I have impression you just don't know how to use built-in player. What's wrong with ur player? Are you tired of rewinding movie? Don't you know how to set on full-screen viewing?

It would be nice with a video player that allowed videos in 220x176 so as to take advantage of the entire screen.

Videos in 176x144 look terrible in full screen mode. Thought "normal" mode look fine it is just too small to watch IMO.

Agreed!

why is there no option to view the videos in full 220x176 format? maybe one day a new application will be made to allow this. Or maybe a firmware update could possibly allow it!

flash to w800i software, the walkman function allows you to watch videos in proper full screen.

There is no need to flash K750! Built-in player allows to view movies in full-screen mode.

Are you saying that the newest w800i firmware allows videos encoded for 220x176? Can someone else confirm this? (if so, then it's definitely time to flash my k750...)

(Or are you simply referring to the ability to stretch lower resolution videos? This is already possible in k750 but not a very useful feature, though)

What I want is the ability to watch full screen videos in a decent quality. Of cource, it may be so, that the hardware is not powerful enought to decode 220x176 videos and in that case, an alternative media player or hacked firmware would not help. Any qualified guesses on this?
