But Im curious does it support flash.
Ive read enough to see that the processor is to old to support flash. But if you download skyfire can you see videos on the internet?
Because it doesn't support flash there must be some games that dont work with it right?
Thanks

you've read wrong. The optimus is running a late model processor. It may look slow on paper, but it's quandrant scores are on par with last gen's faster phones.
it plays angry birds, fruit ninja, ect. I'm in front of a pc all day due to my profession, and lazydroid is a godsend. love it. Looks like netflix is working on it as well. It has a pretty good community over androidcentral.com.
Here is a more thorough look at the speed of the optimus:
Analysis of Qualcomm MSM7x27 (MSM7227 MSM7627) and MSM7x25 (MSM7225 MSM7625) processors - how good are they? - Smartphone Benchmarks (SmartBench 2010/Quadrant) Forum
as for flash with skyfire, it works great.
the multimedia on that phone is not my cup of tea(tablet is for multimedia), but if you want a small phone, with great battery life, and very satisfactory performance, I can easily recommend the optimus S. I understand that a lot of people need a monsterous phone with monsterous specs, but if you dont care for that, and just care about a highly functional phone with the best app market in town and most flexibility, I'de go with the optimus S.
it cant compete with the latest or greatest, but that doesnt make it any less functional. I like to compare it to the iphone 3gs. People have been flocking to the iphone 4, at the same time, it doesnt mean the 3gs is a crappy phone. it's still a fantastic phone, and can do most of what the iphone 4 does.
