Sidhartha wrote that FlashLite 2.1 is now available for free download for both Symbian & Windows Mobile (Mobile Version). As I didn't want to spend 8 dollars on the Flash Lite player earlier (and don't get me wrong, not because of spending the 8 dollars, but for going through the whole payment process), and there wasn't any compelling content which made me choose otherwise, I waited till now. So after reading the above post, I finally started to download the Flash Lite player on my phone. It was still not easy though or to be honest it sucked big time.

First you still have to fill out several pages and to give out a maximum of personal data.

And when you finally want to download the Flash Lite Player to your Symbian phone (in my case a 6670), you are asked the following options:

• Flash Lite 2.1 Standalone Player for Symbian S60 V3.0
• Flash Lite 2.1 Standalone Player for Symbian S60 V2.0 FP2
• Flash Lite 2.1 Standalone Player for Symbian S60 V2.0 FP3

How the hell should I know? Wouldn't it be nice, if I could pick my phone and then get the right Flash Lite Player accordingly?
Finally I guessed the answer - S60 V2.0 FP2 - with the help of Forum Nokia.

But now I have my SIS file on my Mac and I want to transfer it to my blog so that I can download it via mobile (as I am quicker this way than by synching, even if this costs me something for the mobile data transfer). If Adobe would provide me a mobile link from the start, this wouldn't be necessary either.

Anyways, I finally have an installed and working Flash Lite Player on my 6670. Now I only need content. I searched a little bit, but if you have any good ideas what to download, let me know.

PS: Searching for compelling Flash Lite content right now (I am still searching...), I found the S60 "reference web*" site. The Now-New-Near* s60 site can be found here:
