Is it worth getting a DS internet browser?

[ChirpyKez]

I have had my DS for a few months and am wondering whether or not to buy the internet browser for it? Is it any good? Also, I have Sky Broadband and have tried a few times to connect using that with some of the internet compatible games I have {are you with me?} to play multi-player etc or chat in the 'chat rooms' but it wont do anything?
Any advice anyone?
Many thanks

DS Browser is good considering the hardware limitations on the DS. I have the DS with browser and PSP with browser and the DS browser is better. You can enter text much easier on the DS. All in all the DS browser is more flexible and quicker easier to use (there are more options) than the PSP browser.

The load times arn't as fast as a PC. But then again you wouldn't expect them to be. Hotmail works. Google works.

Final word: It's good for what it is. One of the better browsers for a semi portable device (Wireless does not mean any place)

How do you type?

is it compatible with all types of Broadband connection then as I'm sure I read somewhere that you must check first so how would I know it would work?

"How do you type?"

On the DS you use the touch screen like a keyboard. Typing 10x easier than on the PSP.

"...Broadband Connection..."

I use a Netgear 5in1 Broadband + wireless router. I have had no problems getting connected. I use WEP encription and MAC code authorising and have had no problem at all.

If you have tried playing games over the NET on your DS and got that working (Tetris, MarioKart) then the browser will also work.
