Video Mail / Sprint

Hello,

I'm unable to upload my videos from my sprint cell phone to my PC. This is a know problem that according to Apple requires that I use bootcamp. I've done it for a while but I'm now wondering if there exist another fix /workaround to this problem that does not require that that switch to virtual window because it's inconvenient.

MacBook (Original), Mac OS X (10.5.5)

I have the same problem i.e. I cannot upload videos sent from a Sprint PCS mobile to my email account. I am aware of the virtual box and bootcamp but I would much prefer a Mac solution/workaround...

What does you cannot upload videos sent from a PCS mobile phone to your email account mean?

Does this mean a video sent as an email attachment from a Sprint PCS mobile to your email address cannot be downloaded by your email account, or is not available when accessing your account via webmail access using a browser?

Yes, I receive an email from an address such as xxx@pm.sprint.com which has a View Video button in it. If click on it it redirects to

http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/share.do?invite=BEzrmT578hUX0Uc7kLWh&shareName=MMS &messageState=RETRIEVED

but there the video does not play as it should. This is a known problem to both Sprint PCS and Apple. I'm just hoping there's a technical guy out there that has gone though the trouble of finding a workaround that does not involve Windows and would not mind sharing it.

This has everything to do with how Sprint has decided to create their website for video access.

Unless there is a browser that is compatible with a Mac that supports this, I think it is doubtful.

Another reason why I don't use Sprint or any company that creates their website with closed Microsoft standards requiring someone to use Internet Explorer in order to access their website.
