Is it a standard HDMI Port or does it need an adaptor like the nokia n8?

It's a mini hdmi port so you'll need an adapter. You can get them for next to nothing from monoprice.com.
Also, you dont really need an adapter...monoprice has the mini to full cables for like $2.

Even better I'll pickup one of those instead.

Awesome!! Thanks.
Are you sure it's mini-HDMI (type C), and not micro-HDMI (type D)? That's what's been coming out on phones lately. Type C would be quite large for a phone.
Not 100%, but the droid X does have type D. So, try this for $7 and free shipping. Ive bought from them as well.

They also have the Micro Type D at Monoprice for cheaper. They're from $3-$8 depending on shipping.

Since when did HDMI cables become so cheap?! I haven't bought one in five years, but an eight foot cable was serious money... I think in the range of like $50 - $90, no joke, and I'm leaning towards 90. I actually bought my HDMI cable used because it saved me like twenty bucks.
Admittedly, I bought it at (Not)Best Buy, but still it wasn't even a name brand Monster cable with cold tips and all that, just a regular old HDMI cable.
Anyway, very cool. Anyone think Moto might throw one in the box? They are going to try to get everyone to buy the docks, so I guess they definitely don't want people just plugging it into their TV and realizing they don't really need the HD dock, so I guess that's extremely unlikely. Still, I don't wanna buy it if it's included. Did the Droid X or 2 come with one?

No, the other Motos did not come with them. They won't be handing them out. But, they've been cheap for a couple years now.

Yeah they've been cheap for awhile as long as you don't go to some place like Best Buy and let them rape you on the price. Monoprice is a great site for cables.
Yea when I got my HDTV, home theatre setup in 2008, I learned about getting an HDMI cable from Best Buy vs. Monoprice, certain ones from Amazon, Blue Jeans Cable, etc.
I got 6 HDMI cables from Amazon and the total was $51. (five 3ft, one 6ft) I shoulda went with Monoprice but I ordered so much stuff at one time from Amazon I just got them from there.
