I don’t know how I missed this one… Thanks Willie for sending it in! It turns out that there is a free mobile video streaming service called mywaves. I did some searching and found some mentions in the forums about it but could not find much else. Its kind of like another free mobile YouTube with some better content.

So I decided to try it out on my OS 4.5 8310. Turns out it works like a charm!!! I did not test it on an OS 4.3 device but it should work since it also supports video streaming. MyWaves even has a BlackBerry homescreen launcher. (Yay!)
It has great videos from Sports Illustrated, CBS News, Spike TV, VH1 and quite a bit more. You can even upload your own video and stream it to your phone. This worked like crap over EDGE but maybe over WiFi…
Just head on over to www.mywaves.com from your BlackBerry to view the videos. You can download the BlackBerry homescreen launcher at this link: mywaves.com/downloadapp
Thanks Willie!

On the 8830 (OS v4.2.2.196), while you cannot stream the videos, one can successfully open the .3gp files for download/playback from the MyWaves site (or save them to the microSD card).
