Looking in settings on this phone, there is an option for "LED Indicator"... Perhaps it does have one. :) Lets hope it does. Nexus does but SGS2 doesn't. :(

It doesn't say it's not compatible though. The official ICS GS2 ROM doesn't have Adobe Flash but you can download it from the Play store - I assume it will be the same with the S3

Yea, if it's not compatible then... fudge that. Use Flash all time, pretty much every day. It probably will have it.
