Has anyone purchased one?

I was just wondering as im thinking of buying a nintendo ds.
What are the games, graphics and duration of the general games like?
I dont want to purchase one and the games only be like 20 hours of gameplay.

I have seen Nintendogs, Oh gosh it is cute!
I have had a 'go' of my friends and it is great, thinking about getting one but I am worried as I think it would just be a novelty for me and the novelty wearing off after a few months as the game would become very repetitive.

Hmm, I think it depends on why you would be buying it. Personally I have one for the multiplayer abilities, which seem to be endless. Games like Mariokart never get boring for our group of friends. There is also a chat capability which is quite amusing - and the prospect of future internet capability is a god-send.
Mario 64 is the most obvious single player one I think - that's very cool, and seems to make use of the touch pad quite well. And there are plenty novelty type games, testing it's capabilites, like Project Rub, though personally I think the replay value on those doesn't last very long.
Nintendogs is a lovely game, and can keep you occupied for a while, though again the play value is limited - that is, depending on how much you are into games like that. Kind of like, Petz or The Sims I suppose.
I have heard that they are a few rpgs on and coming out on the DS, which should be nice. I haven't personally heard anything about them though.
I think it's worth getting one. It's definately got more gameplay value to it than the PSP. Or maybe even wait until the new DS model comes out? I don't think that's too far away..

I suggest you get Wi-FI too.

I'm getting one shortly (the new DS Lite) just basically because I don't think much of the PSP, I'm quite taken by a few of the games on the DS and I've heard rave reviews about it's durability. It's also half the price of a PSP, which is an important consideration for me.
