Ît should work. If it doesn't try upgrading your OS to the latest.

I've got the latest OS. I tried that first. I can browser m.youtube.com and when I click a thumbnail the BB Media Player launches.

I then get the error "An error has occured attempting to play media."

Oh, and I'm on EVDO. I don't have a microSD in (not sure if that matters)

I get the same error when using Moodio. :(

I have read in other threads where users on Telus have issues with playing youtube videos. I am not sure why.

Isn't that kind of censorship illegal? I live in Canada, not China.

I don't think they're "censoring" as much as "limiting" bandwidth usage. It may not be either but if I were to pick one I'd say the latter.

"You will not use the service for: multi-media streaming;"

I found this - in the fine print of course.

I guess that settles that!

I can play the videos, but I can't search for videos.
