So when someone going to make a phone that has hdmi wireless mouse and keyboard ability ?
 
They already do?

Many Android phones have MHL capability and connect Bluetooth keyboards and mice. Some even support USB OTG so you can plug in the wireless dongle for RF keyboards and mice.

Can already do this with my SGS2. Using MHL to HDMI I am able to output my phone to my HDTV or my desktop monitor. Native support for bluetooth kb/mouse, but I'm told that I can use USB-host to use wired or standard wireless kb/mouse.

Most recent model Android phones support USB OTG, which as you pointed out allows using regular USB peripherals. It also allows the device to use external USB storage via a USB flashdrive, USB HDD or a USB card reader.

Good to hear. My main point was to inform the OP that a 2-year-old phone can do all that he is requesting, so it's not some feature-set that's far off into the future.
 
Symbian has been able to do this for oh, longer than Android has existed (well, maybe not the HDMI part, but there was still video out on many Nokia phones). You even get a normal mouse cursor when you connect one.

So in conclusion Symbian could not do what the op asked. Thanks for that ;)

It most certainly does. Newer phones have HDMI (with proper mirroring instead of only working in select applications at that). I was talking about the ones predating Android not having it and being limited to composite video.
