Possible to link phone to Screen?

Is it possible to link my Motorola Milestone to the TV screen? Like what you can do with your laptop to screen.

Simple answer: no.

Long one: If you want to start hacking around with USB host mode, by all means yes.

Most Nokia phones (you probably saw the N800) come with video out via the 3.5mm jack.

I think you're right Tom! Whatever phone it was they were playing SNES on the TV through it. I wanted one.

The likes of the HTC Touch Pro 2 and HD 2 can do video-out also, £20 for the cable though so I'll pass.

I have a Motorola Milestone so im HOPING, but it doesnt have a video out line only a headphone socket.

This Motorola Milestone does, it has a mini-HDMI out port as explained in the review.

However I'm assuming that's a newer version of the Milestone? The older ones don't seem to.

I don't have that port :'(
