    I've not been able to get it to work on O2 (someone said they don't support the streaming required and I've not bothered to look into it much).

    Vodafone market this as part of their Live service I believe.

    Depends on your phone tbh.

    You can download youtube vids easily, there's loads of websites where you stick in the url and can download the video instead of streaming it.

    They're all in flash .flv format. So all you need to do is find out what formats your phone can play (probably .3gp, but many can do more), convert your video to that format, then stick it on your phone via a data cable or whatever.

    If you mean download straight without a PC in between, then i dunno, tbh.

    Take a look at that - the videos come from youtube - they don't have the full selection but a subset. However, you can both stream and save them from there.

    i converted some using some website (keepvid?) that lets you download the .flv then converting to .3gp using a commandline thing called ffmpeg & uploading with bluetooth or cable

    the whole process is a bit of a bollox so i don't really bother with it much

    Videos from tinytube.net as mentioned or mywaves.com play on phones without the need to convert.
