[doubler3tard101]

theres actually a youtube app that you can download. i have it and it works pretty well

[zaxswyre2]

Thanks for doing this. The phone looks cool but actually sucks as you have demoed.

[MsGrowngurl]

Hey Chloe, do they still sell this phone??

[WirelessZone]

@MsGrowngurl Yes.

[wtflookacow18]

u suck

[WirelessZone]

@Tachimeh Understood but as you can imagine, I see and review tons of phones and many of the multimedia phones have a really decent web experience. This one does not.

[WirelessZone]

Who called it a smartphone?

[mikegh13]

you need to go to m.youtube.com. thats the only it will work. when i got my lg env3 and tried to go to youtube i just did youtube.com and i found out that i needed to go to m.youtube.com then you`re able to watch videos, comment, and stuff like you can on regular youtube. thats what im on now is m.youtube.com on my phone.

How do you save images from the browser?

[WirelessZone]

@ubnub945 I don't think you can with this device. If you have the browser open and there is a picture you want to save, you can try to select it, then see if your options have any offerings to "Save image"

IS MOBILE WEB FREE

[WirelessZone]

@hobogamer1000 No. Your best bet is to subscrible to a data plan. It is much cheaper than if you pay as you go.

[chatnow007]

Hey I was wondering If you could make a vid of Tethering with this phone

[WirelessZone]

@chatnow007 Sorry, I only keep these devices for about 6 months...usually enough time to make all the videos I need to make and answer all the questions YouTubers have...therefore, I no longer have that phone. It came out just about a year ago. I'm really sorry.

[leopardian]

I suppose I have to explain that the reason you can't view youtube videos on this phone is because of the basic browser. Even full-blown HTML browsers on cell phones often don't include a flash capability. At best it's usually flash-lite. How can you review phones and not know these things? I think you need to do a little research is all that I'm saying.

[HipHopTheme]

can you watch videos on the browser like youtube and is the browser slow , fast, or moderate compared to other phones?

[WWKayaking]

Hi, ive got a nationwide plan without unlimited mobile web, and i am not subscribed to any v cast or anything like that, how will I get billed for using mobile web?, I know its $1.99/mb but what does that mean?, if i use less then a mb will i be charged?, does it matter how long i use it?, thanks

[WirelessZone]

If you use less than 1 MB it will still round up. Go to blogdotwirelesszonedotcom for a description of the data pricing. There's also a chart that gives you an idea of MB usage. The article is called New Verizon Wireless data plans.

[WWKayaking]

Thanks, thats what i was wanting to know :)

[AnJ1420]

well, ive personly never used the web on my phones. so, but its not a big issue.

[WirelessZone]

Once you do its very addicting to be able to look something up on the fly. Once you start using it, its hard to go back to not using it!

[AnJ1420]

uhm, why not just go to facebook or myspace? it wouldve been ALOT easier.

[WirelessZone]

Either way, I found this phone's browser to be terrible and I know this because I've used the browser on every Verizon phone available.

[AGxB0Yx66]

you can't just search for youtube.

you have to go to entertainment, video, then click youtube. fromt there, You'll be able to watch videos!

[nspackman1]

u know that instead of going to search, then go to url...u just hit menu, and it says go to url. it skips a step

[CaliBoyClem]

can you change the settings so that the up arrow doesn't go to internet or the down arrow doesn't go to whatever it does the way the phone comes?

[WirelessZone]

Yes you can rearrange or change your shortcuts.

[cabacaaa]

omg i really want one my dad said thati can get one but i want one right know!!! oh ya how much does the web cost? oh ya and this is my first phone so i dont know how to do anything on anyphone except house phone.

[WirelessZone]

They are pretty easy to get the hang of. The price of the web depends on how much you are going to use it and what you are going to do with it, If you go to my blog blogdotwirelesszonedotcom, there is an article called New Verizon Wireless Data Plans. That will give you the prices $9.99 for 25MB/mo and $19.99 for 75MB/Mo. and more importantly explain the usage.

[mazdaspeedproduction]

i set my keytone to xylophone it sounds way more fun than, "beep....beep"

[WEEWEEIMFrench816]

i just got the alias 2 and i really like it

but whenever i try to watch youtube videos

it says generic error

help?

[WirelessZone]

I wish I could help you but as I showed in this video, this phone isn't very good at web browsing. I could not ever get it to play youTube videos.

[ronfutch]

yet another disappointment from our friends at samsung.

[TrustNotMyHeart]

Bless you! I had no idea if anyone was even going to show this part.

[WirelessZone]

I am really here to show you what I REALLY think about these phones. If there's something I don't like, I'm going to tell you. I am definately not here to glorify something if its not worthy!

[gunnyjake]

that's why dumbphones are dumb, they suck!

[ThousanWhite]

Can you do audio recording (voicenotes) with this? Like, for recording lectures?

[WirelessZone]

Yes you can, I made a video about voice mail and voice messages and I covered voice memos. It should be live sometime today on the Wireless Zone channel.
