Re: [PRE-ORDER] Circuit Sword, Circuit Sword Lite + Circuit Gem - OPEN

is the 640x480 screen hands down better than the 320x240 screen in every way, or are there some things the 320 screen does better like color, brightness, response time...?

Re: anyone ever try installing backbuttons in the battery door?

I need to get ...

anyone ever try installing backbuttons in the battery door?
