While I can appreciate both sides of the coin here, I don't know I understand what all of the fuss is. If you don't want it, don't install it. For those of us who are used to blocking, disabling and even avoiding websites utilizing technologies and languages we dislike can continue to do so. Nothing to see here.

But really, the IT needs to support as much as possible. The reason I got my N810 was BECAUSE it supported Flash better than most hand held devices in addition to all of the other wonderful stuff I wanted it to do. By making this and future Nokia IT devices more popular, your development efforts will actually be put to a wider spread usage. Nokia will keep putting them out. and some of you can continue to NOT use things like Flash or Silverlight.

Doesn't everyone win here?

BTW, for those of you who vaguely remember where I work, Adobe came in and you can tell they are sharting themselves over Silverlight. Their next incarnation of streaming will include the ability to gracefully change bitrates on the fly, much like Move Networks flash playback mashup.
