Hello all, new to the site (1st post). I'm also new to BB's, and soon that'll be obvious.
I spend 10-12 hours a day in a truck for work, so I don't have a lot of time to get things done in my personal life. I thought I'd be more productive with a smartphone, so I bought an 8320. Now I'm thinking that might have been a bad decision...
1st question, why doesn't it play video? Anything I try to look at off youtube either says "error launching app/program" or "file too large, please try opening another file".
2nd question, what is "unlocking" a phone? What does it do? I'm trying to get the most out of my phone by being paitient and learning, but I feel like I'm too far behind to catch up...
3rd question, where is the pointer? My friend's curve (Verizon) has a pointer that moves with the trackball, mine (Tmobile) just scrolls.
I have more questions, but I'll stop here for now. Any help would be appreciated, and I do best with step-by-step K.I.S.S. instructions. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me!08-23-08 12:19 PM - Bummer... my friends' Verizon curve plays them and all kinds of other links and stuff too... maybe it's time to make a switch away from tmo?Unfortunately these Blackberrys don't support youtube videos. The newest one, the Bold, has support for it.
Welcome to CB
hope you stick around and learn more about your BB before deciding it's not for you.08-23-08 12:42 PM - Another video option. Vids won't stream if they're over a minute and a half, you need to save them. blueapple.mobi web video search
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com08-23-08 02:40 PM - Please research a bit before giving people incorrect information. These devices do support Youtube videos. The 4.5 OS plays Youtube videos like a charm, and even the older OS versions, like 4.3, allow you to view Youtube videos. I simply use blueapple.mobi, personally. As for the OP's original questions.....Unfortunately these Blackberrys don't support youtube videos. The newest one, the Bold, has support for it.

Please see above.

Unlocking a phone simply allows you to use GSM phones from one particular carrier on another. As long as you have a Tmo phone on a Tmo network, you don't need to worry about this.
3rd question, where is the pointer? My friend's curve (Verizon) has a pointer that moves with the trackball, mine (Tmobile) just scrolls.
You are most likely thinking of the cursor that appears while in a browser session. You can change this under your browser settings.
