Is this handset capable of showing streaming video or not? Mine can't. Thank-you, Tom

Thanks for the reply- that's encouraging. But what am I doing wrong then? All I've done is debrand the device and reinstall the settings from the se site. Are you a US user? Is yours debranded/unlocked? Thanks, Tom.

I've figured out that the 3rd party browser 'Bolt' can play you tube stuff.......sort of. I get a lot of stuttering or freezing of the browser itself though.

It seems though using a different viewer than the C905's media player (the black screen that only buffers at 0% endlessly), there's at least a chance of watching streaming video.

I wish I could get that 'Cellular Video' back (AT&T branded it on the phone), and I think losing this during debranding may have messed up how all streaming video works.

I'd like to be able to watch you tube videos posted on Facebook using Opera Mini or any browser, that's all. Presently, I get the 'you need flash' message in Opera.

Interestingly, Bolt gave me a series of 'can you see the video?' tests to determine the correct settings for my phone - and it got 'em right!

And..... the Bolt browser just spontaneously stopped rendering streaming video.
