Display Reporting Services in Blackberry

Attempting to render a report in mobile blackberry. The report viewer
displays, and the report generates, but eventually freezes and no data
appears.
Blackberry 5 OS
SQL Reporting Services 2005 (SP2)
Blackberry browser with IE emulation and javascripts enabled on
client.
Any other blackberry users attempting to view reporting services?
Thanks.
RobThough I have not yet discovered the procedure for successfully
displaying a dynamic report within a reportviewer, it did discover a
work around that might be the next best thing. For a little
background, I do have reporting services integrated with sharepoint
services 3.0. A user can go to his/her web site or workspace shared
documents and build a report or subscribe to an existing report in
their list.
So, for example: Customers.rdl and it's datasource actually exist as
documents in the shared document list. This is accomplished by adding
these content types to the shared documents list.
1) I subscribed to the report using the sharepoint web form.
2) Select the report from the dropdown list in the shared documents
list.
3) Select "Manage subscriptions"
4) Set up a subscription to run "hourly" and select "web page" as the
format type.
5) Give your subscription document a name. i.e. myreport.html
5) Have the subscription sent to //<yoursharepointserverpath>/shared
documents/
Now from your blackberry browser, navigate to the name
(myreport.html).
