How is Ur Smartphone Experience limited if u don't have Flash or Java?

[Ro_Laren]

I'm looking at different cell phones (still) and saw one I like, but it doesn't have Java or Flash. How does that affect my "smartphone experience?" I'm more concerned with any potential affects on using the internet vs. games. Or, does it affect any Apps that I could buy?

BTW, right now I'm currently looking at the LG Optimus ME P350 'cause it's cheap!

It won't affect the apps you can buy since the apps themselves are always designed for a specific phone platform (iOS for iPhones, Android for Android phones). Do you normally play Flash/Java games on your computer? Those won't work on your phone, but then you should always assume specific games that work on your computer will not work on your phone--they're completely different platforms.

What kind of phone are you looking at? If you buy a smartphone, if it's an iPhone or an Android phone you'll have a pretty similar experience when it comes to what you can do on the Internet. They have different selections of apps/games and you should check those out before you decide on a particular phone.

I would assume smartphones with or without Flash/Java would work as well in the City of Ur as any other place.

If it's an Android phone you download and install Flash after you get the phone. It's free in the app store.

Okay, so it's an Android phone. There are plenty of games and apps available for that. I think your Web experience will be just fine on that.
