Some people have a DSi like myself and some people unfotunately don't...Do you have a DSi yet? Plannning to get one? If you don't have one...why don't you? Please keep strong language off this forum...
I have DSi and it's great. I have so far downloaded WarioWare and Birds and Beans so far and am having a blast. I plan on downloading Paper Airplane Chase and Mighty Flip Champs when they are released. I am currently looking into Mixed Messages as I haven't been around too many family and friends lately (well, family that doesn't mind playing DS). It's cool since I can have many gaming apps on the go and only one cartridge in the system. This makes for very convinient fun as I don't have to carry a case full of my favorite games all the time.
Yes, and I'm a big fan of the music player, drumming over my songs.
By the way, you can actually turn it into a much more comprehensive drum simulator if you use the recording mode. Simply record some drum sound (from Wii Music, a real set, or just you smacking a table with a hard object, if need be) and then edit the sound using the A->B truncation so that the actual impact is right at the first instant of the clip, then you can pull up the list of your sound recordings during your music and tap them to play your beats, giving you much more freedom than the shoulder buttons which only keep 2 different sounds at a time. I'm filling my 18 recording slots up with different sounds (light cymbal, crash cymbal, couple of snares, bass drums, etc), and it's pretty damn cool if you take the time to set it up. I just wish you could import and export sound clips to your SD card.

No I do not have a DSi yet. I'm hoping to get one maybe around Christmas, a Black DSi. A couple of my friends have one. One bought it himself, a Blue one due to the store being out of the Black DSi's. Another one of my friends got a Black one, but kept saying he hated the thing and traded it in to buy a PSP. I think that was a Jack**s move he did. But I hope to get one for all of its unique features such as sound recording and listening, the cameras, and downloadable games.
I traded in my Lite yesterday for a blue one and I LOVE IT! Already wore the battery down, only on medium brightness too. I just can't leave it alone! Can't wait for more downloadable games...hurry up Nintendo!
Yes,I have a blue DSi,and I like the DSi because it has a much higher quality look on the screens. I haven't connected my DSi online yet. But,I'm not in a hurry. The longer I wait,the more DSiware games will come out!
My wife surprised me with a black DSi over the weekend. This is my first DS, so to me everything is new. I currently have Polarium and Kirby Super Star Ultra, both of which are excellent games. The DSiShop is a bit spartan at the moment, but I expect that to change.
Birds and Beans is fun. My kids constantly want to play it. WarioWare Snapped is so-so. When it works, it's pretty cool. Especially when it shows you the photos at the end where it looks like you're whipping around on a roller-coaster! Unfortunately, it fails with alarming regularity. Lighting doesn't appear to be the issue as much as contrast. The walls in my house are yellow and beige colors, so I'd imagine it can't differentiate skin tones very well. I'm not certain, but I also think it doesn't like my beard.
The camera and microphone on this beastie are excellent. I've gotten some excellent snaps with the cameras. It's also tons of fun to do silly "lenses" with the kids. The microphone appears to have no trouble picking up sound in front of it. The sound is clear and artifact-free. Again, the kids love the filters you can apply to sounds.
For me, the crown jewel is the Opera browser. It works surprisingly well. I was at Starbucks on Sunday with nothing but my DSi in hand. I had no trouble connecting to the Starbucks Wifi and visiting my favorite sites. I was able to view NintendoLife and even post a few messages. The on-screen keyboard is a bit slow, but definitely better than the Wii. Scrolling can also be painful on a complex site like NintendoLife (you have to wait for the chunk of page to render), but it improves markedly on simpler sites. It was kind of cool to be testing ShoutBox! from the DSi, then to surf to the site control panel and make the new version of DSiCade live. All from this tiny little handheld.

I got a DSi on release, but then I didn't have any of the earlier versions. (last hand-held I had was a Gameboy colour!!) I was going to buy a DS back last autumn, but since I heard the DSi was coming out, I held out for it. Now I'm glad I did. The features on here that are new are actually quite cool, though like most people I thought they'd be a waste of space. Plus I can go online with WPA encryption ... something I'd never had done if I could only use WEP. So, to me, waiting and paying extra for the DSi was well worth it.

I don't have a DSi because i think Nintendo will make a new handheld in 2010 or 2011. And i have a DS lite, so i don't think i'm missing much.
dude i dont think theres going to be a new DS any time soon becuse the DSi came to america april 5th 2009 and the DSi has firm ware updates like the wii.
This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade. And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
Oh yes, I am DSi enabled! I Have been since the day of it's release. I admit I was sceptical before hand and wondered what one earth the point was in having a camera in a games console, but have since discovered its great fun and offers no end of entertainment with friends, stretching and distorting my mates heads. It also doubles as an MP3... ah hem... AAC player, web brower, game downloader and improves all the DS games because the screen is that smidgin bigger than the DS Lite. What can I say... technology, it's gr8 init?!!
