Bryan...can you go to m.youtube.com and play "Emily I" (it's on the first page tonight, anyway). I got pauses in it, just as I always have...so it plays all the way through w/out pauses for you?
I tried it on my wife's VZW 8130 Pearl as well (she's on the Telus OS, I'm on Alltel) and she has the same pauses.
Frankly, I'm starting to wonder if I should believe you guys who say you can play the videos fine...you're not pulling my leg to make me crazy, are you?
