poor quality YouTube videos

Hi, I am having trouble with YouTube on my I8910, the quality of the videos is awful, and make it pretty much unwatchable. I am fairly sure I have seen images of this phone with a YouTube widget, and this is supposed to be a really good phone for multi-media (they keep banging on about the "hd"😉, so why is it I cannot get a good video quality on YouTube? Is the hd only used on videos that you record yourself, or do I just need to adjust my settings? Or am I supposed to re-enact all my favourite shows whilst someone films me with my phone so that I can watch them in hd! Would really appreciate anyones help on this. Thanks.

Use desktop view of the YouTube website (instead mobile one).
No help? Blame YouTube and FlashLite

Yes, it must be Youtube not really understanding that the client is an S60v5 handset - if youtube can serve great content to iPhone, I hope it's just a question of time they realise the i8910, or equivalent exists... I agree, the videos currently served are completely unwatchable - I just use my iPod touch 2nd gen instead, and watch nothing via 3G :icon13:
