I have 530$, I planned to get the DS lite however with the 3ds its hard to find the justification. Then just at a whim I looked at phones and noticed the motorola milestone was only 417 this would be an instant buy except I bought a old used samsung finesse a month ago. Is it worth making the upgrade to the milestone? I hate how slow my phone is, the touchscreen is unresponsive and most of all I miss the slide out keyboard its impossible to keep up with more then on person. Also with the milestone I can gets apps and even emulators for GBA etc. It seems like it has all the features of my Itouch combined with the best of a phone

Should I take the plunge and get the phone or should I get a DS an wait for my contract to expire in 7 months?
 
Well the Milestone/Droid is already a year old... But it's still the best DROID out there because it doesn't have a locked boot loader. But also, remember you have to pay for monthly data on the Milestone so it will add up.
 
It's your choice. But here are some info on 3DS.

Although it's not out yet, the 3DS is the first glasses-free 3D gaming device in the market(like the ones in theaters minus the glasses). It also supports multimedia, motion control, touch-screen, 3 cameras, and Wi-Fi. It is also compatible with the DS software and DSi wares.

Here's a video that explains how the 3D works:

Some 3DS features (there's more that weren't announced by Nintendo) you don't know about:
The 3DS graphics is the closest handheld gaming device that comes close to 360/PS3 graphical wise(you gotta see it to believe it; specs don't count), it supports 2 screens, 1st screen as a 3D screen without glasses(it's real and it works, you can also turn off the 3D if you want 2D), 2nd screen as a touch-screen, compatible with the old generations of DS softwares, gyroscope, accelerometer, audio player, 3 cameras(one inside, and two outside), capable of taking 2D/3D photos and capturing 2D/3D videos, 2D/3D movie playback, multitasking(i.e. You can access web browser while playing a game), Virtual Console Service(which was not available with the DSi/DSi XL) and some 3D remakes of classic retro games(GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, and more), also compatible with DSi Wares, 3DS Mii Plaza (Mii creation), augmented reality games, CrossPass" (which can automatically seek and connect to wireless network nodes such as Wi-Fi hotspots, sending and downloading information in the background while in sleep mode or while playing a game), 3D TV streaming(only available in Japan at the moment), e-book reader,better online capabilities, video chat, shop channel, web browser (and anything you do on the web like mail, facebook, etc.), and more which weren't fully announced by Nintendo. Plus the games are longer and are quality games.

Some games that will be coming out for it:
Metal Gear Solid 3, Super Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil: Revelation, Resident Evil: Mercenaries, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Times, Kid Icarus, Paper Mario, Star Fox 64, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, Mario Kart, Kingdom Hearts series, Final Fantasy series, Dead or Alive 3D, Ninja Gaiden, Samurai Warriors 3D, Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, Megaman Legends 3, and more.

Just in case you go "where's the 3D!?" it won't work on your computer screen, you gotta see it in person to see the 3D.

You should know that glasses-free 3D cameras and videos don't come cheap and you're looking at about $500+. If you think about it, the iPod Touch cost more than the 3DS when it comes to features and games.
