I just switched from Verizon to Sprint a few weeks ago. After a horrific three days with the Q, I picked up Sprint's 8703e (what I had on Verizon). I noticed that Newsclip was no longer default installed (I don't know if it was a Verizon or RIM deal).
I went in search of that program and instead found that Newsclip had been redesigned and launched as Viigo (
Virtual Reach). Viigo is free, best of all. It's a good little RSS reader and will auto-update when you want or just do manual updates. Newsclip's menu response used to be slow and sluggish and they obviously addressed that with Viigo. I used their website to drop in my most-used RSS and Atom feeds (I have a couple hundred in Google Reader, and only use the big ones on my BB). Anyone looking for a decent, free RSS solution for BB would do good to at least check it out.
