What I want to know is if the firmware has an English setting so I can get it at launch...

Same here, I'm hoping it does as I would really like a replacement for my current DS, and seeing as November isn't that far off..

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl (and probably Platinum) look for a Pokemon GBA card in slot 2 late in the game.
Certain Pokemon can only be caught if the correct GBA card is found in slot 2.
Other Pokemon may be transferred from Slot 2 GBA Games to Slot 1 DS games.
Conclusion: DSi is not Pokemon compatible! The DSi cannot replace the DS.

If it is not EDGE compatible, N can kiss my A!

----The point!-----

The one outside is made fro picture taking purposes.
The one inside is made for gmaing use as you cant use the outside one as, you wont konw whats going on in the game!

So do you guys understand know?

Thanks,

My limited Japanese translation of the official Nintento site says it has picture chat, the DS shop and something called "download play" (i assume like the free demos at game stores?). It also says you can use pay or non pay wireless LAN. Not sure why they want to specify that but they do. I couldn't find any mention of an FM radio. Two cameras, one inside (by the mic) one out, and an sd memory card slot. It also has a music player and internal memory for downloaded software.

From what I can tell the SD slot can be used to store music files (MP3?) and you can use the system as a portable music player! Thats where the radio confusion came from.

You should look at this.

Probably mid 2009 is when most people will get it. New homebrew options with the new DS.

Opera is a fine browser Sarvesh50.

And VISHI SO FISHI I understood a while ago

Opera or Firefox doesn't really matter, as it's a completely other browser then the one from the PC's anyway.
Besides that, Firefox isn't better than Opera as a PC browser as well. It's mostly a matter of preference, Firefox is just way more overhyped with all the fanboys loving the new features which Opera already had way before Firefox...
Anyways, it's probably gonna look somewhat like it, but not having to have 2 cartridges to use it is a pro anyway. And I hope it's a bit more speedy because it doesn't need to read RAM from a GBA cart, but will use upgraded internal RAM.

No GBA Slot = Not moving up to it.

I have no reason to have 2 DS models at the same time and I want GBA so easy choice for me.
