I installed skyfire on my 5800. it is amazing, it is still in Beta, but works flawlessly for my.

In case anyone doesn't know, skyfire is a full internet browser for the mobile platform, once installed you can access almost anything you can on your normal pc.

I know there's other software like this, but skyfire has Flash10 built in, so you can go to any flash based website and stream content, not just youtube.

Enjoy.

Had it on my 5800 for a bit. Not a big fan. Only like it cos I can read PDFs on my 5800 without having to download any software. Even on a fast internet connection I find its slow loading pages and flash is a nightmare.

Oh yeah, it still has problems, although it still in beta. so they may be fixed.

I like it cos, i can get wifi at work, so i can access all my favourite streaming sites and watch all my favourite programmes live from America, as they happen.
