    Nope. I've checked all the obvious places. It's not there. To bad. I's like to have it. Only vids I have are the ones from my card.

    Tried a youtube video downloader on my PC. Wouldn't let me download it for some reason.

    ETA: Had to upgrade the Youtube downloader. I might get it yet.

    ETA2: Got it. That Youtube downloader is pretty sweet. It snagged it off of Youtube and then it has a built in converter with lots of formats. (I used MPEG4)

    I just had to have that vid for work Monday for when all the iCo-workers want to see my new "Android" ;-)

    pros and cons

    So far, I really like this phone. Well worth upgrading from my DX and I waited a long time to find a phone that was worth the move.
    Pros:
    The screen is gorgeous. I really can't see any pixelation due to the Pentile display. At normal viewing distance from the phone, it's exactly the same size as my 42" HDTV and looks great.

    I like the interface and don't really know if the differences from my DX are due to ICS or TouchWiz. I like seeing contact pix with conversations. I like the way icons move in and out of the screens better than the move to homescreen option on the DX. I like the lock screen.

    So far, I like the way it whistles for messages. That could get old fast though. I had to turn off the screen noise and will soon turn off the typing clicks.

    Wow, just did a jaw drop on the camera. I took a photo of my computer and I can zoom in to actually read the text.

    Overall build. I like the plastic and metal parts. Yes, the back cover is really thin but it doesn't feel like it would be easily damaged when it is attached.

    The charger is smaller than the Moto charger. The earphones included are nicer than some that I have bought

    Cons:

    Selection of ringtones. Nothing there would make me actually notice it from the background noise. Gotta find something else. I need a phone to be LOUD.

    Position of the on/off button and volume rocker. Liked these better on the DX. It's hard for me to push the on/off without hitting the volume. I end up using the home button for wake but sleep is really annoying and the on/off button is too likely to give me the turn off options when I really just wanted to make it sleep.

    DeJavu, if it is any help I am in Canada on Virgin Mobile... (phones are the same though). My call quality is excellent. Haven't had any issues so far at all with the phone and yes I did a factory reset staright out of the box. This phone even in Dual-Core is a beast, best phone I've ever owned.

    I came up with Ringtone Maker when I checked reviews and made one easily from one of my songs. It only has minor ads and is very easy to use.

    Try Ringdroid for ringtone needs.

    Ringdroid works great. I used it to make my Mission Impossible ringtone 2 years ago. The theme makes for a great ringtone because it "rings" loud and then plays the music.

    Also looks cool if your phone rings in front of people and you answer it with a concerned look on your face... then set the phone down and say RUN!!!!!!!

    @Labrador, thanks for the update.
    The call quality and reception are what are important to me, then it filters down from there. But hey, it is a phone first right.
    I'm looking forward to seeing how it works for me. Mine should be delivered tomorrow sometime. Hopefully I can get it setup before a commitment later in the evening.
