Claws needs a keyboard if you want to read news, unfortunately.
They squandered the toolbar on functions newspeople don't need or want
instead of providing those they do (Next Unread, Kill Thread, Mark All
Read, etc), which is a pity, because otherwise it's an excellent piece
of software.

I find the Claws RSS plug to be pretty lame on the n800, Claws email is
fine. At least at this point in time. Beware this could change next
week or month with an update of some sort. Nothing is set in stone --
development on many fronts is moving along at a decent pace considering
how much of it is being done by a volunteer workforce.<br>
<br>
I find the included n800s RSS reader fine for my limited RSS uses of
about 10 sources (local and national news, sports, & politics). I
like how it pops up to enter info for the reader when you click RSS
feed on some site. <br>
<br>
Fine print -- While the Nokia n800 RSS reader has been fine for me for
about two months, two nights ago it mysteriously locked itself up.
Everything else worked -- only the RSS reader was just locked up, even
after a reboot. I tried to locate the RSS files on my Nokia to see if
perhaps deleting something might clear things up, but couldn't find
where the RSS stuff is located. I resorted to restoring a backup file
from a week ago, which cleared everything up. I only had to import an
updated email address book to the included email program to get other
settings back to 'normal'. Since I use Claws most of the time for
email, that really wasn't necessary. <br>
<br>
Reading between the lines -- there's a few things left to iron out
with various n800 programs and interfaces. Nothing new here -- most
everything works fine. With the limited set of n800 apps I currently
use, I get much fewer mysterious crashes with my n800 than your typical
MS Windows machine. But stuff happens... <br>
