        @ surya thanks man
        I think der is no need to install the settings given by the service provider for GPRS bcoz it is already installed in the set. I'm using airtel(64k) sim, it's working fine.

                  5233 is 5230 without inbuilt GPS.

                  Buy 5230... you get an excellent GPS feature for extra 900 - 1000 bucks.

                              Emir, 06 Mar 2010Hi Surya! yes becouse no one here cant help me and answer c... more@Emir

                              Bro I replied long back but this SILLY system is Moderating I dont know what. MAN I didnt even copy the whole reply. Alright .... Firstly Update the firmware because this update has a lot to do with the flashlite component & if you are aware of u must be knowing that Youtube completely works on FLASH. This firmware updates the flashlite component to 3.1 and improves the Buffer rate hence the STREAMING Quality & fixes a lot of bugs here n there.

                              If you are not too positive abt firmware update then try this, use YT in a browser like OPERA and see what the result is.

                              Also theres one more thing to it ..... most of the service providers have an unlimited service but they deliberately disallow the ONLINE STREAMING Services. You will have to talk to your customer care for that.

                              Keep me POSTED.

                                Anonymous, 06 Mar 2010how is this possible SURYA cz every1 is using new sim card.... moreNO I didnt say that everyone has to use an OLD Sim ..... I said thats definitely one of the reasons that I am aware of thats causing this kind of problem and no everyone using a 64K SIM is not facing this problem but few people definitely are.

                                2nd everyone using 5230 doesnt necessarily has to use an old sim but at the same time everyone who is using a New SIM is not necessarily using a 64K Sim alright. It all depends on the Service provider region to region.

                                To Confirm whether you are using a 64K Sim or not just remove it & see whether it has a 64K CHIP logo somewhere.

                                About firmware.... NOKIA 5230 has a latest update available and the precise version is v12.0.089 n you can update it through Nokia Software updater or OVI

                                        k then first try to update your firmware cause this update really had a lot to do with Flashlite & if you know the Technicality of it then you must be knowing that Entire Youtube works on FLASH. So this update is definitely a must for you cause its gonna fix a lot of bugs related to Flash Streaming & Flash Buffer Rate.

                                        Secondly if you want then before updating the Firmware try using a browser like OPERA for YT n see whats the result.

                                        One more aspect is that many service providers do give an unlimited Internet Service but they deliberately disallow online video streaming services for obvious reasons. So check that out with your customer care.

                                        Lemme Know.
