Heh... I remember that. And THAT, my friend, is NOT a web page. You might as well compare sites that rely on Flash with old-school AOL service or Prodigy. You needed to use THEIR client to log in and see THEIR content on THEIR network. Flash is a little less exclusive than that, but it's not a far walk away from an Adobe owned "web" without the open and competitive standards. What kind of idiot communications hardware company creates their entire website in a non-standards based pure plug-in way? Nokia. They're all about the "open"... or some junk. :P
