I find it is an amazing phone for TV/You tube. I have not come across buffering or anything. I tend to watch video on wifi, although I have rarely used the mobile data for youtube - never had bother with it. I'm on Vodafone.

I kind of suspect that the type of mobile signal you use makes a difference, though. If my phone has the H symbol (hsdpa) then I have no bother at all. But, if I'm in an area that has E symbol (edge) or any other, then I can barely browse facebook or twitter let alone watch any videos! But, this would happen with more or less any phone - I previously had an HTC and it was the same.

If you can use wifi, though, all the better (and it won't eat up your data plan, as videos and TV use an amazing amount of data!
