Some banks (like mine-Ben Franklin) will allow the customer to download a .qif file when banking online.. GnuCash imports that and will check for duplicate entries. It works well (after using it for a year). I like it. Walt Eric Martin wrote:

Have you looked at gnucash as a QuickBooks replacement? I just wish I was anal enough to bother putting all my home/personal expenses into GnuCash, but I'm balking at re-typing my credit card and bank statements into it.
This is the Quicken advantage, they can talk to alot of banks and credit card companies to import data easily.
Actually, GnuCash can do this too, if your bank/CCC supports exporting in one of the standard financial formats. Now if I could just get my bank to *email* me an encrypted statement each month, I'd be happy...
GNUcash can handle grabbing stuff online the same way quicken does. The problem is most banks / credit cards (that I've tried) check for quicken, so it doesn't work easily. I'm trying to get back into punching my stuff into gnucash so I'll let you know how it goes.
As for the Nokia, sorry, no clue. Ditto
