Yeah, I'm still on classic GBA. I've used a friend's SP and I'm not so sure about the idea:

SP Pros:
Rechargable battery (note, I actually have one of those third-party grips for the GBA that have the rechargable battery inside it, and I absolutely love it. Funny, huh, that I prefer to make the already-larger GBA even bigger, huh? :wink: )
Backlit screen (okay, I concede that this is a good thing, but sometimes I've noticed a "washed-out" look to them that is just horrible)

SP Cons:
Who builds a handheld without a headphone jack built right in? That was absolutely idiotic! I do not want to stick a dongle onto a miniature device to add headphone capability. It should be an amendment in the constitution: All handheld video game systems MUST have headphone jacks!
The size factor. Absolutely hideous. Not only are the buttons too close together, but the screen always seems to be at a horrible angle. They really should've made the hinge capable of swiveling 180 degrees, right?

On a similar note, who else has seen the fake photo of a handheld Gamecube? Great concept, but that would be impossible at that size. Make it a bit larger, but it'd be awesome, huh?
