RSS feed reading

8 replies · 4,335 views · Started 08 October 2003

Hi,
I can't find a working program to read RSS feeds on my phone. I've tried Friday and the one on the SUN java site, but no way.

I'd be very happy also with the http://www.bloglines.com service, but on Doris Browser and NetFront don't work because of too much redirect pages.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks
Byez

Hi,

I read your post yesterday, and was actually looking for the same thing, so I was hoping somebody else would answer you, for my own sake.

I'm surprised to see nobody has, AAS is usually more responsive, but anyhow, I've done my own prospecting and came up with this

www.winksite.com

See if it answers your question.

If you're interested, I found it by going to bloglines, reading rss news (rss.blog.de) then Lockergnome, and finally to a comment left by Charles from surfarama.com.

There now, everybody credited too.

I've tried this service and it's good. But I need something more flexible and with more news on each page. it seems like this is optimized only for Wap displaying phone... and we know S60 has much bigger screen.

I've also contacted bloglines.com about the issue with our phone, and we're trying to solve it on their side ... hope the best.

Any other ideas meanwhile?

Still no way with mreader, with every feed it reports no news. There is something not working.

I will try with the IMAP rss service in

http://www.blogstreet.com/rssecosystem.html

but I'm really perplexed... I can't belive nobody has come out with a WORKING rss reader for the Symbian platform. I would like to be able to code for this 😞

This is also a request for help. Programmers out there advised 😉

I've used the Blogstree IMAP service and while it's very good I'd recommend their new RSS2Mobile service instead. You can simply append the RSS URL for any feed to their special URL and read the feed in your WAP browser. Terrific solution IMHO.
