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?

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

You should also try FreeRange NewsReader, which you can download from the Blackberry Help bookmark. 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.
