For some reason the video quality for all youtube apps sucks. I watched the same video on my friends iphone and was embarressed when we compaired it to my HD7 after talking it up. Then I took a video and when I played it back it sucked too?? What am I doing wrong, is there a switch that i havent flipped yet to change it from average to badass?!?!

Well as far as the video you recorded,be sure you set it to 720p in the video camera settings.The YouTube app is absolutely horrible.There are still alot of bugs in this os as well.Things that were working great in the old os are now broken. I hope YouTube releases an updated version like the old one onthe hd2 and former phones.Netflix is absolutely amazing though, as long you have a good 3g or WiFi connection. I can't use WiFi because this phone doesn't allow static ip address assignment like the hd2 did.Lets just hope the updates coming fix the flaws in this os.

for some reason, the youtube app restricts the video size on data connection. Over wifi, the youtube is comparable to other phones.
As far as other videos, everything has been as good or better than my hd2.
