The long and short of it on whether or not the LG Optimus V has flash is a capital NO!

The LG Optimus V does not have flash and will not have flash in the future unless flash itself somehow becomes less processor intensive.

This is unlikely. It has to do with hardware (the physical parts of the phone) and not with software (apps, etc).

There is a work around that works for lots of flash video – Read on Newbies, read on!

There are a few ways around this issue, however. If you really want to watch a video or two online that are in flash. Try Skyfire internet browser. Skyfire routes a flash video through their servers and then send it back to your phone in a way that your phone can handle. It works on sites like SouthParkStudios.com where you can watch all but the most recent seasons and episodes of Southpark legally!

It will not work with Hulu or with Netflix – so do not expect miracles here, but Skyfire will open new doors to video content on the LG Optimus V.
