Only slightly, only slightly. Still would like them to add more of the music videos to there mobile site , but have noticed faster load times. 73. I'm on sprint w/curve 8530.

is this supposedly just for the mobile site, or the downloadable youtube app as well?

Still looks like crap to me.

Sound quality and video quality is much better.

I noted that the speed was better but the overall quality of the video was not improved.

I definitely think it's faster but quality is still bad. Maybe it'll help to know who is experiencing good video quality, like from what carrier and from what area.

Sound quality is maybe better, but the video is still rubbish.

Why is RIM letting the Droid get away with AMAZING resolution and lightning load times??

I can finally watch a vid for longer then 30 seconds on my 9000.
No crashes, works perfectly for me now!!

I'm with verizon.

Quality is still low.

Quality still leaves a lot to look forward to.

It looked great for about a 24hr period, then went back to the same old quality

I can't say for sure whether or not there is a better view or not, but it definitely does load faster than usual.

definetally better. Ever since I recieved the update to 5.0 from Sprint. Xenozu even displays it better on my Tour.

Also, after the 5.0 upgrade, I have noticed that the naitive browser, as well, seems to render pages more acurately and html dropdowns have been working. Even games like Mafia Wars isn't refreshing the screen. It takes a while, but it works almost like on a computer.

Hopefully this is the direction the new webkit browser is going in.

I'm on Sprint in NYC.

There is a "HD" option at the video launch page; when picked the video is higher quality and fills the entire width of the screen. It probably requires the video to actually be available in this format. The Tron Legacy trailer pictured is one such video. It does come at a requisite bandwidth cost, though.

Just tested it out and it has improved slightly and looks a lot better than it did before they tweaked it. As for the people complaining that it still looks bad, "unless you are smart enough to invent a graphics card for optimal performance on phones, quit your complaining and be greatful already that someone is trying to fix things".

It still looks like crap. kinda sad cuz on my wifes i pod it looks like a hi def movie :-) i downloaded that youtube player for bb and boy does that app suck. atleast it was free...

I can't nor ever have been able to play youtube vids on my BB Tour. My carrier says they don't block it but I'm starting to beleive they are.

So nope, it looks exactly the same to me

"An error has occurred attempting to play media"

I have a Storm2 and not sure where I downloaded the official app, but I had one until yesterday. I found a link to download, and it did, but it was a youtube web shortcut, not the app. I uninstalled it, but it somehow removed my official app. Now I cannot fine a place to download - m.google.com sends me to the mobile site and google searches are frustrating me. My app actually pulled up my account, had favorites tab...it was nice, but I cannot find where to dl it again. Google's site says there isn't one for blackberry but I had it till yesterday. Help!!

Looks better to me for sure, at least on the Tour.

Wish I could tell you when I click watch video nothing happens media player does not open

Using the mobile site (and the "HD" link to the video) I do see a noticeable and welcome improvement in the video quality. It was so bad before that now I feel this improvement is "acceptable", but it really needs one more step up to be high quality.

Edit: Tour on Verizon, leaked 5.0

I am not seeing any improvement. I tried the app and the mobile site and am watching an HD video I uploaded. However, I'm also not finding the HD option on the mobile site, either. Can anyone help point me in the right direction on that?

Thanks!

Works extremely well! That made you tube look almost as good as the IPhone.

The quality has not changed on my device, and is currently still at level sux to piss poor.

Not like you'd want to or need to, but I was unaware that you could stream youtube and play music simultaniously on your BB.

This may be old news for some, but I just stumbled across this recently when I was listening to music and logged into youtube from Opera brower. I though youtube by default would override the music player, but it didn't and they each worked independent of one another.

Has anyone else come across this?

it's been HQ for some time now. this is nothing new. what am I missing?

So about 2 days ago all my videos looked high quality, and after I did a reset on my phone, none do.

I'd like to try the "optimize" option, however, whenever I scroll to the bottom of the page, there is no "optimize" link or selection whatsoever. Perhaps I am doing something others aren't? Say changing the browser or not putting a setting to see this magically hidden option everyone is talking about?

Nevermind, everyone failed to mention that you need to click on "Help" 1st.

Thanks for giving me credit to my comparisons and pictures.

I can't even watch youtube on my 8900 -_-
