This thing won't break any internet speed records and I doubt it would be very good for graphics-heavy web-pages, but for a simple and easily portable way to check your email on-the-go, this works great! The hand-writing recognition ability of the DS makes inputting data easy and navigating on the Opera Suite is so intuitive that you could get by easily without even reading the manual. For those times when you don't want to lug around your laptop or pay to use a public terminal, this thing is awesome! It does have it's limitations, but they are easy to overlook when you consider that spending a little bit of money makes your DS that much more useful! And, if you have an internet-hog in your home, this is a good and cheap way to overcome that problem!
I have mixed feelings about this product. I have a laptop at home with wireless connection with no problems. The Ds browser picks up the wireless signal, but I usually get a "disconnected" message before the page finishes loading. So everytime I go on a new page or do anything, it has to search for the signal again, only to lose it within seconds. That's even with me inches away from my wireless router. However, the pages that do load look pretty good with nice graphics. The graphics 97% of the time dont load for me. I was able to check my emails and go on a few forums and post there. I however could not sign on to ebay. It just will not allow me no matter what. You also can not see videos or hear any sound. I already knew that before I bought it. For parents concerned abut security, you can put a filter on it for children so they will not be able to view questionable sites. It filters about 60 million sites and instructions to do this will come with the browser. You can also make it password protected so your child can not use it without you knowing. If you are sick of using the keyboard, you can write letters in with your stylus when putting in a url! I thought that was quite neat. You can disable pictures so pages will load faster. Some people think the pages load too slow but it's not THAT slow. Most pages for me loaded within 30-60 seconds...that is when I could get a full signal. It could be worse and if you've ever had dial up then you know what I mean. Overall, it's not bad, but needs some work. I am mostly concerned with being able to connect to the internet in certain hotspots. What good is this if you are going to have issues picking up signals and whatnot? You just have no idea when and where it will work and when it won't..especially if certain hotspots have high security on their browsers...the DS defintely won't pick the signal up.Read full review
When I received the Nintendo DS Browser for the Nintendo DS Lite, I was rather skeptical about a browser being able to run on Nintendo's more budget oriented DS portable. After unpacking the browser which be warned takes up BOTH your Nintendo DS Lite slots, (cartridge and gameboy advance port) this is due to the fact the Nintendo DS Lite does not have the memory necessary to facilitate a browser. Setup is rather easy and straightforward on the Nintendo DS Lite, but since this browser was issued in 2007, it does not support the more current WPA-PSK security protocols, it only supports the 10 key enabled WEP protocol, so if your router does not support WEP, then you might as well pack it in at this point. That alone is rather discouraging considering any good browser should have the ability to be upgraded to current security standards. The Opera derived browsing system of this version is not able to be upgraded, and leaves the user wondering why bother to install a browser in this system at all? (an afterthought perhaps Nintendo?) In its defense, Nintendo does include a rather feature rich browser with the use of its touchpad keyboard (a bit cranky with some characters) and common endings like .com .gov .net so it makes using a URL a bit easier. Its graphics display is rather limited, but does make some browsing and web based email available where none would have been available before. Also it allows for switching between screens to get the best view of a webpage and touch control to scroll. But this is where this browser truly fails! Alright you install a browser for the Nintendo DS Lite, but due to the fact both ports are used to run the browser, you would never be able to download games, or video, or any content from the Nintendo DS Store, so what really is the functionality of this browser? With the exception of maybe simple net surfing, or maybe checking your email, there is absolutely no reason to own this browser. You would be better served by either upgrading to the Nintendo DSi XL or even the 3DSi, either of which offer you the opportunity to download content and games through their store and even Netflix can be watched through the Nintendo 3DSi. So in closing, save your money. This dog of a browser is not only extremely outdated, but makes you wonder why did Big N even think about putting a browser on this machine? It is entirely useless for downloading content off the net and it also takes up all your cartridge space available on your DS Lite. The Nintendo DS-Lite is great for the player who wants DS games and to be able to play Gameboy Advance games, but if your looking for online downloads or even watching Netflix, this system is not up to the task, and this browser certainly could have been designed better, say intergrating the memory and program into a single cartrige for the Gameboy Advance slot. The Nintendo DS-Lite is a great system for a great price, but putting the Opera derived Nintendo DS-Lite browser is akin to putting a 12 cylinder in a Corvette, unnecessary and actually would probably just drag down the performance and add weight and lower mileage. Just avoid this dog and either upgrade, or use your browser on your PC.Read full review
