Can anyone recommend a good, free (or perhaps just free) RSS reader for a Blackberry? Did a search and didn't come up with anything...

Thanks!

Not an RSS reader per se but I use Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com/) which is a web-based personal news aggregator that can be used in place of an RSS reader.

Interested too...
been meaning to get RSS going on my BB for 2+ years...
I'm also curious about the connection settings. Since I'm on an EvDO BB it cannot do data and voice at the same time...what happens if a call comes in while its refreshing?

If it's anything like the GPRS service on my Cingular 8125, if you've got an active data session, it'll drop that when a call comes in, and then re-establish it once you get off the line. Mine basically always stays active since I've got over-the-air ActiveSync set up to push mail to me - it just holds an open connection and passes a byte or two every so often to say "I'm here" (I think without syncing any items, keeping the connection open requires less than 1KB/day).

There is berry bloglines (http://thebogles.com/berry_bloglines.html) which is a "client" for bloglines that fits much better on the screen, and it also shrinks graphics and stuff so they look better/more natural on the smaller screen.. I use it. Its also free.
