I've had my orbit 2 for nearly a week now and I'm very disappointed. In general, the graphics are MUCH slower than my XDA mini S, which is over two years old. This is due to a well-known issue with drivers for the MSM7200 chipset and ATI imageon support. HTC (the manufacturer) refuses to release a working driver.
Additionally, video streaming is a non-starter, but this is O2's problem, not HTC. Live video streaming via the internet (eg youtube etc) using the built-in apps ONLY works using a WiFi connection and WILL NOT WORK via 3G or GPRS on this phone. There are work-arounds, but only for specific websites and you have to install and buy extra software. The built-in software if fully capable, but won't work with the O2 network.
