Erm...i've had it and I hated it. I had it for a week and took it back to EB under the 7 day return policy. I know it's an alternative for web browsing so it's not supposed to have all the bits and pieces a computer does but yeah...I'm not a fan.

You can't view flash or java of course...I didn't have it long enough to work out anything else.

I just went to a couple of my usual websites..a couple of forums I mod. I wasn't on this site at the time so I have no idea how it looks in the browser.

I've been tempted to by one of these browsers too, just for those times when I've had my laptop hijacked, but I have herd that there is some speed issues with some sites.

desi says:

Yes, there are speed issues with all sites because of the memory limitations of the DS.

Guyver says:

Does anyone know if there are any after market solutions to solve the speed issues, something like a bigger memory expansion?

Amebr says:

I've had it since Feb. I wouldn't use it as my main browser, but to quickly check webmail, or stuff like that on holidays, it's okay.

Although I'd write down a list of free wi-fi hotspots before I go, next time (and not so much use in country Aus...)

Hesponator says:

yeh im just gonna use for casual forum, email and msn checks when im bored and stuff. And when i go on holidays i will use at airports.

Amebr says:

turn off images, too. It helps with responsiveness. most email and forums should be fine with it off and you can turn it on temporarily if you want to.

Hesponator says:

yeh ok thanks...do u know how to get onto hotmail?

just www.hotmail.com?

Amebr says:

Should be. It just takes normal web addresses. I assume ones designed for mobiles would load quicker, but I don't know any of those, and I haven't bothered looking.

06/11/2007 Melbourne

Hesponator says:

ok lol what ever. i heard you can go on msn so i was just wandering.

06/11/2007 MKDS, CHG, MPH, ACWW, THDJ. Tasmania

Amebr says:

well, I just logged into hotmail successfully...

06/11/2007 Melbourne

Hesponator says:

really? www.hotmail.com thats awesome.

try these sites
www1.messengerfx.com/

and

www.wiitoob.com/

tell me how you go!

Amebr says:

If you mean the messenger bit, then that needs Flash, which as far as I know, the DS browser doesn't support.

Hesponator says:  

yeh i know it doesnt but just try these sites for fun.

Bennyboy says:

The web browser is ok but it is not known to be reliable on.I would'nt buy one because of the lack of things it can do.
Just use the browser on your wii if you have one.
