Diamond and Flash Video

ApexStang · #1 (**permalink**) 11-19-2008, 09:21 PM

Can anyone tell me if the Diamond will play Flash Video's? I'm considering a purchase of either the Diamond or the IPhone 3G.

I know the Iphone does not play Flash, so does the Diamond.

I am a Browns Fan and I would like to be able to view the press conferences and other media that the www.clevelandbrowns.com offers via their website.

Can someone with a Diamond give it a shot and see if it works?

Be sure to tell me if it required a Modification of your phone to get it to work. Thanks.

All these flash questions today. LOL.
I have a Touch Pro and I went to that site with Skyfire and I watched a interview with Brady Quinn and it worked fine!

What is skyfire? Is it a a file you had to download, or was the Diamond capable of running it right out of the box? Honestly, I think this little difference is going to make my decision as to which phone I get LOL!

skyfire is a mobile web browser. It is very good and allows for full flash video playback. www.skyfire.com to register and it's free. **one thing to note is skyfire has not yet released a vga quality beta yet but the qvga does work on the diamond. you can do searches in this forum to learn more about it. The major advantage of the Diamond over the iphone is you have access to multiple web browser, hundreds of free apps, and real exchange outlook synching capability. i would definitely go with the diamond. hope this helped.

I noticed most of you guys are on Sprint. Do you think the Alltel version has all of these functions? Thanks for all the replies. You guys have been very helpful.

Opera and skyfire are extra software so they should work no problem.
