Am I getting charged Mobile Browser fees whenever I watch a side-loaded video?  I ask only because the same little alternating arrow icon flashes whenever I am watching one.  I have the video converted, and properly added to my microSD then I go to fun and video clips where I locate my videos... is this the correct way?  I just got this phone a couple of days ago so I am still trying to get used to it.  Please let me know!

Thanks    Huh?

probably not.  since you are watching a film from your SD card.  i doubt it uses inet access.  I've never had a problem with it so i don't think u should have to worry.

If you believe mobilitysupport on the bell.ca forums, then it looks like you do have to use the internet to play videos from your memory card.

There is a way to modify the index file to prevent this (change PERM 0=2 to 0=0)... if you can find the right index file and if you're comfortable changing it. Alternatively, you can just ask them to sever your internet access.

What do you mean "the folder is usually empty"?
If you go to Fun --> Video Clips --> My Videos is that list empty? It should find all of the (MP4 and 3GP) video clips on your memory card.

I can't play high quality sideloaded videos on my Instinct(Telus).

It's lame.

so if we have to pay to watch the vids we put into our phone ourselves, how about music?? o_o
charging us for that is just absurd though =.=
