 BEWARE STORES SELLING DS LITE VERSION FOR DS December 28, 2007
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
There are web-based stores who advertise a DS Browser on their website, sell you a DS Lite version when what you ordered was a DS version, and then will not accept a return as you have opened the box to determine that the Lite version will not fit in the DS.
OK Product, if DHL ever delivers it! December 21, 2007

Pros:
-It does allow web browsing on a DS Lite
-Reasonably easy to configure
-Supports AOSS standard which simplifies connection to AOSS-capable access points (like Buffalo's models). The linking process is pretty simple with this standard.
Cons:
-Slow. Yes, really. Even with broadband, no congestion, and the AP transmit/receive settings configured they way their instructions specify. It's slow.
-Can't handle Java/Flash or other non-basic-browser apps so you can pretty much forget about those moving weather maps.
-What's up with the Gameboy memory cartridge? This comes with the browser card that plugs into the DS Lite slot and a memory module that goes in the older Gameboy slot on the front. What?!?, they couldn't fit the browser cache memory on the browser cartridge?
-Doesn't handle WPA for WiFi security. It's WEP or nothing. Nintendo apparently has no intention of adding WPA capability. My other gear uses WPA which is a more secure standard. This will leave people facing the decision to downgrade everything to WEP or use another separate WEP-endabled AP that's locked down for limited security products like this browser.
Neutral:
-Uses Opera's browser. Some might consider that a plus, some a negative, doesn't really matter to me either was as long as it works.
-I do really love my DS Lite but their browser won't be my primary browser if I'm away from a laptop.
Other Thoughts:
Ordered overnight to receive before leaving on a trip. DHL failed to deliver on the target date because the driver "couldn't find my house" even though they mysteriously found it the previous 6 times they delivered to the same address. Adding insult to injury, they subsequently forgot to put it on the truck at the depot the next day resulting in a 3 day arrival for an OVERNIGHT shipment. It would be really nice if Amazon would let customers directly choose the shipper they'd like to use on orders.
very handy December 18, 2007

it can be a bit slow, but what do you expect? it's certainly NOT a computer connection. It's very handy when you need something really quick and you don't feel like starting up your slow computer. if you disable images the website loads faster. there is no video, flash, or sounds, but it's meant to be a handy tool, not a computer replacer.
websites like myspace are slow, where as things like email, google and other search engines are pretty quick.
i definitely recommend this if you have a ds lite =)
 It's really good! December 18, 2007

Well it's good for the traveling person. But it can't play video. It takes a while to load the pictures, and you have to make sure you buy the right one if you have a regular DS. But it's truly great and I strongly recomend it.
 Disappointed December 12, 2007

In hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have ordered this. That old saying about if it sounds too good to be true. Anyway, I knew it wouldn't be blazing fast and most things wouldn't load, but I had a lot of trouble getting it to work. For some reason it wouldn't allow me to access my work email, which is primarily why I wanted to get it. It was quite slow and I never had much success in accessing anything. Even just straight email. So I wouldn't really recommend it.
