Import the video with your computer and upload it to a website such as YouTube or Flickr. If you don't have a YouTube or Flickr account, you will need to establish one. You can make a video you upload to YouTube private, or only those you send the link to have access to it. You can upload a video from your iPhone to YouTube and if connected to an available wi-fi network when doing so, it will be uploaded from your iPhone as full resolution.

The video uploaded to YouTube which you can make private - private being only the people you designate can view the video - would not be downloaded by someone with a Blackberry or Android. The video would be streamed by their Blackberry or Android no different from when watching a YouTube video with your iPhone.

You will not be able to email a video that large or anywhere near that large.

The video was imported by your computer and you attempted to upload the video to your YouTube account from your computer? Any reason provided for the rejection?

Videos uploaded to YouTube can be...

High Definition
Up to 2 GB in size.
Up to 15 minutes in length.
A wide variety of formats

I've uploaded videos direct from my iPhone and videos imported from my iPhone with my computer from my computer to YouTube with no problem.

Qik Video Camera Pro ($2.99)

pronounced "quick"

I've used it to upload a 13-minute video shot with my iphone camera app (idr the file size, but it would have been about same size as yours). Qik allows you to import an existing video to the app, and it will automatically compress it. I noticed no serious reduction in quality after this. Your original video remains untouched in your Photos album. Once imported, the compressed copy can be uploaded to various places, including Qik's own servers (a free signup is required, http://qik.com/info/overview). When the upload is done (it's reasonably quick... qik... haha), Qik provides you with a private link, and the option to email your friends with said link, to the video.

It's worked for me. Good luck.
