But yeah, doesn't really matter because it's got the games. That, and coming from the DS Lite the form factor is incredible to me. The only physical gripe I have about it is the circlepad, which might just be a case of getting used to it, but I don't feel entirely comfortable with it yet.

You can navigate almost the entire UI without using the touchscreen. What are you using the touchscreen for?
