2.0 out of 5 stars Nice dictionary, bad quality, September 2, 2008

It would be a nice dictionary if not the build quality. The most important thing is that it freezes randomly and sometimes it is hard to make it work again, because pressing the reset button and even removing batteries do not always help. First time it happened several months after we bought it. I was able to reset it by pushing random combinations of buttons. Now, after 2.5 years of use, it is dead with half of the screen black and half white. No reaction to reset, batteries removal or keyboard.

Think twice!

1.0 out of 5 stars very glitchy and wonky, March 3, 2008

For this day it is already the third item in a row for us. We had to replace it twice. If it wasn't the seller's policy not to give refund after one week, we would definitely prefer a refund.

The first dictionary could stop working and none of the buttons responded till we would take out the batteries and then put them back in. Usually it happened every day. Than we asked to replace it, and the next unit worked ok for about 2 or 3 weeks. Then it stopped working forever with all our attempts to replace the batteries etc.

Hopefully, the third one would work better, but who knows... The message was clear from the very beginning. I would never buy it one more time, even if for less.

The product is a considerable improvement over older models is size and weight. The dictionary is good wih almost all common words although sometimes the translations are not for common accepted usage but rather some of the more esoteric definitions.
