There are no plans by either side to support flash in Opera.

Your alternative (if your phone supports it) is to use Skyfire browser for flash sites (For other uses Skyfire is very limited indeed).

skyfire is very very slow, alternately you can use the nokia browser, the flash player is very fast, f.e. in youtube.

Yes, but I don't get it how come Nokia and Skyfire supports flash and Opera doesn't? Opera is claimed to be the best mobile browser, than again you obviously need second browser aside opera to view flash. That is, like, insane...

Skyfire doesn't support Flash directly. A server converts Flash video to a different format. The Nokia browser supports Flash because it was built in. That doesn't mean there's a general plugin available to any browser. Flash doesn't work well on mobile phones anyway. Not until you have 1-2 GHz CPUs or more anyway. And certainly not on Symbian.

It's limited though - it won't support things like BBC live streaming in UK. Not on 5800 anyway. And other sites needing flash sometimes work and sometimes don't, depending on the exact format. Skyfire, for all its limitations does'em all.

Which is the best for flash content? i try Skyfire in my N95-1, very laggy. video is small. Bolt is a compromised way for bigger video, but crash my phone a lot. any suggestion? pls help.
