so how do i get flash to work on the pro? i tried the new opera mobile beta that is supposed to have it, but a not said that it is a known issue and flash will not work. is there a plugin or something i can use to make flash work with either PIE or Opera mobile? i aslo tried that other browser that bbegins with an S(can't remember the name) but didn't like it at all. oh, and sorry if it has been posted, i don't see a search button on the mobile version of the site.

skyfire is what you are thinking of. what sites are you looking at needing flash for?skyfire works great for hulu.w.v.d. works great for youtube. (and others) i prefer it over the youtube viewer built into the phone.i also use the rss reader for other video that i am interested in watching.i would suggest looking at skyfire again (since they have updated.) as well as using w.v.d.johnboyinfl

Do people actually prefer Skyfire for general browsing? I can't stand it. It doesn't automatically rotate, the zooming and scrolling is in the stone age, and WHY is the font so ugly? Actually I know why the font is ugly...because it's a QVGA app stretched to VGA. But hey, if you need something server-side-rendered, Skyfire is your best bet, obviously...
Opera may be a little slow to start up sometimes, but man it is WAY more sophisticated, especially after you realize the web page is rendering on the phone.

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that SkyFire says it's going to monitor your web usage? I wanted to try using it for Grand Central, but didn't like the idea of using a non-private browser to make my phone calls...

I can't stand it either. I do use it occasionally when I absolutely HAVE to have flash, but I use Opera Mini 99% of the time.........

If OperaMini supported flash I would uninstall Skyfire & say good riddance.....
