E*Trade Mobile - a great mobile commerce application

I had a chance to use the new mobile stock trading and banking application for the Blackberry called E*Trade Mobile over the last few weeks on my blackberry curve 8300 and must say it is very good. The application allows very easy to use real time stock quotes, trading, watch lists, and transfers between accounts. The user interface is so easy to use that you do not need instructions and I was up and trading shares from my blackberry right after I loaded the application. The current application works on any blackberry with the "pearl" thumb navigation, so the 8800, the 8300 and 8100 series and will work with the new Blackberry Bold said to be coming soon. Rumor has it that the same E*Trade Mobile application will soon be made available on the iPhone as that platform would also work very well with his application and is certainly getting a lot of attention. The concept of mobile commerce has been around for many years and this is a great example of real delivery of that hype and promise. A current user of E*Trade's online brokerage can truly use this new E*Trade Mobile platform to do 90% of what they may normally do online, and it is stable, easy to use and this is only the first version! Good job E*Trade!

This application is so cool for anyone who is concerned about thier portfolio and they are away from their computer - plus you can get a Free Curve when you sign up for the service.
