N82 youtube problems with latest firmware

Watching videos on youtube via standard built-in nokia browser worked flawlessly on my nokia N82 black. Right out of the box I could watch standard desktop version of youtube webpage and play any video

BUT ... suddenly (and I have no idea what has caused this) it stopped working and it doesn't work anymore after hard reset (*#7370*) and even after reflashing firmware.

1) First of all the main youtube webpage looks weird right at the start - the logo YOUTUBE on the top of the page looks as if it had 16 colours (you can obviously see something isn't right with the browser - but this happenes only on youtube webpage)

2) When you click any video it will either
A) crash the browser or
B) whole page will load except the video (the area where the video is supposed to be will stay blank)

Any idea what might be causing this? Anyone else having these issues?

It has stopped working on both my N82 and E71

I think YouTube have changed the way they encode (or the display method code for ) the videos, the videos now seem to require a higher version of the flash plugin, sadly it would appear Flash-Lite 3 is no longer able to display You-Tube flash video

Oh thanks a lot I was just about to go to nokia care center. I'm glad to hear it's not a problem with my dearest new love N82.

I found watching youtube on N82 much better with Mobitubia program than built in browser.
