hdmi adaptor included?

yea i do believe it comes with one. don't really know why since the phone can do DNLA

Connecting via HDMA is much faster than setting up DLNA - especially if you want to share something and you're at a friend's house or you don't want to set up the DLNA settings at someone else's network. Plus - DLNA is bandwidth dependent to get full 1080p whereas a direct HDMA connection doesn't need network bandwidth at all.

I've seen 2 un boxings where it's not in the box. I think it's not included. Maybe just in that one video. We will have to wait and see

Steve: It is not included, you are correct. If you look at the PhoneDog review you put up, the back of the box is shown briefly. There is no HDMI adapter shown on the list of contents.

I just saw the same thing in the unboxing by Phone Dog. I guess Sprint threw a free hdmi adapter in the box that went to BWOne, lol.

No check again, there is definitely a open spot in the box.

I was sort of kidding. Given that Sprint/Samsung decided to lose the micro-SD card that has been a feature since practically the first phone to have one, there is not much else to put in there. All we get, as the man said, is a phone and charger.

I remember that my HTC Touch Diamond came with a micro-SD, a charger, ear phones, and a leather flip-top case. My, how times have changed in a few short years.

I'm surprised that they don't actually include earphones. I thought the international version of the Galaxy S 2 came with them, I could be wrong.

Yeah it would be nice to get more with the phone, but I really don't expect anything anymore.
