Does anybody know that if you can watch youtube videos on their K850i phone? Now youtube has a video site for mobile internet www.youtube.com/mobile. Do you need to download any applications to watch the videos on the K850i?

You don't need the app. You can visit http://m.youtube.com. I'm not sure the app works on the K850 anyway, but you could try. [addsig]

It works pretty great. But you need some kind of unlimited dataplan to use it.

I tried it on my W810i last night (which I'm using temporarily) and it was unwatchable, but then I am in a very bad signal area at the moment.

When I pressed "watch" it asked me to select a profile, which I did, then my phone said "connecting to media server". I do have an unlimited data plan; I just hope it will cover this... [addsig]

well, on my k850 it worked excellent, watched 5 movies without any problems.

The only bad thing is that the sound is very bad and video could be better.

It could just be because I'm not in a 3G area (away on business), or perhaps the W810i just can't cope. [addsig]

works well on w890 too.

I see they've added quite a bit more content to this mobile version compared to last time I looked

I'll have my P1i in a couple of days, so I'll see how it compares to a W810i. [addsig]

I watch you tube videos on my k850i no probs at all. As long as you have a 3g or edge its fine. But when using on gprs its runs but i cant see the vid.

Ah, that must be the problem on my W810. I'm looking forward to getting my P1 later today. [addsig]

What mobile provider are you guys using to successfully watch YouTube on your K850i?

Is anyone using AT&T?

Are you specifying a Streaming profile? If so, is it the same as your Data and Internet profiles?

Curious why are some ppl trying the mobile site via the browser and not the java app that accesses video feeds from the same mobile site?

Goto this site ...
http://www.youtube.com/yt_mobile_app

Installing the application
1. Using your phone browser go to:
m.youtube.com/app
2. Follow the instructions to download YouTube
3. Exit your phone browser
4. Find the YouTube icon on your phone and start watching videos

NOTE: Which videos are hot?
Access the latest, the best and the most viewed videos.

Search...
...and watch any YouTube video.

Stay tuned
Watch your subscriptions, playlists and favorite videos any time.

Upload
Upload videos directly from your mobile phone.

Want to learn more? Read the FAQ or watch the installation video.

*Available for Nokia's N73, E65, N95, 6120c, 6110n and Sony Ericsson's k800i and w880i.

Hmm I think I just answered my own question ... cannot install java app.
