Shack Hands-On: Navy DS Lite

So, you may have seen a couple hands-on impressions of DS Lite around the web, but have you seen any of the Enamel Navy version? Eh? I thought not. Well, that's about to change. Courtesy of the UPS guy, here's our in depth look at the Enamel Navy DS Lite. In case you were wondering, yeah, it's a lot better than the original device.
Upon first handling the unit, it's somewhat surprising how much smaller it feels than its first generation counterpart. On paper, the size and weight reductions do not seem particularly huge, but coupled with the significant design improvements they make a big difference. The angled look is gone; all the machine's lines are clean and concise.

In functional terms, the biggest improvement is with those two screens. There really isn't much point trying to describe how much brighter they are, you'll just have to check out the comparison shots. I remember being happy with the frontlit Game Boy Advance SP when it replaced the frustratingly unlit original GBA. Then the DS came out with significantly brighter screens than the SP. I never noticed any big deficiencies with those until I got my Lite. This thing has four brightness settings, and even the dimmest one is noticeably brighter than the regular DS screens.
