What is best mobile banking solution in San Diego, CA?
I just moved from LA to San Diego and I realized that my bank (First Federal) doesn't have a branch down in San Diego, also I can access my online banking service from FirstFed from my blackberry, which is annoying. Can anyone recommend a good bank that has branches in San Diego (and LA and everywhere?) that has good online banking, mobile accessibility, good banking features and low rates or whatever else I should be looking in the bank.
Thanks!

I do live in San Diego--and Los Angeles.
My parents have long banked with San Diego County Credit Union so I can recommend them to some extent (you're eligible as a San Diego County resident) and they have a fairly robust online banking system. (I have no idea, however, how well SDCCU's website plays with a Crackberry).
What it doesn't have is branches everywhere, though as it is a credit union you're often able to use other credit union ATMs.
I can't think of a local-to-San Diego bank that has a prominent 'everywhere' presence. Wells Fargo is more or less California based, Bank of America *is* everywhere, as pointed out above, and from there you devolve into other national banks that have other issues. I use Washington Mutual but for obvious reasons don't recommend them.
