How big if a deal is NOT having Flash?

I guess I didn't realize iPhone doesn't support flash.....is it really that big of a deal??
Depends on who you ask. You have to answer that question for yourself. How much do you rely on Flash? Not a big deal for me. YMMV as it's one of those many highly subjective questions that people seem to treat as objective for some reason.

If they implemented flash on a phone in such a way that it actually worked instead of worked half the time, it might mean something.
It's not a implementation problem. The problem is Flash itself. For reasons already stated in this thread I tried Flash on my Droid and immediately ditched it without ever looking back. It's a resource hog even on a computer.

When I had my SGSII flash worked really well. It wasn't clunky like on older devices. But it didn't provide any specific function for me though. I haven't thought that it was a big deal. I'm very happy with the browsing experience on my iPhone.

Rarely miss it. Once in awhile it is annoying to not see a video. Most sites have adapted to not use flash video exclusively.

It's really not a big of deal to me, just as said, the majority of sites have iPhone versions, and many have their own apps, what's more now the HTML5 is popular, many website are in HTML5 version.
The flash makes annoy, always need to upgrade the plugin, I don't miss it
