youtube via vodafone on non-Vodafone specific N95

Vodafone have announced a service for their subscribers to upload videos from their phones to youtube.com

1) Why the need for such a service when the N95 already has full internet access?

2) The only advantage would be cost: Would the Vodafone upload service be cheaper than if videos were uploaded via the standard web access.

3) How is it done? Via the Vodafone-live portal, or Multi Media Messaging of the video?

4) Is it available to general, non-Vodafone locked N95 phones that you can buy outright sim-free? Or is it only available to Vodafone custom N95s?

You can even use N73 to access youtube with good data bundle.
Vodafone data charges are £2.35 per meg upload/download.
I don't know how this new service will cost, but should be cheap enough for peoples to use.

I use the N95 with T-Mobile Web and Walk which is unlimited data (T&Cs state 1gig fair use per month) this costs just �7.50 on top of monthly tariff and is Broadband speed..

Unfortunatley I have not yet found a solution to view You Tube videos on the N95 as the browser does not support the version of flash required. However, Google video is fine using the Ipod/PSP download option.

Anyone found a workaround for this?

Cheers, Pete

Youtube Mobile is beta stage at the moment.

You can go to video centre in your N95 and select add new service, there you will find youtube.

Although its to basic i found.

Well, I check out salsa dancers, since that is my personal interest, and the most famous ones have about one hit on tinytube.net. On real youtube, they have 50-100 if that's an indication. Maybe that's the approximate hit ratio. But other than that tinytube.net seems to me be the best alternative so far, so I really thanky you for the tip! I will use it. We're waiting for the ability to read .flv files in our N95s of course, but while we wait...
