I got mine today.  Why anyone would choose a micro over this thing is beyond me.

Did you not see the pic I posted?

The new SP screen is much brighter and clearer.

At the time, it was the absolute best thing available.  A color screen, lighted, with an 18 hour battery life.

The true backlight kicked that back to 10-13 hours.

So how does a "fake" backlight work?

I only have a DS, which is nice.

it wasn't a backlight.  It was lighted from the sides, which is why the picture looked so washed out.

The new SP screen looks way better than the DS screens....which is kind of dissapointing.
