Side note that may save you some grief: You can't change the browser mode (ie. Hotspot Browser to Internet Browser) in the Browser Configuration menu within the browser application. If you switch between the browser types, you can adjust the settings for each but that's it. Your default browser is still the default browser. You have to change the default browser in the main Options application (the wrench) under Advanced Options, Browser.
Hope this helps,

Santo, thank you very much for this advice. I'm not rockin' and rollin' with my youtube videos.

Santos, your cracking advice above about unticking the option I reckon will do the trick...but I think I'm being imcredibly dumb. I can't find 'browser options' on my device.
I've got options-advanced options-browser completely down and know when I'm wifi and when I'm not but if you could help out a noob looking for perfection, you'd be more help than the orange tech team in the uk (whom I had to explain to this morning what streaming is as opposed to downloading...and I thought that I was technically incompetent!)
BTW - hello all, first post here. Love the forum and for you in any doubt, not only is the Bold an iphone killer, it's also got the smartphones running for cover. (I also use a tytn II)

RonnyBoy,
Open your Browser. Click on the Menu button and select Options. Click on General Properties. Scroll down to "Switching to WAP for streaming media". Make sure that the checkbox is left UNCHECKED. Click on your escape button and save the configuration.
Credit goes to Santo for this. Just trying to play a role in this great community.
