Video Playback Quality on a PC
Ok, I was hoping to take some 3 min video clips, transfer them to a PC, and play them back in a large window for all to see but the quality stinks!!! I mean really blurry. Is this simply a technology limitation? Are the video clips just meant to be sent from phone to phone? Or is there a way to 'clean-up' the playback when viewed in a large window on a PC? Thanks.

Its a phone with a video recorder, not a video camera, sending from phone to phone, or even grabbing a quick video for you to keep or send via email will work great. But full screen fu...

Oh well. I guess I'll still have to save-up for a digital video camera! 😲
