CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jessica Dolcourt on December 23, 2008
When you want answers, Wikipedia is the place to go. This simple app for BlackBerry leaves the bells and whistles to other developers and dives straight in to creating a bare bones, but effective doorway to Wikipedia.com. The replicated search interface will help you feel right at home as it quickly grabs and displays your search results in your phone's default browser.
Click "Go" to pull up the closest-matching article or "Search" to see all possible Wikipedia matches. Until Wikipedia or another developer creates a richer, fully native Wikipedia reader, this app is just satisfying enough.
Publisher's description
From Jonathan H. Fisher :Front-end for wikipedia - allows easy searching from the BlackBerry homescreen.

Version: Wikipedia for BlackBerry
"Its pretty handy to have on mobile (if you have WiFi)"
Pros: Better than nothing when you want to look something up. But I can't say I have used it enough to see how useful it really is. So far found difficulty in finding useful stuff
Cons: expensive when using phone network
Summary: better than nothing and its free
