The Nintendo DS Lite Browser was co-developed by Nintendo and Opera and provides web browsing on the Nintendo DS Lite. The Opera browser software is stored on the Nintendo DS Lite cartridge, a memory expansion you can insert into the GBA slot. The browser uses both screens of the Nintendo DS Lite handheld. While the standard screen is displayed on the bottom, an expansion will be provided on the upper screen to provide a better browsing experience. Type your Web address on a keyboard display or using the DS stylus. A parent lock function is provided to disable the access to the internet for children.

I was very hopeful when I bought this for my wife. Several attempts to make it worth our time and I realize it was an unfortunate waste of money. It is slower, far slower, than any speed modem I have ever used. This includes the old 2400 baud ones. In a strange turn for Nintendo, it seems they made a piece of junk with this one.

product performs as expected. not great speed with graphics but as quick as the internet connection will allow for text. it is a pretty neat program with limitations by ds. fun rating does not apply here. this is a working browser for your ds-lite.

I am using this on a DS Lite and it works well to surf the internet. The drawbacks are that there is no option to download/save anything and some of the websites will appear as RSS feeds rather than a normal elaborate website with all of the bell and whistles.
One issue with the DS and not necessarily the browser is that it can only connect to password protected Wi-Fi networks that use a WEP key and not WPA or WPA2.

This is excellent for when I need to go wireless and don't want to carry my heavy laptop with me. I'm wondering why it's not really sold anymore, maybe because of liability? Maybe because it's as fast as a 56k? I'm used to the 56k speed though.
Just go to the mobile version of the websites. I could check my google, hotmail, ebay, wikipedia, and other simple sites easily. I could not check my facebook or other sites that use a lot of flash and java. I mean, I could, but it takes a few minutes to load.
I like how it uses both screens, and two different modes. One mode to zoom in and use both screens as one elongated screen, or zoom out and see the whole site. Again, I recommend that you use the mobile websites so you can use the zoomed in version. You can't read much when you zoom out. But the clicking of the penstick still works! There are only simple application sounds. So no youtubing or listening to pandora radio.
You just have to be near a wireless router because it's range is a room's length. I think it's cool to show off to people --> "Hey! I could access the internet with my Nintendo DS lite!".
Before I bought this, I didn't realize there are like three other different versions of DS, the original, the lite and the one with the camera. This one works for the DS-lite. You can google the image for more information.

I would love to buy this, but for some reason the current price has shot up to $75 (as of 15th Dec 08). One of the other reviewers said he paid $40 Canadian, so I wonder why are we now being ripped off? Especially given that the new DS console is about to be released, which not only has a built-in browser, but 2 digital cameras aswell!!! You would think the smart resellers would be throwing this product away for cut-price before they are stuck with something they cant shift. Makes no sense.
My advice is to wait until the new DS comes out and trade in your old one. Much cheaper in the long run than paying a fortune for this gimmick.
