Wireless Messenger?

GBA has too limited controls to make this useful. I got plenty enough annoyed having to use a controller to write messages in Animal Crossing, I don't think I'd have much desire to do the same with my GBA. Not to mention, in order to send the message, wouldn't you have to be in range of the other GBA? You might as well talk to each other then! The only application for this would be cheating on tests, talking shit to your buddy at a wedding/funeral/church service, or trying to find your friend in a crowded dance club.
