I'm not able to reproduce on a Nexus One, and the following Activity works for me:

	[Activity (Label = "Scratch.DefaultTemplate", MainLauncher = true)]
	public class Activity1 : ListActivity
	{
		protected override void OnCreate (Bundle bundle)
		{
			base.OnCreate (bundle);
			
			var BookmarkCursor = ManagedQuery (Browser.BookmarksUri,
					new String[] {
						Browser.BookmarkColumns.Title,
						Browser.BookmarkColumns.Url
					},
					null,
					null,
					null);                         
			var SpinnerAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter (this,
					Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleListItem1,
					BookmarkCursor,
					new string[] { Browser.BookmarkColumns.Title },
					new int[] { Android.Resource.Id.Text1 });

			this.ListAdapter = SpinnerAdapter;
		}
	}

Note, however, that this project has the following permissions in Properties\AndroidManifest.xml:

	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS" />
	<uses-permission android:name="com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS" /> 

(I have no idea why the latter permission is required, but that's what was listed in exception output...)

Thanks,
