Does anybody know which type of video information are supported? I bear in mind the Intuition solely could dl 3gp using opera mini. I downloaded the twist ap, possibly that’s the problem? How can I watch movies from sites other than youtube? Which file varieties? Often I’m given the choice of 3gp or mpeg4. Cannot get either to work. Thank you for your time! Rattling I wish I was eligible for the upgrade to EVO!

Thanks for the nice article, I’m very excited. I’ve had my phone for simply over a month now and am truly enjoying all of the loose apps from the android market, having the ability to have the internet and navigation at my fingertips all of the time. The one not up to idea feature is the picture/video textual content messages, as they are not downloading properly.
