In europe people mostly buy the phone they like and so it is easier to get the latest technology. Flash Lite technology has proven to be a great mobile tecnology in Japan and we will see the wave first in Erurope and then in US. If you are looking for Flash Lite content you should check the Flash Lite exchange on adobe site. Also there are other Flash Lite enabled phones coming out soon. All Symbian 9.1 mobile phones will have Flash Lite. Alessandro Ciao,

I know there have been several phones out with Flash Lite already here in the UK in the form of Sony Ericssons, and there a few Nokias that are literally on the cusp of being released, notably the N91 which is just about to come out on all the major networks, then a little later the mass market 6125: http://press.nokia.com/PR/200601/1029955_5.html All of the clues point to the current generation of Nokias (the largest mobile phone manufacturer on the planet) including Flash Lite with all future handsets, in particular it has made it into the latest revision of their OS as a core feature. Not to mention Motorola recently joining the bandwagon which I would assume will help things in the US with it being the major player in that market. It's just a matter of a little more time but people are getting very annoyed by just how much :) I understand the frustration; this comment from Adobe’s JD sums it up pretty well:
