Will HTC TV output Cable work on Incredible 2?

I'm wondering the same thing myself. This could be a deciding factor for me getting the phone. I used the TV out on my HTC Touch Pro 2 quite often for a variety of different things.
 
I answered this in the other thread about the original Incredible's tv-out cable. The short answer is no it will not. I haven't received my Inc2 yet (coming Tuesday) but if you look at the pics of both phones' usb port you will see they are VERY different.

The Inc1 has a modified micro-usb and the Inc2 has a standard micro-usb. Basically the Inc1's modified usb port will take either the modified miro-usb connector on the tv-out cable or a standard micro-usb connector found on charging and data cables. The Inc2 will ONLY take a standard micro-usb cable connector.

The only hope lies in the tv-out cable itself. On the side of the tv-out connector there is a standard micro-usb jack. It is there to allow you to be able to charge the phone while using the tv-out cable. The only way I could see the Inc1 tv-out cable working is if you could plug a micro-usb to micro-usb between the jack on the side of the tv-out cable and the jack on the phone. But I would guess the tv-out jack is there only for charging.

Below is a picture of the modified micro-usb connector on the tv-out cable.

TV-Out Cable for Inc2

Hello. I have that cable from my htc Inc & just got the inc 2 & that cable does NOT fit, The micro usb is different on both phones & will not plug into the Inc2. Any other info about tv-out on the inc2 would be great, but i dont think it's there! I called HTC & they are usually very helpful but the guy wasnt able to give me a lear answer, he just metioned it had DLNA feature which doesnt mirror the screen output like tv-out did on the inc.
