FYI, I noticed you mentioned getting videos to work on your BlackBerry was still an issue for you... I too have a blackberry, though its a 8300 (curve from att) and Ive found they need to be encoded just right for the player to play them.
Ive had success using the blackberry video converter from http://www.seabyrdtech.com/bbvideo which is really just a gui wrapper for mencoder which you can get for windows or linux.

ive used mencoder successfully like so....
mikbrent@msb:~$cat bbvid.sh
#!/bin/bash
mencoder -vf scale=320:-2 $1 -o $2 -of avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=230:acodec=mp3:abitrate=64
obviously.. use it like so...
mikbrent@msb:~$bbvid.sh input.avi output.avi
then copy output.avi to your blackberry and you should be good
hope that helps someone
