Nah it's called good marketing. The HDMI cable was intentionally missing, they want to get as much out of accessories as humanly possible.

Has anybody unearthed the correct HDMI cable online anywhere yet?

Keep one and give one to each of your 499 friends? LOL

It's pretty new I mean I imagine that it'll mainstream when the Evo kicks off but it's a fairly new standard.

Yea - its looking like you'll have to get a cord throught Sprint and not a 3rd party.

The only thing I find missing in the "overall" specs is how much "internal storage" the phone will have.

The Incredible lists 8GB of internal storage, as well as a slot for microSD up to 16GB. I'm assuming the EVO will have at least the same amount of internal storage, but there's no mention of it in the spec sheet yet.

As for things that "should be included," the EVO is already going to have "1 up" on the incredible because it'll supposedly include a 8GB microSD. The Incredible has a slot for the microSD, but it is not included with the phone.

I'm sure that Monoprice will have them soon. If they don't have them by the release date though, I'll probably pay Sprint pricing. Not very good at waiting for things I want.

As far as features go:

Super AMOLED screen is my only semi-realistic want on the phone. Noise cancellation would be nice too I guess.

TV remote, garage door opener, key-less entry for the car. Is any of the possible?
