We have a requirement to allow our users to add content to our sites using Blackberry devices. Obviously running Umbraco from these type of devices isn't very use friendly due to the screen size restrictions.
You could make a customized template for mobile users and create an UI that requires the user to authenticate with their credentials. Then you take advantage of the umbraco API to get access to the nodes.
I am not sure if this would work, but would it be possible to use livewriter (via the content channel), which will probably be a lot closer to what you want in terms of ui.
Running Umbraco from a mobile device

Is there a better way to acheive this?
Thanks in advance.

As Patrick says, just create a single page, accessible for the BB users(behind login) and create a form designed for that device.
You can also capture device with: http://mdbf.codeplex.com/ and redirect to correct page.

Hi Seth
Is Livewriter available on blackberry devices? If so this would be the way I would go
Cheers
Livewriter is a desktop application to write in a Word like environment and post to a weblog. This is not a mobile app.
