Can anyone recommend a good RSS reader for my Vario II? I'm looking for something that can access RSS feeds and render them nicely on the Vario's screen.

If anything worked with Bloglines (I have lots of subscribed feeds on Bloglines) then that would be really ideal.

Spb Insight though lacks of many features found even in freeware readers (like pRSsReader), but has a unique feature that allows to write a script (template) to download and parse web pages. It is at version 1.01 currently, and I believe it will grow to a better product soon. But after I used it, I don't want to return to "plain" RSS readers.

If you want to try pRSSReader, do NOT install version 1.3.2, try the current 1.3.3 beta instead. 1.3.2 has a serious problem overwriting a system DLL on Hermes devices.

pRSSReader is great, I didnt have a problem with 1.3.2 but the current beta is the best and very stable

Newsbreak is IMO the best.

I try 5-6 different ones back when I had a Cingular 8125. Egress was the best one and I'm still using it now with my Cingular 8525.

I am a Hubdog user and it's good as well as free.

I've installed Egress twice - and had to deinstall it both times because it crashed on my Hermes (Vario II). Does anyone else have this problem with this program? It looks like a nice piece of software.

Are you running the latest version? It works great on my 8525. I installed the program to main memory, and store my channels in main memory also. If you're trying to use the today plugin while storing the program and/or channels on your storage card, you're going to have issues.

Only pRSSReader provides a decent today screen plugin which scrolls the new items as a ticker ..

I'm currently running Egress on my Samsung i730 (trying to get my hands on a 8525), and I have the program installed in main memory, but the channels and enclosures I store on my SD card. Works fine, though every once in a while there will be a particular article in a feed that causes it to lock up, but I suspect that's just a badly formatted feed (or one with a huge inline image) rather than being completely the reader's fault. As long as I skip that particular article in the feed, it's fine.
