I have a small gripe with the youtube application that comes with the satio, it doesn't seem to have a fullscreen feature, what is the point in having an app like this if it won't take full advantage of the large screen, does anyone know of an updated app or a setting that can alter this ?

Im assuming its that useless YouTube App made by YouTube themselves? Its complete rubbish.
Try VideoHUB: http://www.openvideohub.com/OpenVideoHub_S60_5_0.sis this app allows you to even download YouTube vids and view any other flv format vids in your S60.

ok after using this for a while it does seem to have some issues, theplayer itself is supurb if it worked properly, what i find is that unless i completely download the video before playing it freezes after the first buffering stage, it's a pity because it uses the full screen of the satio and video quality is excellent but it won't stream, looking on the application website forum I see that others have this problem.

That realy is a pity,i use it to download the videos and then watch,i prefer that over streaming,but i can understand where you're coming from,not everyone wants to wait especialy if its a long video. Have you tried going into Settings- Start Video- and set it to As Soon as possible? And also making the Temp Memory the Phone Memory (its faster) ?
It should all be fixed in the next version, otherwise try Skyfire: http://get.skyfire.com ,awful web browser BUT the best for watching videos on the web especialy YouTube.

no idea if your phne works on this but kinoma app streams youtube in fantastic quality. even sharper than videohub. but playing a top quality stream without buffering all depends on your 3g speed of course. unfortunately kinoma isnt free
