Yes and no: Flash Lite has existed there in the firmware for ages, but nobody is using it. It also cannot be utilized from the browser.

Going all philosophical: If a software has zero users, does it still exist?

EDIT: My view may be dated. I haven't checked what Nokia is offering through the ovi-system these days, could be that Flash Lite is actually somewhat widely used nowadays.

Also: Flash Lite has existed also in Nokia Series 40 models ("standard phones", not smart phones) since 2007 or so...



I've just used Flash on my Nokia smart phone to view a flash-only website. Works out of the box.


Really, cool! What phone, what site? Gotta try it myself, I am supposed to know this stuff. :)


It's a Nokia E72. The website was http://www.gerlinea.fr/. :)


Thanks! I stand corrected. On my 6110 Navigator (S60 3rd ed feature pack 1) I get the "broken image icon", and clicking on it the phone tries to open it with it's FlashLite player and gives "Flash 8 not supported error".

But as you said, works fine on E72, which is S60 3rd ed feature pack 2. I'm impressed!
