I love to go on Wikipedia, I checked the App World and all of them are paid, I don't think it should be paid for, are there any FREE Wikipedia apps that will NOT open it on the BlackBerry browser(sort of like the Wikipedia app on iPhone). I want it to also have pictures if possible. I tried the Mobile site and it is pretty bad, it turns it into several pages.

So there's 3 different Wikipedia sites you can access on your BlackBerry.
The mobile version: mobile.wikipedia.com. The articles are sparse and lacking. You have to navigate page by page. Horrible.
The full site: en.wikipedia.org. Takes absolutely forever to load for long articles, requires a lot of zooming in.
The "other" mobile site: en.m.wikipedia.org. It's sort of an in-between. It has the rich photos, tables, graphs of the full site, properly organized and formatted for viewing on our phones, but it also loads very quickly. I ran into to it accidentally a few weeks ago. With this I don't even want an app. Once that webkit browser is available, I'll probably still use this. Enjoy!
"The software that was here was free and not supported at all, please do NOT email Jonathan with queries. Unless you want to hire him and give him money."
Who knows, the software may still work... have fun.

Thank you so much, the last site was fast and smooth at loading.
