Berry Bloglines and piconews. Because they are the only ones I use.

Re: Favorite RSS Reader

I am trying to get piconews to work, but it is giving me a connection error. I just bought my BB from T-Mobile yesterday, is there anything I need to set up to fix this?

Make sure your TCP is set up.

I use the RSS reader in Pocket Day. I had some problems with Pico News, which I have used on and off.
Let me get the TCP info for TMo....

Options - Advanced Options - TCP
You need to have:

Re: Favorite RSS Reader

I prefer PicoNews. Since the latest release, it's been great. Easy to use, and very few complaints. And it's free!

Re: Favorite RSS Reader

I'm ordinarily paying for software when there's a free alternative, even if the free-ware is less than perfect, but in this case, I plopped down the $25 for newsclip. Nice interface, automatic update, links to to browser and email (to send articles), and most importantly, it downloads text only full-text versions of the articles - not links to slow loading html web pages.

Re: Favorite RSS Reader

Piconews is definetely my favorite. I was using Berry Bloglines but it kept giving me application errors randomly. Piconews has been stable for me so far.
