    No flash support. On ICS that points to a MIPS processor. Would not recommend. They're a bit sparing with the rest if the specs too. I know it's only £50 but still...

    Probably because Flash is so intensive. It can literally grind a device to a halt.

    Without turning this into a tech debate- look at iOS. Yes, Apple want to squeeze every last penny out of you, so one reason why it is banned, the other is because they want the device to scream and run with speed. On Android, Jelly Bean doesn’t allow it.

    Not trying to sound like a prick but you can easily sideload flash on most jelly bean devices. It works perfectly on my S2 with 4.2.1.

    Edit: Meant to say earlier, lack of flash support wasn't the deal breaker, it was merely an indication of a crap processor. My 2.5 year old 800mhz single core phone can run flash fine.

    Why is it that sony phones cannot run flash? Is it not the case it is just not available for the format?

    S2 you say? 1.2GHz Dual Core with what - 1GB of RAM? you're comparing Fiat to Ferrari here...

    Whoa whoa whoa!
    I phrased it wrong, that's all. Sorry- they don't allow it by default. Of course you can side-load it and install it.
    It's not hard to install it, whatever way you do it. Bad phrasing, bad phrasing.

    Sorry if I confused anyone.
