Yeah, I like the fact that it folds as well. It was nowhere near my first handheld, though. I've had all Nintendo handhelds, starting with some Game & Watches and original Game Boy through the 3DS. I even had a Game Boy Light from Japan. Never had any non-Nintendo handhelds and never had anything past 3DS (XL, New, New XL).
You of course know that they make an adapter to plug headphones in via the link (or was it charging) port, right?