Good basic browser. Run by Opera. Good for viewing simple pages. Gmail works perfect! Some pages that did not work: Youtube, Grooveshark, Google voice. The nintendo website says: "Important Notes on compatibility The Nintendo DS Browser supports http and https. It is not compatible with other types of protocols, such as ftp, mailto, etc. The Nintendo DS Browser supports Javascript, as well as many image types such as GIF, PNG, JPEG, BMP, and ICO. The Nintendo DS Browser does not support Flash, animations, sound, video, PDFs, or any other files or programs that require a separate plug in, such as Java. All types of video playback, such as QuickTime (.avi) and Windows Media Video (.wmv) are not compatible with the Nintendo DS Browser and will not play." So good if you want to just google something real fast or you want to check your emails!Read full review
People that buy this product should know its limitations before purchase. I think everyone going into this knows the screen is small, there will be no sound or video play, websites with lots of images will be slow to view if not impossible, download times and refresh rates are much slower than traditional computers because of the processor, free "hotspots" are not as common as some people think. Ok, now that that is out of the way, let's review the product. It does what it says it will do!! It's a limited browser that allows you to access the web for certain tasks when other, more robust, access options aren't available. For $30 that's a reasonable web access alternative. As more "hotspots" become available, this product makes sense. The sheer number of DS Lites out there combined with free "hotspots" makes for instant web satisfaction. If you already have a cellphone, pda, or other mobile web access alternative, then this product will not overly impress you.Read full review
At first, I decided to buy it because I thought it'd be nice to be able to use internet everyone. The thing I forgot is that my DS can't connect to my home internet so I only used i briefly at this cafe and I'll admit that it is "The internet on the go" but what I found most difficult was typing. I mean maybe it was because I wasn't used to the tiny keyboard but I also did the handwriting feature and it didn't always get what I want and I have to change back and forth between numbers/symbols and letters so I found it harder to try and type in my password but overall, good if you REALLY need internet and you have this. Wouldn't recommend buying it for more than 30$ though.
When I heard there was a web browser for the DS, I thought I had to try it and see what it was like. Overall, it met my expectations for what I thought it would be. It's easiest to sum it up in Pros and Cons. Pros being if you have your DS on you all the time, and are are wifi hotspots, it could be useful if you have something you want to check out on the web. Then again, cell phones cover this these days, however there's usually a charge to it? Cons being it's a tad slow (I wasn't surprised) and some websites will not work (the new yahoo mail interface for example). However, if you have a little patience and know some older websites you like looking at for tidbits of information, it should suffice. All in all, don't expect it to function like a full size laptop or PC connected to the internet, and don't expect it to work lightening fast. And don't expect to use it to write your blogs, a lenghthy email or post to a website. I believe it's main purpose is to check something out and move on. It's kind of one of those deals where if you have a DS already and want to see what you can do with it, this would be something to play with.Read full review
Don't expect laptop or pc speeds and functionality then you will be happy. This is more for viewing web pages designed for mobile apps and maybe checking web based email. Does not support flash so no You Tube or mini games. Cannot upload or download. It is fun to tool around with and I gave it a good rating for its novelty and for the funtionality they did manage to sqeeeze out of a limited platform. I also think it neat to be able to access wireless hot spots with my DS
I think it is kinda fun for about 5 minutes, my child enjoys using it to read about game cheats, it does not allow me to open my yahoo mail and it dose not support flash nor audio so it is limited but one must remember it is not a computer, it is a toy. I purchased it for to sole purpose of allowing my child wifi internet from any room in the house to read game cheats and it performs that and more, but not much, it is a good start for nintendo and I see more and better things in the near future coming from them. I had some trouble with the wifi set up on the DS but my 8 year old figured it out in 10 minutes, it also has phone and internet support to help with set up and other questions one might have. The Opera browser offers many features for viewing web sites to decrease download time you can turn off the web graphics and go to a text mode and other ways to see web pages for either viewing pictures or blogging the duel screen display is nifty and the touch sceen is like having a mouse. If you do your research and find out it's limits, it is worth the money.Read full review
Anyone who owned a Nintendo DS at one time or another dreamt of the possibility of using the handheld system to log onto the Internet and surf the World Wide Web. After all, it's portable, it has Wi-Fi capabilities, and it has a touch screen, which makes both navigating links and typing out URLs, usernames and passwords a snap. Well here it is! This is a must have for anyone who has a nintendo ds lite system. I purchased the Nintendo DS browser about a week ago and have been using it ever since. I have tried many websites on it and I think it’s great. Along the bottom of the screen are all of the buttons you need for the browser. The simple back and forward buttons along with the stop/reload button. A button to show your history, a URL button, Favorites, Find, Settings, Help, SSR/Overview Mode, Load Images, Zoom, and Jump. The history feature will only show the most recent 5 or so pages when you click on it. I do recommend the browser for anyone that owns a ds or ds lite system (=^_^=)Read full review
