Two taps to go back? I don’t get why you folks are so excited when something as basic as that is an issue. Navigation is still an issue with Opera Mini for me.

You guys are right about YouTube, I had watched some video from YouTube but it was the mobile portal and actually played in WM. It will be worth downloading this new version, even though the version # is the same, to see if Flash really does work with YouTube.

James, are we missing something? You said it does youtube. vTap is definitely worth checking out. It's my new go-to app for watching video on the net. Great search feature. Works well on HTC Advantage. Also, are there any improvements since the version that came with the HTC Advantange? I can't find anything on the net about it.</p> </div>
