I plan to market the 360 panorama to clients & want them to see on smartphone, after all that's the future.
What all phones are using or what is best in terms of display quality & flash ready browser which can do smooth zoom in/out with finger & right click menu on browsers if possible.
Iphone does not support flash so I am looking at samsung, htc & motorola. Any other brands you would suggest?

Sorry but you have to zoom with a zoom button. You also need a large fullscreen button which easy can be used on a small screen.
Even if Android supports pinch zooming Flash does not do it.
The first 10 panoramas at panoramas.dk are now optimized for both iPad, iPhones and Android and I can easy se also the largest panoramas on my HTC Desire Z.
If they are made in KRPano multi tiling you can see gigapixel panoramas on Android. I just stitched one for a client which is 5 gigapixel and it is optimized with buttons so that you can easy zoom even on an Android smartphone.

Oh so its the flash limitation which is limiting the zoom, I didn't know that.
On viewing the krpano panoramas how do you right click to get the context menu?
Hans how good is the battery life with HTC Desire Z since you have been using you may have better experience.

You can not rightclick on it. I know no way to see the context menu.
There is a fullscreen option coming up by using a long push on it but it does not give you full window fullscreen so thats why you need your own fullscreen button.
Battery live is highly depending on using the GPS satellite navigation. With that on it only lasts 12 hours even without using it for anything.
It took a couple of days before I found out about this and I was close to return it.
After turning off satellite so you just use your wifi or 3G for placement it can run up to 2 days with some use for browsing internet.

It's not really flash limitation, it's the device. The touchscreen and applications that control it are quite basic and they can't differentiate the active area of Flash content from phone's specific interaction behavior, unable to isolate the interaction between Flash and phone.
Take iPhone for example. With finger slide across the screen, you move images left to right, pages previous to next or scroll them. So instead of rotating your pano, you would move the pano as a whole file or scroll of off screen. They are not able to suppress the specific phone interaction method within the boundaries of Flash content to allow you to interact with flash as it was programmed to behave, hence many of them rather supply inferior quality device and exclude Flash support, than provide better touchscreen and software solution.
That is why on Jailbreak phone you can watch Flash but the moment you try to interact with it, it gets all messy and confused between Touch Screen and Flash behaviors.
