YouTube for S60 gains full-screen and wider support

Published by at

Google's native S60 YouTube client has just got itself a significant update, to v2.2.17, now working in full-screen mode (at last!) on S60 5th Edition phones like the N97, 5800 and Samsung i8910 HD and with new countries and languages added to its officially supported list: Brazil, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia and Sweden. You can get the update by going to m.google.com in Web on your phone. Screenshots below the break.

Disappointingly, there's still no way to log in (let alone stay logged in), for access to favourites and commenting. Watch this space!

PS. N97 owners might like to try the version of 2.2.17 served up for the i8910 HD and 5800: youtube.sisx
