Game Boy Advance: SP Gets Brighter Backlit Screen
We remember being completely satisfied when the GBA:SP was released with the front-lit TFT screen.

I guess that statement was true for a few weeks, as now it seems that honor goes back to the GBA:SP (although, the DS screen seems pretty vibrant to us.)
