    Re: uh...does youtube not work on the Wing?

    the wing is not capable of viewing the videos on the utube.. the web site used flash player for the videos,, (if i remember right) and the phone does not support it... you might try putting opera mini on the phone and see if it works,,, never tryed it but it is worth a shot let me know if it works ..

    Re: uh...does youtube not work on the Wing?

    lol... there are so many posts like this. There are alternatives. Im gonna give you an easy way since the wing does have wm.

    go to skyfire.com and signup for the beta testing, download it on your phone and you are done. You can watch videos there with no problem.

    Skyfire is a browser, a full html browser with flash, js integrated. the best i've seen so far. Try it.

    I love my cellys

    Your PC browser will not play flash embedded videos without having a flash player installed so why would a mobile pc be any different

    Skyfire does look like a promising all-in-one solution to this though

    Re: uh...does youtube not work on the Wing?

    Don't even worry about flash. you can get FlashLite for the IE, but YouTube Mobile doesn't work with Flash. It uses RTSP streaming, which WMMP does not suport. So even getting another browser would not allow the WMMP to show you the Youtube videos.

    Like I said above (I wasn't joking), look at the thread on this exact forum that explains precisely how to get the Wing to be able to view streaming video (Including Youtube).
