S^3 phones such as N8/E7 can play "some" 720p mkv files you find on the internets. But it is a bit more fussy. Also, the stock media player just sucks. No resuming either! So everytime you stop it, it starts from beginning again. No seeking in set intervals, no screen locking etc. It's too basic for a video player on the go imo.

Other than not being able to play HD videos, N900 is way better still than N8/E7 as a video player on the go. (I use mplayer + sib combo)
well, you can stop it and go do something else and come back to it, aka multitasking...

and the nokia big screen app is very fun, automatically pairing with whatever wiimote happens to be around with a simplified media player interface via hdmi out

I have both and video playback for me on the n8 is much smoother that n900

and yeah, I guess I could go and buy a new TV too that supports MHL, but HDMI is here and now
