Meh, I never really was a fan of the Lite, mainly when all the reports came in of bumpers failing and hinges flopping. Compared to the DS Phat's tank-like build quality, it seems like a setback.
Well, the Phat is ugly as hell, bulky, and pretty dim (you'll get major glare issues near almost any source of sunlight), but I do love it. Its been the only DS I've owned and currently own. Still works fine and the battery on that thing is pretty awesome.
Fake reports or from young crazy kids lol, I love the DS Lite, it's my fav in the DS line-ups, my DS phat just collects dust, poor thing, since it's battery life is like 5 hours now (bought it Dec 2004), trust me I used it like a retarded gamer, non-stop gaming of Animal Crossing...the good ol'days... (it's virtually a 3DS lol xD!), DS lite on the other hand, been 2 years or so when I got it, it's battery life is well above 24 hours, word. I use DS lite to play Pokemon White, DSi to play my downloaded DSi ware and 3DS to play SF4, so yeah....I keep switching from DS lite, to DSi to 3DS.
