Many people like myself appreciate many pictures, so I tried to take as many as possible.
My hand isn't very stable so if the pictures are a bit blurry, I apologize for that.

When getting the DS Lite I realized that the box was 'nano-size' and had a smooth matt texture (as opposed to the DS's glossy texture).

Opening it up showed me that I now had to be just as carefull with my DS as I was with my PSP.

Unusually, it didn't attact fingerprints as easily as the PSP. Perhaps it was because my fingers weren't that oily or I hadn't touched it for so long.

The buttons felt rubbery, although they were solid, it was indeed a marvelous site.

Switching it on showed me that the screen was indeed bright. It made me worry about battery life, but we'll see about that after I get to play with it a bit more.

I placed the screen protectors on and bought a leather case with it, which i think looks great.

The sound quality sounds more crisp and clearer. The 'tick tock' of the clock was very clear.
As I moved to the volume slider, I noticed it was too loose. I'm unsure if it's just mine, but it seemed to rattle slightly, which disappointed me a bit.

The LED indicators are a lovely and even hugh.

It is indeed a great peice of work and I'm sure I'll be enjoying it alot.

That was basically my small summary.
Below you will find pictures, and a few size comparison pics.

Enjoy! ^_^

it's my curse.
And I'm broke now, so I either money has to come my way or I'll have to sell some stuff.
(not the psp or lite though )

it's 33% smaller than the normal DS.

yes I do like white gadgets,
I also like chrome but scratches show easily.

If things are white, scratches and fingerprints dont show.

Gave me a 10% discount as well

When are you going to get a white cover for the 8800? It looks out of place against all your white gadgets.

I bought the DS Lite for 100 pounds including delivery, screen protector, white leather case, and they gave me a discount coupon, strap, and mouse pad for free which was nice.

As for the 8800, if it came in glossy white I would take it in a heart beat
I'd be using the W900 if it had a better camera, and was slimmer.
