Hi
Can anyone write a guide / how to in laymans terms to help me get the best out of my phone.

I understand that a podcast is like a radio show you download to your device and listen to it later. but thats about it...the words subscribe and feed seem to come into it too.

i want to watch video podcasts too...what are they called and how do i do it?

Whats the difference between directories and podcasts

When i use the nokia application and searched for the smartphones show viedo podcast it said not found...but i have seen screenshots of it on nokia N95

i like to keep up to date with technology and video gaming,,,,so a video podcast about the latest games would be really cool..Any suggestions

PS..the data charges don't bother me...unmetered and home wifi

Many thanks

Cheers for the quick pointer, i still have a couple of questions....

Some of the shows have enourmous file sizes, are these really meant for a pc?
also if i do download it where does it go in my memory card ?
do they delete themselves when i listen to them
and if i do delete them when i click update will it redownload the ones i've already listened to
Is there anyway to bookmark the file so i don't have to go back to the start of each file if stop the program

And some of the files are M4V these are video podcast that came frpm the Nokia N95 directory on my podcast application, am i missing a codec or did they just put loads of stuff in there regardless of wether it plays or not.

What file format should a vodcast be in?

Is this a good podcasting / Vodcasting program or are there better...don't mind paying for quality

MANY MANY thanks for your time and patience😊
