YouTube Mobile Site: Found

Screenshot0003
HoFo member JonnyBruha was looking around the links on his Nokia N73 and discovered what seems to be that YouTube Mobile site that Nokia and YouTube announced back at 3GSM! The URL apparently is "m.youtube.com," though the best way to access it is to open your "Web" browser and go to your bookmarks. One of the ones that should be pre-loaded is the "Nokia Video Links" one, and the top choice is YouTube.

I was able to pull the page up, but had to go to RealPlayer to define a default access point. (Which reminds me, why in the world are you still using RealPlayer, Nokia!?) Once that was done, I was able to watch the videos easily.

There is a menu you can browse, and a search box, though I was not able to click on the "Go" button. Perhaps that’s coming later. Anyways, you heard it here first, folks, now go YouTubing…

This is the bookmarks page of my "Web" browser. You’ll click on "Nokia Video Links"

Which brings you to this page. To be honest, I’ve never looked around on these pages, there seems to be some neat links.

This is the page that pops up. It’s the most recently featured videos, showing the title, length, star rating, number of views, and a link to more info.

This is the video I chose, some guy offering his cellphone number to the world, just to see who called him. Cool.

And finally the main menu. I was able to enter "N95" in the search box, but it wouldn’t let me click the "Go" button. However, some of the different categories are obviously available.
