It's fast and works offline, storing articles on the phone so you can read them when you don't have a connection. It also supports things like Flickr feeds, so you can get images directly on your Blackberry.

It's slick because it syncs with my desktop reader, NetNewsWire. Dave I just downloaded NewsGator GO RSS reader. It’s slick because it syncs with my desktop reader, NetNewsWire.

After our pre-purchase conversation yesterday, I found myself researching the same thing last night. It actually looks great (though I couldn't find one of those whiz-bang, online demos of it), but I kept coming across one issue: e-mail support. Near as I can tell, the Pearl (and perhaps all Blackberrys?) don't fully support IMAP. Having used Chatter on my Treo 650 for the last 18 months (and having the wonderful experience of a truly single/fully-synced inbox, regardless of what device I use to check my mail, Treo, computer, etc), I was horrified to read that the Blackberry doesn't really do IMAP. Can you (or someone) confirm/deny this? Congrats on the toy!
