Has anyone else noticed that on WiFi the iPhone seems to play a higher resolution video than when using EDGE? Or am I just imagining?

yeah, it downloads lower resolution when u are using edge so it will load faster.

Playing videos over edge does have lower quality than wifi. Its just a bandwidth issue. Edge is just so darn slow its impossible to play videos at full reaolution.

I would say its a pretty big difference, to me at least. Using EDGE with youtube, the videos aren't even watchable.

once again, they do that to compensate for the slower speed. i kno it sux but if it still downloaded at full quality then it would prolly take longer and everyone would complain about that....

I was a little pissed by this too until I went to apple.com/trailers and tried to watch trailers in there. They don't have a wifi version so you download the full quality. It takes forever! Took me 10 minutes for one trailer
