Digicel blocks streaming. Its working fine on bmobile network, its been ever since 2004 or so. Jus buy a 100 credit and test it....

That's true my brother was trying unsuccessfully to stream with his digicel SE K700 and Samsung G600 phones.Even with EDGE they are not still offering Streaming. While i can simply stream (audio) with my work horse SE J300
on the bmobile network.

Streaming works if you install OS 4.5
And really only if you have wifi enabled...otherwise you wont have the bandwidth for youtube. I do have a blackberry curve 8320 for sale with both wifi and 4.5 installed by the way. I have a post in the items for sale section.
I have been able to stream over GPRS but it takes FOREVER to load the first frame. If you have WIFI at home or you're at a hotspot, it works beautifully.
