try changing your apn settings from epc.tmobile.com to wap.voicestream.com and see if that helps.

If it doesn't work the first time try reloading and it should go. I've been watching them on my Rogers 8900 since I got it. |

Okay I need some additional help. When I go to TCP/IP the screen reads as follows:
APN Setting enabled (checked)
APN: internet.t-mobile
APN Authentication Enabled (checked)
Username for APN: t-mobile
Password for APN: ** |

I hate to keep asking but when you say delete everything and insert wap.voicestream.com I still am unclear. I need you to walk me through this literally step by step if you can.  |

Thanks for your patience. That seemed to do the trick. I found it only works with those settings and Java script enabled. Thanks again for your patience.

Just a follow up. The APN setting for Rogers customers is internet.com instead of wap.voicestream.com
YouTube works like a charm now.

YouTube is known to have problems on .152. It works on .114, .133, and .144.

For me, a menu - refresh would solve the error message.

are you all using a youtube client, or simply surfing to the website with the BB browser?
I tried downloading the client to my 8900, and the site refused, saying the device wasn't supported. However when I simply navigated to the site with the BB browser and started to play a video, the media player opened up and it worked pretty well -- only issue was a periodic hesitation to "buffer" as more of the video was downloaded to my BB.

Just the browser. Go to m.youtube.com instead of the normal www.

There seems to be a lot of fuss over being able to watch videos on youtube. When I do, the quality is terrible and not even worth it. Is this how it is for everyone else? Or is there a setting to stream a higher quality video?

Be careful using WAP on Orange, becuase it falls outside the free internet bundles.

Took a couple refreshes and now it works. Does it matter if the browser is set to blackberry, firefox or internet explorer? |
