Last Q, when you connect these cables must you turn off your phone or are they "plug and play"

Thanx!

Looks like it will do the job, you just plug it in and the picture appears on the screen.

Plug and play.

Its a bit of a wank really, show off pretty games to friends.. no real use i can think of.

Unless you wana watch a movie on a tv that has hdmi but no USB.

Would have been better if when you plug the phone into the telly, the screen on the phone then becomes a touchpad that you control a cursor on the screen with.

Would have made for pretty good Angry Birds etc. experiences.

Those thieves!!!, even in Mexico (Telcel as carrier) included the HDMI cable, the main reason I brought this phone! (went from Iconia A500 to this... to watch anime without a PC, I have been without a laptop 3 years straight, I found myself not using it, now with tegra 2 and LG more reason not to).

Mine doesn't have the HDMI cable included as well...
Is it really useful? I don't see I'm gonna need this, but heck I might be wrong...

Hello!

In Germany there isn't a HDMI-cable included either...

I use this adapter and a cable I have always installed in case I want to connect my laptop to the TV.

I use it for slideshows, video playback and online radio playback.
...works fine.

And on the phone side it is plug and play, but you TV might need to be changed to the right source channel (i.e. HDMI 3 in my case) – but some TV sets might do this automatically if there isn't connected any other video source.

Heh just remembered, my HDMI cable is hanging out the back of my telly... shame the phone is gone

HDMI is not that useful imho. Some games are great to play on big screen but there is problem with short cable, you need to be very close to TV.

I also tried GTA 3 on big screen (plasma hd ready). Very poor graphic, i would rather install this game on my PC again.

HDMI can be extended http://www.dealextreme.com/p/gold-plated-hdmi-female-to-female-adapter-converter-29363 so you can get at least 3-4m from TV.

Bought it along with micro HDMI and a normal HDMI cable, works just fine. But, it's not so useful, really. Photos are not in high res, movies are sometimes ok but some don't work at all (mkv 4.1 profile and up, there are multiple threads about that). So... maybe it's better to use DLNA and ordinary PC, PS3, real media players.

I never got an HDMI cable in my UK box either.
