Thanks to the amazing Symbian S60 platform that powers the Nokia E71 there are many ways to watch Youtube on your Nokia E71. Flash Lite 3 is supported in the built in web browser, but you may find that watching Youtube videos with that method can be slow and clunky.
You can also use one of my favorite free S60 application called Mobitubia to watch and download Youtube videos with your E71.
With Mobitubia, you get full accesss to the Youtube database on your Eseries smartphone in good quality, full screen format. The load time is actually pretty quick as well. Best of all you can save your viewed clips to your memory card if you want to check em out later, without having to reload them.
As you can see above you have a nice clean interface with a handful of options.
If you go to the Youtube icon you get the following:
-Recently Featured
-Popular Clips
-Open Web Clip (if you know the URL)
-View by Youtube ID
-Clip Search
Other icons include Saved Clips, Open Clip URL, About, & Exit.
You have so many options while watching a video clip as well.
-Play/Pause
-Replay
-Status Bar (show, hide, autohide)
-Max Frame Skip (keep it at 0)
-Save Clip (when finished viewing, to your phone or card)
-Back and Exit
Make sure you have an unlimited data plan or use this on a WiFi connection, Mobitubia obviously eats up tons of data.
Like I said you can get this great S60 Youtube application for free, although donations are welcomed of course by the developer.

If you have another Youtube and E71 solution I'd like to know. I love trying out new methods.
