Can you elaborate on the streaming video? Does that mean that you can view streaming video, or transmit?

View, like from YouTube.

Needs WiFi, of course, as the regular EDGE is not enough bandwidth to make sense.

Sorry for pestering you (earlier posts), but the 8120 does not stream from youtube. You can however download video files from other sites and play them from your media.
If someone has proof that it does stream, and can show me how...I'm all ears.

While testing handheld OS 4.5.0.18 on my Pearl 8100 from T-Mobile I was able to get streaming video from Mobile YouTube (m.youtube.com). So it *might* be a possibility when the 4.5 OS is released.

I have not seen it (OS 4.5 on the 8100), but I do know that jeremy has a reputation to post very factual information around here. So, no streaming vids on the 8100 now, and highly highly possible when the new OS is released.
