensive.

I really need to assign tasks by date on the fly, view taks for just that date, see only my pending tasks on my Calendar, etc. The native task app on the BB has too many entries and does not sync consistently with Outlook. Please Help! Does anyone know of how to get the BB Curve task function to be more like the Palm’s To do?

What I needed was something like Bonsai on the Palm or numerous other Pocket PC applications. You need a desktop application to type in entries quickly and sync, easy way to raise/lower the priority, make it hierarchical, add in the date/time to get certain items done if applicable and done. ToDo Matrix is overpriced, looks incredibly ugly, takes a lot of keystrokes, and requires their yearly web service for syncing. Why do I need them for that? I just want a desktop application. All these others are just revisions of the built in tasks manager and don't really add any functionality. Unfortunately the Blackberry has no acceptable To Do list or outliner – period.

You can't do a sort by levels (eg by priority, by date), you can't just view tasks for the next few days (some tasks take place in a year and I certainly don't want to see them in my list!), and you can't set customized reminders to get the date and time you want to be reminded.
