i really like the idea of motorola Atrix.. would have gotten 1 but the reviews are terrible and slow or no updates. so which nexus or phone or 7 inch tablet that can easily dock to the tv's hdmi port for big screen computing?

Plenty of phones have HDMI connectivity. Combine that with a keyboard and mouse (either bluetooth or USB) and you've got yourself a mobile computer.

Galaxy Nexus can do HDMI out with $5 MHL connector. I tried it and it works fine. It's handy for travel.

My Galaxy S2 has HDMI support, and I know for a fact that the S3, Note, Note II, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 do as well. I think that if you picked one out at random from a carrier store, you're more likely to get one that supports HDMI out (often via a MHL or equivalent) than not.

Galaxy S3 needs a special MHL cable, not sure if it's just a new revision or what.

The S3 one is physically different. It won't fit non-Samsung phones from what I remember.

Yeah, it's basically just a different connector. Monoprice (of course) sells an adaptor if you have an old MHL cable.

As everyone has said, the previous Nexus (Galaxy Nexus) and the current one (Nexus 4) both connect to tv's... but if you're also considering tablets, take a long look at the Note 2.
