My phone is using Opera Mobile and some media player that should support rtsp streaming, but apparently there are problems when visiting m.youtube.com and trying to play a video. I think that I need to get realplayer for UIQ, I know that relplayer supported rtsp on my last phone (with S60 3rd).

When I think about it, my Nokia phone was much nicer than my current Sony Ericsson P1i, it had a very nice browser with a zooming feature that allowed webpages to be displayed in full format (but downsized), and also realplayer installed by default (and a flash player). IIRC Symbian UIQ 3.3 will have better multimedia features.

I also realized how nice it would be with mobile broadband and a webservice that allows live streaming of video to a webpage (like ustream), but this works on ustream because of the webcam support in flash, these features will probably be developed in the next few years when smartphone will default with larger screens and more powerfull hardware.
