Bluetooth key board and mouse support, HDMI support

[Palm_forlackofchoice]

Does windows phone 8 support the use of a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse?

Does windows phone 8 allow connections to HDMI for tv or monitor viewing?

I ask, because my wife has a Photon Q on Sprint that does both. I want to stick with Windows if possible, that is if this works and Sprint ever gets the new phones.
Thanks

It does support Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

For HDMI you'll need a DisplayPort to HDMI cable.

Thanks, I take it then that all the handsets support the cable? My wife Motorola Photon Q has a Mini HDMI port on the phone independent of the micro USB charge/sync port.

I think WinningGuy is thinking Windows 8/RT.

I don't believe I have seen any Bluetooth peripherals work on the phones, nor the hdmi output.

EDIT: this will all probably change with the Blue update

edit: nevermind, there is no file manager in WP8 to access the files ROFL

Whoops. You're right. I forgot which forum I was in.

I was referring to what you'd need with a Surface Pro.

BT keyboard protocol is NOT supported on Nokia Lumia 820. I have no information on other WP8 handsets.
