When accessing the Internet, what will BB play?
- I'm new to BB. I have a 8830. I just purchased it a couple of weeks ago. I've always used a flip phone till now. I love the 8830 but not very savy about it yet. This is the most helpful site. I've learned so much already. However, I do have another question. I love to go to mtv.com on my browser. There are tv shows that I want to look at on mtv but when I access them there are just written details of the show. When I access them on my computer I'm able to play them. Can I not play any of the shows on my BB 8830? What do I have to do inorder to see the same things on my phone and I do on my computer? I have not purchased a media card yet. Will that make a difference? I have seen on this forum where folks are play movies on their 8830. So, I feel there should be some way to see these shows. Any help would be great.

Verizon disables most of the fun stuff so you can view flash videos, Youtube or any other streaming media straight from the BB. You can download certain videos and convert them on your pc and in turn upload them back to the BB to view, but thats about all. Its a drag I know. Sorry.10-11-07 09:53 AMLike 0
- There has to be a third Party App for this! I read on a thread earlier that people were watching movies on there curves so why not streaming?10-11-07 11:06 AMLike 0
- Sadly enough there is nothing you can do about it to my knowledge. What you can do though is go to certain sites for videos that you can DL for a BB. tinytube.net is one of them. its kind of like youtube but you have 2 choices instead. You can dl it to your Media card/phone or you can watch it stream. For those of us with the 8830 on VW the dl option works great.10-11-07 12:01 PMLike 0
