The Nokia 5330 is a cool Nokia device that can do a lot of things such as watching mobile tv, 3g browsing, MMS and so on. But can you watch a Youtube video on this phone? Well, Yes and No.

There are two ways to watch YouTube videos on a Nokia 5330 phone:
- By Live streaming
- By Downloaded videos

Live Streaming:
This simply means watching videos on Youtube video by using a mobile browser and visiting the mobile version on Youtube. Youtube mobile site tends to load at a different speed that the full version site so it should be a good enough speed for your Nokia phone. All you need is to make sure you already have mobile browsing capability and then open up your browser and go to http://m.youtube.com/. You can then browse and watch any Youtube video you want. You should consider your data browsing cost too on your service provider. Live streaming is much costlier than downloading and watching the videos

By Downloaded Videos
If you can download videos from Youtube, you can also store them on your Nokia 5330 phone's memory cards for watching later. I do have a couple of Youtube video clips I've saved in my phones 8gb card and these include some food recipes and phone repair guides. Youtube doesn't give tools that allow you to do direct download from their site so you need third party tools like keepvid.com. Just go to the site and paste the Youtube video url of the video you want and you will be provided with several links for different formats of the video. You can then click on the format you want to download to your desktop for later transfer to your mobile phone. The Nokia 5330 phone can play movies in the format .3gp.
So after copying them to your phone's memory card, you can watch them over and over again using your media player.
