An outstanding pocket resource 
2008-02-24
Compact and well built, this unit has a wealth of information available. Very easy to use and I appreciate the option of changing character size. A back lit feature would be helpful(to me). It's a bargain considering the number of references included.
Extremely useful 2008-01-15
I have been looking to purchase an electronic dictionary for a long time. Initially I was considering the MW and Sharp models. The MW had a limitation that it allowed only 40 words in its list, The sharp didn't have any games or word lists. Then I stumbled onto this model. There were no reviews here, but epinion had a positive one. So I bought it.
It is very good. It has a very good dictionary, thesaraus and encyclopedia. Often when I look up a word, there are definions in all the three (dictionary, thesaraus and encyclopedia) for the same word. Everything that I have looked up is there. It has a bunch of games and you can create a word list with upto 100 words. The games can use the wordlist as an input (three levels of randomness). The games have three levels of difficulty too.
The dictionary is easy to use. As you type letters, it shows possible words. Speed is very good.
Area for improvement: The definitions game where you have to guess the word from definition doesn't use the wordlist (most of the other 10 or so games use the wordlist as an optional input though). If it did, it could be used as a both way flashcard (definition to word and word to definition). Right now you can only go from the words to its definition.
